Way cool.

Words fail me...

You could even send them photos of famous people/other footballers.
Ronaldo as a Palace sticker! or Beckham! or even Simon Jordan if that does it for you!

Where's the upchuck smilie?

Any sign of the smarties stickers yet Neil?
I don't reckon they are gonna bother now.

Nope, neither do I.

Now that the main set is out I think that the Kick off stickers will not be re-stocked any more in shops, and the smarties ones won't come out at all.

this may help

Saw em yesterday, mini-cans are 79p... only one can left in store, ripped the top and found a Norwich sticker so left it!!

oh good stuff
hopefully the dealers will have them in their next catalogues then!
Can't be bothered to buy packs and packs of the main merlin 95 set, will just send off for the Palace ones.

Back on the record in the matter of Merlin Kick Off stickers...

I decided to collect all of these simply because I had so damned many of them, that when I counted I only needed about 30! Thanks to ebay I've whittled that down to 11 to complete my album, anyone holding a batch of swops they want to trade with??

I mainly need the big stickers wrapped in the bazooka bubblegum.

Anyone?

I've got some spare bubble gum you can have Neil, if that's any help ?

No, just the stickers thanks.

Neil, I'll have a look at the weekend for some swaps of the large bubble gum stickers (the ones that were badly wrapped around the gum). I'll have to check with my son who is also collecting them. What ones do you require ?

Ok here goes:

2, 80, 118, 179, 362

(still need #24 of the main stickers)

Also Palace ones: 137, 141, 153 to complete the album (I have collected one complete set but am not sticking them in the album as they will be going in my saddo, plastic-pouch Palace sticker collection)

Smarties: S8, S10, S12, S13, S14, S18, S19 and the special smarties issue round sticker of the normal collection featuring a Palace player (I have no idea who though).

What does your son need?

Sorry Neil for the delay in replying. I've had a look and we haven't got any swaps of the ones you require sorry. My son has been collecting for his little brother and sister as well so swaps of the kick-off ones are few and far between.

I have got lots of shoot out and Merlin Premier League '05 swaps + a full set of palace pro match series 3 1998 if you're interested.

Thanks for checking mate, am down to just three now: 80, 179, 362

If you should happen across any of those in the future, let me know (and still the same smarties list).

I have a big bundle of swops, pm me with your son's wants and I'll see what I can dig out. Regarding your shoot-out swops are they all teams or just Palace.

Shoot out swaps are all teams including Palace.

Off topic I know but I've just unearthed two tapes of interviews from Radio London 25/10/1981 of Paul Barron and 9/1/1983 with the anti-christ, if anyone is interested I'll try and transcribe.

Could be interesting, maybe for a feature in PE if Neil's interested Axie ?

Depends what the subject matter is... might be better for Don's Oral history.
