World cup memorabilia thread

[subzero]

In anticipation of the world cup I thought i'd start off a memorabilia thread with something I bought last year. Here is an excellent mint condition complete collection of 1990 medals, the beginning of the folder is actually a few magazine style pages of world cup info, followed by the medal collection on the back card page. Me and my best mate used to collect these as kids, I never knew there was a collectors folder though back then so it was nice to finally 'complete' the full set with the folder all these years later.

Any other world cup memorabilia you have feel free to share.

I had this when I was little. 86 and 90 were my favourite world cups. 88 and 96 my favourite Euros.

Yeah I remember the Esso ones as well in the blue folder I think it was, they were very similar to these ones.

Italia 90 is the first world cup I remember well, I vaguely recall 86 but not in much detail. I had the medal set you posted, and these cool Coke footballs:

Ah... I remember Italia 90 well, spent two weeks of the World Cup in Rhodes. Great memories of watching games in bars to late into the evening!

I think that the Esso coins would have been the FA cup coins from a few years earlier?

I have both complete sets in the folders in ... yes you guessed it... the loft!

Remember those footballs well.
I think that Italia 90 was the first one that merchandising was everywhere!

Edd, the first one that I remember well is 1978!

Yeah I remember those, I think my older bro had one, another little thing i've completely forgot about since literally 1990.

Thanks for sharing!

Weirdly I didn't get into a world cup until the USA 1994 one which is actually the first one I vaguely remember getting into but not much, I remember collecting the stickers for it too with the album, which is now god damn ****ing expensive and I really need one for my collection.

The very first world cup that I actually really got into with genuine passion for supporting the England team was the 1998 world cup, when I was almost leaving school and old enough to actually pay attention to it because I wasn't playing with toys anymore.... now iv'e got the best of both worlds. :lol:

I think you'll be surprised how much that's worth especially completed, maybe it would be best not being stored in a shed because of it degrading?

Don't worry, it's well looked after. It's more of a chalet than a shed, carpeted and heat/light. Its in a detolf with lots of my other knick knacks. It's basically my man cave.

That's very cool. I have an Espana 82 milk glass promo mug with Naranjito the orange on. Great WC that.
