Today died Franco Cosimo Panini, the father of the figurines, which were then to me especially baseball cards. The news brought me back to the years indientro 70, when I asked my mom to buy 4 pounds of the 100 bags of 25 pounds each. Incredible! I remember waiting for the release of the album, usually in February, and this cost 100 pounds. On second thought, how many things you could buy a time with 100 pounds. The figurines of the smelt, the smell of glue I loved it. I would spend hours leafing through the album, to see again and the faces of the players, but then never fail to complete even one, but that's another story. At that time, football was the game on Sunday, the games that I did the oratory of the players and the figurative, the figurative yes, so we called. It was a kick bread and sausage, there was no Sky, there were no advances on Saturday, the postponement of Sunday, the Champions League, Controcampo, Process and various crap. We kids waited on Sunday to watch the matches on the radio and see the ninetieth minute, the rest of the week he spent to buy the stickers, stick them on the album and to exchange duplicates: celo, conceal, missing, conceal ..... and to think there were enough 100 pounds to be happy.
