Lima: The return of the Peruvian national team to the World Cup after a 36-year absence has spurred a boom in sales of player trading cards and stickers across this South American nation.
In the country’s capital, obtaining all of the stickers to fill the official Panini Fifa World Cup album is no easy task, as the products sell out in a matter of minutes, reports say.
Oscar Pizarro, sales manager of the Tai Loy chain of school and office supply stores, an authorised dealer, said the shops sold 140 tons of stickers within the first 10 days of their release.
“We are all in this fever and euphoria,” Jose Luis, a collector said.
