A
photo album (or any similar
book) used to keep your sticker
collection. Unfortunately, if you actually
stick your
stickers in a
sticker album you
lose the normal fun aspects of
collecting things. For example:
- You can try to trade your stickers, but first you have to get them out of the album. This is dangerous because either the sticker comes off but doesn't stick properly in your buddy's album or it gets ripped and ruined. Worse yet, the sticky part stays stuck in the album and the picture part comes off, completely ruining the sticker.
- For the same reason, you don't want to sort your stickers. You have to organise them all before sticking them, being sure to leave enough room for future stickers. Nothing worse than running out of room on the googly-eye page and having to stick one on the fuzzies page.
Here's a
rundown of some
fun sticker
types:
bumper stickers - not fun to
collect--they're too damn
big
fuzzies -
Donkey Kong stickers were usually
fuzzy
Garbage Pail Kids -
sacrilege! leave GPK stickers on their
cards
googly-eyes - usually puffies with googly-eyes stuck on them
PAC-MAN stickers - came with PAC-MAN
bubblegum
puffies - raised
plastic stickers
smellies -
scratch 'n' sniff stickers
Sticker albums were also released
commercially for
popular TV shows (usually
cartoons), in which they showed you where to put the stickers that they
sold in packs like
baseball cards.
The Real Ghostbusters sticker album
rocked the most because it had
glow-in-the-dark stickers.
