The football trading cards harder to get when we were kids

Last update December 13, 2019 by Javier Argudo

Children football fans saw marked our childhood some things can never forget. The PC Football, Magazine Don Balon, parties with friends on the street and, Of course, the football trading cards.

Today we review (very personal) the memories of those mythical collections that passionate us (and continue to fascinate) and those adventures we had to run to get the most difficult to get trading cards.

At that time, like today, there were several ways to go completing a collection. La ‘fácil’ era ir al kiosco a comprar aquellos sobres que solían incluir 6 cromos inside the price 25 pesetas the late 80 and early 90.

But nevertheless, no siempre teníamos acceso al dinero necesario para ir haciendo crecer el ‘taco’ de cromos ya que por mucho que mendigáramos a nuestros padres, grandparents, tíos… el grifo solía cortarse.

Thus began the exchange with classmates or friends on the street. One went slowly realizing those trading cards coming out more and going out less so about the value was much higher than others when making changes.

In my memory and personal experience there are several particularly difficult trading cards that cost me enough to get to complete collections. As many of you remember, in the years 90 no existían los programas informáticos de hoy en día y los ‘experimentos’ y chapuzas para lanzar el cromo de un fichaje recién llegado era para alucinar como podéis ver in this other article.

The collections had normal trading cards, signings, place them, los fichajes ‘bis’ (these tended to be more complicated and fairly traded). further, there were several trading cards of one player newcomer, el ‘trucado’ y el auténtico y un buen coleccionista quería tener los dos.
