Rare Panini World Cup 1998 sticker album
Description
I've misplaced my rare Panini World Cup sticker album from 1998. It's a navy blue binder with a holographic World Cup logo on the front and a slightly frayed red spine label that reads 'France 1998'. I last had it yesterday around 3pm while tidying my desk near the Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham. The binder is about 9 by 6 inches, and there’s a small dent on the bottom-right corner that I can spot from memory. Inside there’s a tiny paper label on the inside cover reading 'Property of RP' and a Zidane sticker I was chasing tucked in the last section. It’s part of my late uncle's collection and really means a lot to me—please help me get it back if you’ve seen it nearby in West Midlands.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
