Alec,

Packets can be very lucrative.  I am fortunate enough to have a quantity of Europa 80 packets and they can fetch £10+, so I would definitely recommend collecting them if possible.  The only problem is finding enough at a 'reasonable' price as most punters on ebay now know the value of Panini items.

With regard to Italia 90 I roughly work on a guide of paying 20p - 25p per sticker so I would probably offer about £80, especially as there are no badges included.  As a guide I bought 400 back in 2006 for £72 and I don't really believe Italia 90 stickers have significantly increased in value since then.

Iain have you ever been tempted to open any of the Europa 80 packets as the badges in them have more value in some cases?
