Dozens of boxes are stacked and obstruct the hallway on the first floor of the house.
“In stock, I have more than a million stickers”.
Christophe is a collector and retailer of Panini stickers in Val-d'Oise (95).
Fascinated by these vignettes since his childhood, he started collecting somewhat by chance ten years ago.
"It all started with a bet with a friend who arrived in the evening with a Panini album offered by the Parisian".
After confinement, tired of his old job, he decided to make it his main activity.
“I realized that it was a real business on the Internet”.
Recently, an old sticker of Cristiano Ronaldo sold for nearly 80,000 euros.
"I find it a bit crazy, but I've always been told that in the collection there is no limit", confides Christophe.

He therefore launched his “Beststickersworld” shop on the eBay site, and sold every day.
"My best sale is a Michel Platini sticker, I sold it for 500 euros when I had bought it for a few cents at a flea market", says the collector.
“90% of my purchases are on the Internet, but I really like going to flea markets to find nuggets,” he continues.
"I buy a lot of old stocks and it turns out that it's starting to take up a lot of space," admits the retailer in the middle of his boxes.
