Quick answer
What to remember
980 main-album spaces
48 teams with 20 stickers each
Extra and update items tracked separately
01
The completion total
The 980 total is the useful number for measuring main-album progress. It combines the opening FWC section with 48 team sections.
A collector at 490 confirmed main-album stickers is therefore at 50% completion, before duplicate quantities are considered.
20 FWC-coded opening items
960 team stickers
48 team sections × 20 stickers
02
What the total does not automatically include
Randomly inserted Extra stickers and their colour treatments do not occupy the same role as a required numbered album space. Update products also need their own checklist.
Regional promotional items can vary, so collectors should record the edition and market alongside any item outside the main sequence.
03
How to track progress accurately
Use one status for each required code: missing, owned or duplicate. Count one owned copy toward completion and keep additional copies in a separate trade quantity.
