As for Steam stickers, did you never partake in Panini football stickers
when you were younger!

 
I have no idea what those are.

They are still going but no where near as big as they used to be. So at
the start of a season you could an sticker album for each player in the
top division of the English football league. You then bought packs of
stickers helping to fill in each of those portrait placeholders. When
you got duplicates they went into your swaps pile to be taken to school
to trade them for stickers you didn't have. Think of it as gambling for
under ten year olds.

I believe I briefly did the same with hockey cards around the same age,
quickly got bored and the cards ended up clothespinned into the spokes
of the bicycle to make it sound like a motorcycle (to a 10 year old
anyway.)
