“The shortage of stickers is complicated. There aren't stickers anywhere. On one hand there is my frustration of not being able to buy them, and then I arrive home every day (to my children) saying: 'Hey dad, did you buy stickers?' "
Sticker manufacturer Italy's Panini says many adults are also collecting stickers this year
which is adding to the demand
The suggested price of a package of five stickers is 150 pesos ($1)
but the shortage has led to prices doubling or tripling in informal markets
