CONVENTION 2006 PICK 'N' MIX

Corinthian held an annual convention which brought together collectors from all over the world. The Convention was the highlight of the collecting calendar and something which all collectors looked forward too, even if they were unable to attend the event personally.

​

​

The annual Corinthian Convention was an incredibly popular event, with a whole host of products being made specially for the convention. Perhaps the most popular area of the entire convention was the 'Pick 'n' Mix' section. This was essentially a huge box which was filled with all kinds of Corinthian products from their extensive back catalogue, including clear sachets, blister packs, window boxes and platinum packs.

 

 

The Pick 'n' Mix area was ideal for collectors who were collecting figures loose as it gave tremendous potential for bargains, as collectors of all ages enjoyed a rummage through seeing what figures they could find.

​

 

Capitalising on the popularity of this section, Corinthian produced a set of 4 figures to be given away free for every £10 spent in the Pick 'n' Mix area. The 4 figures were all in club away kits with the 4 chosen being Cristiano Ronaldo for Manchester United, Steven Gerrard for Liverpool, Carles Puyol for Barcelona and Pavel Nedved for Juventus.

 

 

Of course the figures were given out at random but the Corinthian staff were happy to oblige if collectors wanted a specific player, and if you spent £40 they would give you a full set of 4.

 

​

These figures can be somewhat over looked when it comes to rarity, as I feel most clear sachet product is, however they can be incredibly hard to find these days, especially when you factor in Corinthian only made 1,000 of each!

 

​

The figures were released as clear sachets and came with collector card. Only 1,000 of each was produced.
