The Collector's Meeting taking place at Shopping Estação Goiânia this weekend features an extensive display of collectibles, including historical coins, banknotes, past World Cup sticker albums, miniatures, vinyl records, and vintage toys. The event transforms the shopping center into a nostalgic experience from Friday to Saturday, and entry is free for all attendees. With the World Cup year adding special significance, the exhibition allows collectors and football fans to revisit famous players and historical moments through older collections, as the current year's sticker albums have yet to be released.

This is the 5th edition of the event, boasting 13 exhibitors and over 500 unique items. The organization of such a gathering reflects the growing passion for collecting as a hobby that spans generations. Collectors of all sorts gather to share their passion and connect with like-minded individuals, creating an atmosphere of enthusiasm and camaraderie among attendees. It also serves as an attractive venue for families and friends looking to revisit their childhood memories of collecting or simply enjoying the variety on display.

Gilberto Lopes Faria, the event's idealizer, began his journey as a collector in the late 1970s with banknotes. His experience showcases how collecting can evolve from a personal pastime into a thriving community event. The Collector's Meeting not only highlights the rich history of collectibles, especially related to sports, but also emphasizes the cultural significance of this shared passion within Brazilian society, particularly as interest in football and memorabilia remains strong.
