Got, got, need. It's a tradition that will resonate with all football fans.
The anticipation of the build-up to a major international tournament is complemented by the collection of stickers for the official album, whether it be for a World Cup or a European Championships.
And Leeds fans will have been excited by the prospect of possessing a rare item - a sticker of a United player at an international tournament for England. You have to wind the clock back some 19 years since that last happened.
One supporter noted on Reddit, however, that Phillips had not made the cut after purchasing the album for this summer's tournament.
Phillips was given his maiden England cap just last September and has received seven in total during his meteoric rise on the international stage and is expected to play a part in the finals this summer despite worries over an injury he suffered on the final day of the season against West Bromwich Albion.
He followed in the footsteps of Elland Road greats such as Alan Smith, who was the last to receive a call-up of any description for England back in 2004 and will emulate the quartet of Whites players who represented the Three Lions at the 2002 World Cup.
Nigel Martyn, Danny Mills, Rio Ferdinand and Robbie Fowler were the last English players at Leeds to represent England in Japan and South Korea and Phillips could join an illustrious group.
Phillips has been included in Gareth Southgate's provisional 33-man squad and though that needs to be trimmed down to 26, the expectation is that he will be involved in that final travelling party.
John Stones is another notable absentee from the squad list in the album, but there is a perfectly reasonable explanation behind Phillips not featuring.
"It's been a long-standing tradition that we will publish the official sticker collection well in advance of the actual tournament starting, and well in advance of when the squads are announced by the managers," a Panini spokesperson told Leeds Live .
"A lot of people like to use our collections as the first thing that kicks off their excitement for a tournament.
"Of course, it's a physical product so we have to make the decisions on the players even earlier than that. The scale of the production that we do for the World Cup and Euro collections is so vast that it is quite the undertaking.
"We are committing to who we think is going to be in these squads a number of months in advance of when the managers do, probably in the very early part of the year in which the tournament is happening.
"We will make our selections based on a combination of things. The experts at Panini HQ crunch the numbers and a huge amount of statistics on who we think will make that final selection, and every single team will be working with their national federation to get any sort of insight that they might have on what the manager might be thinking on who might make it.
"Eventually, we have to say that we think it's going to be these guys and inevitably there is a window of time between making that commitment and the manager picking his team where injuries, loss of form or indeed players coming into form could mean that we don't necessarily get it 100% right but our record is pretty darn good."
Leeds fans who still harbour hopes of collecting a sticker of Phillips may be encouraged to hear that there is the possibility of updated stickers being produced once Euro 2020 begins.
"In the past, we have produced sets of update stickers once the tournament is getting underway and the squads are being announced - there is inevitably a demand for that," the spokesperson added.
"I can't make any official announcements at this point but we will see, and we've of course had the change come through post-publication that the squads will be going up to 26 players - and England are now picking an even larger preliminary squad.
"Half of the England squad are going to be playing in the Champions League and the Europa League finals so I think Gareth Southgate is hedging his bets, and I don't blame him!
"But there will be players going for all the nations to the tournament that we wouldn't have factored in because at that point we thought we were only going to have 23 players. I think it's likely we will look at doing some update stickers at some point but we'll have to wait and see."
