As you start a new Monopoly GO sticker album, you’ll find yourself waiting for those Swap Packs and Wild Stickers, in hopes of speeding up your progress. However, when the album is brand new and every sticker feels precious, you’ll often find yourselves wondering which is more valuable—Wild Sticker or Swap Pack? This guide breaks down the pros of each of these to figure out which one is the best for you when you are starting your new sticker album in Monopoly GO.

Monopoly GO Wild Stickers vs Swap Packs
A Wild Sticker is a special, highly sought-after card that lets you choose any single sticker you are missing to complete a set. This includes even the rare gold stickers that cannot be traded, unless they’re featured in a Golden Blitz in Monopoly GO.
Whenever you receive a Wild Sticker, you will be presented with a list of all the stickers you don't currently have. You can simply select the one you want, and it will instantly be added to your album. Wild Stickers are incredibly useful for closing those stubborn sets that are just missing one specific card.
On the other hand, a Swap Pack is a type of sticker pack that contains multiple stickers, usually a mix of 3, 4, and 5-star cards. The unique feature of a Swap Pack is the ability to swap out some of the initially revealed stickers for new ones of a similar star value (within the 3 to 5 star range).
Swap Packs provide a greater chance of getting valuable higher-star stickers right away. The "swap" feature gives you more control over the outcome than a regular sticker pack. This increases your chances of finding stickers you need by letting you discard duplicates or less desirable ones.
At the start of a sticker album, when you're missing many stickers, a Swap Pack is better. These packs give you multiple stickers and the opportunity to redraw, increasing your chances of getting several new stickers in one go. With more stickers in the pack, you're more likely to fill in missing slots in different sticker sets simultaneously. The ability to redraw up to three times also increases your odds of getting something you actually need compared to a regular sticker pack.
However, a Wild Sticker is still incredibly valuable. If you do manage to get one early on, using it to grab any five-star Gold sticker can be a great strategy.
