  1. *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01. Robust standard errors are shown in parenthesis. The dependent variable in all specifications is the vendor’s price quoted in thousands of Colombian pesos (kCOP). Controls in all regressions: geographic cluster, day and sticker fixed effects; (perceived) age and gender of the vendor, whether the vendor has nearby vendors, and journey. Front Page Emblem 1: FIFA World Cup Trophy. Front Page Emblem 2: Official ball—Telstar, FIFA Fair Play Logo, or Panini Logo. Tier 1 Team Emblem: Argentina, Brazil, or Germany. §In Column (1), we use the list’s total price if the vendor mentioned it. Otherwise, we use the sum of the four stickers for each vendor–buyer interaction when the vendor separately quoted the prices for the four stickers. We could not construct the sum in 3 interactions (3 vendors) because the vendor did not quote one of the four stickers. In 24 interactions (21 vendors), the vendors gave a total price for the four stickers. Eleven of them did not say the price for each sticker individually.
