Futera Albums Question

[ooneil]

Hi All,

What albums where ever released by Futera with sets. Any pictures would also be good.

Trying to put a list together.

Cheers, O:v:

1993/94
1996 World Cup (under 10 made)
1997 Decider Series (8 made?)
Brad will have a more detailed list on this......

 

[ooneil]

Wow - they really made that few. Whats the point of only making 10? Are they numbered or something.

 

[BoondasH1]

nah they're not numbered, I have no clue why they made so few.

This might help

I am pretty sure I have all of the Australian released cricket folders - will add pics to this thread for you tonight.

The 96 World Cup and 97 Decider folders are by far the toughest to find. I only bought the 96 World Cup one in the past few months and hadn't seen one for sale for a long long time - not sure on production numbers. The Decider one I bought back in 1997 for $75 and was told that there were only 7 or 8 prototypes made (I think it was 7), but were not released due to Futera going under (this was Futera's last release). I was not sure if this was true, but since 1997 I have never seen another one for sale (I have since acquired a second one only 6 months ago, and this person bought theirs through the same source I did back in 1997). So it seems to be true.

I'm pretty sure Raj or someone on here has a Decider folder also? I'd also be keen to know how many of us have the World Cup folder too...

I have the world cup and decider albums. I picked them both up when the sets first came out. My decider album came with the Ponting binder card. Was not aware they were in such short supply. The world cup one came up on eBay uk not too long ago.

OK here is what I've got, I have also included boxes that full sets came in. I don't have the Western Australia 50 year set, and I also don't have a 1997/98 Select folder (does it definitely exist?), so if anyone has them please post pics. I have tried to take photos to show the spine of the folder as well as the front.


1993/94 Futera folder (generic)

1994/95 Futera folder

1994/95 Futera Ashes Heroes box

1995 Futera Victorian 100yrs folder

1995 Futera Bradman folder

1995 Futera Heritage folder

1996 Futera World Cup folder

1997 Futera Decider folder

1998/99 Select folder

2003 Platinum box

2003/04 Ikon folder

2004/05 Elite folder

2007/08 Select folder

2008/09 Select folder

2009/10 Select folder

Nice photos Brad
The only ones I can add to that are a select 1997-98 series with an album and a 50 years of WACA that was released by Futera. Will add photos on the weekend if you want them

 

[bjs127]

Yes thanks Alex, please add pics of both of yours when you get a chance mate, I'd love to see them

 

[ooneil]

Very nice Brad - thanks for posting.

I got my Decider folder from Graeme when he had his store at the Brickworks in the 90s.

Can you remember where you got yours Matt?

not 100% sure - but surely there are more folders than what is being reported on here?

 

[bjs127]

I'm just going off what I was told, and so far there are 4 Decider folders owned by people in this thread. How many have you seen over the years? I have not seen any for sale.

 

[BoondasH1]

I have a Decider and World Cup Folder....... and a 1996 NBL folder, is this rare by any chance?

 

[bjs127]

Nice work Raj.

Has anyone on here ever seen a Decider folder for sale (other than the ones you guys have bought)?

Seems there are 5 folders accounted for on here...
