Sneak Peak Part 2

[edabomb]

On the topic of the cards - I think they look pretty nice from those previews. Let's just hope the next preview isn't a cartoon GEM!!!

 

[footypugs2011]

Yeah true they are looking great.

 

[hybridtheory13]

Haha I missed their facebook sledge, thats pretty petty! On the plus side that bulldogs card doesnt look bad!

Just got off the phone to Steve Wang. He has just spoken to the production manager and we will not have NRL 2012 until at least the 20th March. Select will update their Facebook page today apparently.

Cheers Glenn

Im pretty sure Select get their info from here at the moment Glenn.

 

[goldcoasttradingcards]

He spoke to them then called me back and apparently late Feb was the original date but as he said the other day, they were running late so he expected them around 20th March, so he called to double check today and production said they would call the office and get it ammended so hopefully with that call or them monitoring this thread it will happen.....lol

Another sneak in the same day. Ok who works for select on here.

Im trying to work this card out. To me it has a "2007" and a "Champions", and numbered "TC1", which would be "T?????? Champions" of the year 2007. Seems a bit odd.

And i reckon that "double tigers" one is a gem.

 

[ooneil]

Im thinking given the reaction i got earlier that i was not to far wrong calling it a double trouble card

 

[footypugs2011]

Kickoff for the season is march 1st so at least it's not too late in the season to release the cards. Wish one year they would release them maybe a couple of weeks before kick off.

I reckon that the word we can see part of isnt champions as that is not the top of an 'm' before the possible 'p' What about a word along the lines of centurions??????? I think it is 'urions' we can see

BAHAHAHAH good one select.

glad there angry at someone else this time round with this release.

although id love more than anything else to get my hands on one of the autos early again, and ruin there little sneek peak marketing scheme

Ahh yes, on closer inspection that does look like a "U". "TC" could be Try Centurions?

The '07' is still a bit odd.

Go back to the Afl or Select, Wherever you came from.
People have to realise that these sneek peaks dont make everyone hard.
That doesnt mean they arent entitled to an opinion.

 

[ch0pzta]

They said the flyers will be posted out this week.

True! I guess Owen must've hit a nerve

Funny how the person trolls these forums and doesn't offer a response or insight to his company, but has enough time to post an inappropriate facebook status about a customer/collector that reflects very poorly on himself and the company he represents.

 

[1967Sharks]

Maybe you need to spend more time reading. All the regulars on this section on the forum can tell you how Owen feels about Select.
I do admit that i agree with most of what he says and i think as long term collectors we are entitled to speak out.
We only want whats best for the hobby and dont bag out Select for the fun of it.
We want improvements and want NRL cards to be of the same quality as the rest of the world. We pay premium prices.
Compare what $400 can buy you between NBA and NRL cards.

I completely understand. I have no association with Select nor do I work for them. Owen has every right to voice his opinion as a collector about areas of improvement and ways to improve the hobby. That's what I've been saying from the start? I just found it petty how the person behind Select's Facebook page resorted to posting a status that was just inappropriate.

 

[ooneil]

Meh. I dont really care. However its funny that the same guy that is trolling these threads and calls me out on facebook does not have the guts to out himself in OCT.

Must be a bit of a

 

[hybridtheory13]

i think the 07 in the bulldogs card could be a jersey number? thats just a guess tho...
