Test Cricket Captains!

[Richo]

Well guys I took the plunge and it paid off!

Naz had one set left still sealed and although I had read all the horror stories on this release I couldn't resist getting 19/43 Original Signatures for the price he offered them at!

The 2012 AFL Draft Prospects release earnt me some serious dollars so I invested some of it on this! (Excuse the photos they aren't the best but they do the job )

When I first opened the very well packaged box I was thrilled at how these cards were presented! The Two Volume Album and Album box look awesome and before I even saw the cards I knew I had made the right decision.

Once I inspected the cards I saw a few of the flaws you all spoke about but I was lucky enough to not have any cards dinged or any seriously flawed signatures. Overall I am EXTREMELY happy with my purchase and would probably still have been just as happy at the retail price of $1395

Thanks mate! Undamaged but still had the signature flaws and cutting flaws you spoke of.

I knew that would be the case and still went ahead as I thought it was worth it to get signatures (numbered to only 200) of Gilchrist, Ponting, Waugh, Border, I Chappell, G Chappell, Taylor, Benaud, Hughes, Yallop.........the list goes on!

Kidding Naz!!!

Great to have met you last weekend Richo and thanks for showing me the set first hand.
A great set to see close up.
I have the facsimiles but would love an original set, time to start saving

regards Russell

Cheers mate! Good to meet you too!

If you can get one of these at the price I got them then I think it would be a good investment!

Kidding Naz!!!

I reckon the dodgy seller at least deserves a weekend ban from OCT

Seriously though, wish there was something I could do to make it right for you. Do you want me to attempt contact with the supplier to see if they can offer an exchange or something? Problem is we don't know if the next set is going to be any better huh?

Oh sure .... tell Paul what a treat it was to meet him. What about Raj and I? You don't call, you don't write ... whassup with that man?

 

[ooneil]

100% promise Naz I was kidding mate. Don't worry about it buddy.

Russell be very careful if you buy it. The condition of Richos set is by no means the norm.
