Are we going to miss Select ?

Select produced the Rugby League stickers from 1992 to 1994 so they have done League stuff for 20 years on and off.

Some times its 'better the devil you know than the devil you don't'... Must say Di is exceptional...

I will miss Selects customer service...the way Di responds quickly to emails and will make an effort to correct something that has gone wrong in the quality department.

My fear is that this will no longer be the case with ESP as it seems near impossible to get any sort of info out of them unless you come across a rep at a card show and corner him.

Just remember Select supporters they are the ones that "chose" to walk away from the contract according to their own fb page.

You all want to jump on esp and judge cards you have not even seen but fail to note the fact that without them there may be no release at all next year.

Anyone collecting Cricket this year.....that's right, Select walked away from that contract too.....

Probably because they were getting hammered by the cricket collectors too (or are these the same people who collect their league cards as well ??? )

ESP have a 5 year deal for the NRL licence.

All I know is that ESP produced the Telegraph/Courier Mail cards at some stage but know little else.

I'm just stating facts mate. They chose to walk away. The cop just as much shit from AFL collectors. You really think that's going to effect their decision making to walk away from a profitable contract?

Money talks and bullshit walks. You don't pack you bags up because a few collectors on a forum bag you out.

Reasons for select losing their license= To many complaints to the NRL and Consumer watchdog is on to them because of complaints to fair trading, printing COPY WRITE AFL on the back of every D.I.Y. laser card was the icing on the cake and is an insult to the NRL with the giant battle of the codes we have seen over the last few years.
See some people don't realise that some collectors spend a lot more $$$ on the product then the biggest sellers ever will, correction, ludicrous more $$$ the sellers ever will
This forum is just a drop in the ocean when it comes to feedback.
Any company that manufactures faulty products is going to end up on the wrong side of the stick one day and it will catch up with them, oh yes mark my words it will catch up with them

Bring on ESP! If ESP can mass manufacture hundreds of thousands, if not millions of fancy little Telegraph/Courier footy cards and get basicly all of it right with a good quality standard, imagine how good their premium products will be

Select were very good at times but they got greedy, evil greedy any company that takes collectors for a ride and takes their customers for granted thinking that they are the only company in the business so they can do what they like, should think again

Hahaha. Made up facts

I'm not sure why everyone is whinging about select, granted ive only vested interest in this years dynasty and last years strike series but they seem to be well made and great looking cards, ive seen the ESP page for the rep series later this year and to be honest I like select's look by a mile, anyway carry on.
