ESP NRL Traders 2013 Sneak Peak UPDATED WITH NEW IMAGE

[ooneil]

Then that means 1040 cases only or 12480 boxes. Seems low for this type of release considering all the newsagents & Coles Express ect that will be selling these cards.

Had the same thought but given how much limited edition they have left over im not shocked.

 

[Matt26]

I would say they wouldn't have any more than 100 of each legends signatures.

Although the signature hits will be hard to come by, I can see them retaining some decent value. Imagine if some of the better top prospects (now young guns) cards from the past were limited to less than half what they were (300 to approx 150)?

The old supply and demand!

Cheers
Matt

i bet the sigs are smugged like the last ones i only have 2 from the last ones both smugged rubbish

Just reverting back to the Limited Edition Release for a moment ...has anyone scored the Origin Game Used Balls ???????

 

[Dr Grange]

It is low, but dont forget theres another set due out 4 or so weeks after these are released, a lot of attention will turn to those pretty quick, if they produced a lot more of series one they might risk being stuck with leftovers once the new ones come out.

I can't help but think they have brought the Power Play forward for some reason. I think the Traders will be a much better & easier sell than the power play. By bringing the Power Play so close to the 1st release will kill most of the sales for the Traders. Why would a company do this other than try to recover from mistakes they have in the 1st release. Just my thoughts.

If the Panthers young gun is gonna cost any more then $30 I'm gonna give up collecting NRL and sell Up the Panthers cards I have

This is why I love the fact that they havent released ratios! Its keeping this discussion thread extremely lively. If the ratios had been
released people would already have broken down the price of the product to the nth degree, and a perfect example of why ebay
presales suck so much fun out of everything. Presellers have got burnt and I have no sympathy for them whatsoever. US releases dont
have ratios listed, and its upto the marketplace to determine values based on perceived scarcities, creating a fluctuating and interesting
marketplace. You wont have the usual presellers listing a Harry Siejka Young Gun for $20, followed by the next wave listing it at $17.50
to try and corner their market share, and so on until the value of the product on the secondary market is totally devalued.

[ooneil]

I cant confirm this as 100% true but I have been told that the Heritage Jersey cards were taken out of the product at pack out stage and wont appear.

so that will make the cost of the other cards more expensive still. I just did costing last night.

Like i said i cant 100% confirm but they are not on the flyer and they are not listed on the Ikon website so what i was told makes sense.

Perhaps someone can throw an email into Terry to confirm.
