2013 ESP Elite NRL Cards Thread (Updated 5/8/13)

Releasing so many sets a year is going to kill this company. Just floods the market without concern of collectors at all.
I only own the cowboys cards from the traders and powerplay releases. If the next set is the same.... Then I will again only get the cowboys cards.
Last year I spent over $8000 on dynasty alone.... (With no regrets!!).... This year I've spent under $100......... I've started spending my money on "other" cowboys memorabilia instead.... And that says something about ESP......

Wish I could say the same. Thats How much I should have spent.
It pissed me off that as a titans collector there is only 1 insert to get and its an over priced rookie sig.
The retirements, chart toppers and premierships were great in theory but unfortunately titans didn't fall into any od those categories!
And I am not sure they do.......3 months ago redtorana and I sent away a heap of damaged case cards, inserts and parallels. Seeking replacements for the case cards and offering the damaged inserts / parallels as an example of their quality control issues. It was only yesterday I received an express post parcel from ESP's Production Manager with the replacements. Some cards were in top loaders, some just in sleeves, some toploaders had multiple cards with no sleeves and they were not sealed at the top and all were wrapped in a number of rubber bands.
Well I went ballistic............
even the replacements had some degree of damage (not all) which was unacceptable and boy did I give them both barrels.Dave
i inboxed select on facebook last week pleading for them to throw their hat in the ring for the license next time round. no reply.
would love to see them back. even the traders base set looks ugly. on top of all their, marketing and card quality issues, their graphic designers are second rate to select.

I wonder if i'll get my replaced Case Cards back soon. For the record, Di at Select returned my damaged cards within 3 days. Currently waiting 2.5 months to get these ones back and still nowhere to be seen...
I doubt if Select will grab the NRL Licence back, i believe that ESP are here for another 5 yrs yet
I heard ESP had a 3 year contract...... with a 2 year option if NRL are happy to extend.... So maybe we need to bombard the NRL with our complaints. I've also heard that the NRL can cancle the 3 year deal if ESP don't perform...... ESP
