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

I thought Ikon Collectables handled the distribution to newsagents and similar retailers. If that's true this release could be as widespread as the previous two releases.

Ikon handles distribution to card businesses such as Digeze, redtorana etc. ESP have their own Network Distribution area that handles other retailers like 7/11's, Target etc

200 each, one each team, could be a 1:36 or 1:72.

Actually, 180 in that photo.

Hmm, that could cost me a bit. I was really hoping Locke, Matulino or Mateo would finally get a Signature card. Ah well still one I want in my collection. The card itself looks awesome. Intrigued by who gets the rookie card - hoping for Hurrell or Laumape, hoping it will not be Tuimavave or Godinet.

Or they could pump out 1800 cases and make it 1:6 boxes again

I really really hope the rookie is a Laumape!

I have a bad feeling you could be right. Hopefully they value the 'Elite' publicity of the product more than that.

Has there been any news about the tigers signatures?

Just got some great news,

I already shared this on the Shows forum page but I wanted to show you guys as well.

ESP the company that makes NRL traders cards and the Power play game cards have booked a table at our Card Show IN Newcastle. To celebrate they are giving away 6 boxes of cards, through lucky door prizes and a FREE BOX BREAK! Also a free packet to everyone who attends.

I know this doesnt relate to Elite, but I did find this on youtube...

Here is a what if (based on a whisper I heard), what if the 2013 NRL Traders Elite is a 24 pack box with 10 boxes to a case OR retail boxes thru Targets etc and Hobby boxes to card shops and sellers............??

If that did happen to be the case, do hobby boxes usually have more hits or better odds than a retail box?

Yep. Would be a positive thing if Dave's info is on the money.

Interesting idea, cheap access for the mainstream, but the hardcore can pay extra for a chance at something big.
