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

[Jaames]

I'm thinking of buying a Cam Smith, as I'll not want to keep it I'll probably use it as trade bait

 

[Rekless]

Just started a Smith PC, spewing I won't be there to get one.

 

[Missing Hinges]

I will be there but i'm not interested in the "promo" cards, anyone want me to pick one up for them? Will trade for any league leader black or maybe a couple young guns

 

[jrinbulli]

Or how many re-sellers turn up with their whole family. Those RLPA cards that turned up on Ebay straight away were frustrating. Although I needed Ebay to buy them after Select would not budge on their $50 postage fee for NZ customers

$50 postage fee to send a little card to NZ?? Are you serious? How on earth did select justify that cost?

 

[nznrl]

They said it was a set postage fee that they charged no matter what you ordered and it couldn't be changed. However, they said they'd change it for the following releases, but I missed out on Dugan.

I wasn't happy, I can tell you that, but had other good experiences with Select. They would post redemptions free of charge on occasion.

Did you end up getting a Dugan?

 

[Matt26]

Not long to go.......my only concern is that its released on time. heard they have had multiple challenges to get this out on time. Fingers crossed.

I have a case on order and i cant wait to bust it!

Cheers

The funniest bit was they showed up loose in a $10 registered post envelope

Hi Graham

No, I'm having a petty sulk, because I don't want to spend $100+ for a card that I should have got for $50

-------

On a totally different note, after some thinking I've realised (unless I'm wrong) that this Tuimavave Young Gun is the 2nd most expensive card ever released of a Warrior (after Betham cap sig) since their inception in 1995. 2nd most expensive card in 18 years for a player that may well never play 1st grade again

I hope that Johnson superstar or the Future star card blows it out the window!

To Edabomb - yeah I couldn't believe it when my Gasnier FF came loose in an envelope

 

[shane_sharks]

had a good chat with the esp rep today seems to be pretty passionate about what he is doing

 

[ch0pzta]

Were any of the new ESP Elite cards 'on show'?

 

[GiRDS-]

not that i know of, but if these promos are anything to go by its looking the goods.

 

[ch0pzta]

Any idea if they all sold out?

 

[GiRDS-]

Nah i was only there for a short time about 8:30-10:30 so im not sure but he was always busy in that 2 hour period so they were going quick, i think i was the second person of everyone to buy off him

 

[RisingSun]

Rif has them on his Ja Ja's Collectables sit in stock at $195 each

 

[Rekless]

What number did you get Girds?

 

[GiRDS-]

What number did you get Girds?

6

 

[Rekless]

Nice.

 

[GiRDS-]

Nice.

yeah im stoked. grab one on his site i reckon before they all goo.

 

[Matt26]

Chatting to Rif he said he may purchase the 50/50 cards for himself.

I did see a guy get the number 1 cards out of the envelopes and he had his photo taken with Terry from ESP showing off the cards up on the stage.

Cheers
