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

Brought them in 2 different case shares a month apart.

Was originally only going to get 2 boxes but brought up when I thought I was going to get at least 1 major hit a box. Defiantly regret that now.

Ok that explains the bad luck.....Unfortunatly with ESP they have done that from day one & keep on doing it & seem to have no idea about the battlers that love their NRL cards..:(
 
Most people can't buy a case in 1 hit and therein lies the issue. I get the feeling a genuine mistake has been made; surely they haven't intentionally placed double sigs in some boxes and none in the next. I'd guess there has been a mistake in processing. If not...:mad:

They did exactly the same with their 1st release last year Limited.. 4 hits per case found in 3 boxes out of the 10 boxes in the case .

I get the feeling I may have run over someone from ESP's heard of pet black cats with the luck of had with them. Last year I managed to pull the Lockyer 002 off a 10 pack bust and get another Lockyer off a 1 box bust of Dynasty. and now between multiple boxes of the rep release Traders and Elite I've gone belly up every time.
 
I hope someone from ESP is reading these posts & already working on the ratio problems for the next release. Very hit & miss. If you hit you hit good but if you miss you miss big time.
 
This is insane, the cards people are pulling from only a few boxes is unbelievable.

Unfortunately some members have had dud boxes, but the luck people are having is incredible, the top three hits in one box..... Cant beat that!

Cant wait for my 2 cases, another box, 2 starter packs and 2 albums to arrive, hopefully i can have similar luck to you guys on my way to completing the Sensations set.

Oh, and that 001 Slater i just know is mine!
 
I was only going to buy a few boxes originally but then decided to grab cases
buy the sounds of things it was right choice
So sorry to hear some of u are getting dud boxes
if the product was produced in Australia they might have more control over production.
Surely the 2 zigs per box is a mistake.
 
I think it's a fantastic release...especially with how quickly ESP have been improving from set to set. Basically, all the complaints at the moment have been related to the packing of the product, not the actual cards / inserts / quality etc. Packing is something that should be easy enough to address moving forward and i'm sure ESP will be bombarded with feedback related to it. As far as the set itself, two thumbs up!

Totally agree Michael. Its funny some people only want to point the finger at ESP and be negative every chance they get.

Cause you know good old Select never had an issues with ratios on their boxes did they........;)
 
As far a set itself goes its a great set awesome looking cards a big thumbs up their to ESP.
On the positive side the numbers on the cards are so much easier to read this time round so that's a big plus for a blind old bugger like me.
But If people say nothing About company;s mistakes when producing any product in any industry mistakes will continue.
 
I think this release will do more good than bad for the hobby. More than 90% of buyers will come out better off!

Agreed, I don't think it is all doom and gloom. Sure there are one obvious mistakes but I don't recall a 'perfect' Select release.For me the Ratios are a big issue as I feel bad for those who just buy one or two boxes and don get a better than average hit but aside from that this release ticks all the boxes!

ESP must have listened to some extent as sig cards are numbered and the player quality is very good. Two releases this year, 54 sigs with some huge names amongst them is pretty good IMO. Hopefully they continue to listen and only get better!!
 
Their rate of improvement is something Select could only dream about. I just hope they fix the spreading out of box hits for future releases, because otherwise I won't be buying anymore. I hope it's not some weird theory on preventing sales on ebay, or something.
 
Everyone complained that the previous ESP sets were horrible for value from a resellers perspective. This series is probably the best series ever in regards to value for resellers. ESP have listened.
