Price rise?

Not that I am concerned as it looks a real swell set to sink your teeth into.

Oh damn I didn't even notice the price rise
Depending on ratios though if it's justified rise but it looks good for the first release of the year

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Same price as last year.

Oh. Thought they were still $2.99. My error. Carry on.

Its probably because, like most of us, you did not bother buying any last year.

Nah. Bought shedloads of single packets. But I'm a junkie. I just hand over the cash, take my packets and look to score. I've already got sweats seeing this ad.

Let me be the millionth person to say it no advance checklist is poor form IMO.

I like the NRL GF redemption idea that's pretty cool and a parallel special well for me jury is out on this.

How many lots of 4 brothers have played? Burgess obviously and then it seems to be a Bulldog special from there. Or is it that they all call each other Bro

Here's a wiki link to relatives:

670 to collect haha

Thats about 40 a team...........

 

[The Mad Hatter]

This is probably for another thread, but I reckon ESP should do a Master Redemption - 16 cards - one per team and you get to claim a full master set.

With this many cards, looks like I'll have to re-mortgage the house.

 

[Diggaz TC]

Ooh, the return of the puzzle pieces. This will give me a flashback to the 90's and collecting as a kid

 

[shane_sharks]

parallel special 1 per box?

 

[Matt26]

parallel special 1 per box?

Believe so....

Ok well this is different to the sell sheet I briefly saw when I was at ESP last week but glad its out there now. The other sell sheet (with more images) will be out the week of the release.

Legends – Lewis (Confirmed) and Provan (Rumoured) anyone confirm?
Three Brothers – Sims Triple Auto (Confirmed)
Four Brothers – Burgess Quad Card (I think this may be like the Triple Threats one card for each brother? not sure?)
2013 Season to Remember
- Chart Toppers (Similar to last year)
- Magic Moments (There is a Brooks debut card in this) These looked nice.
- Heritage (Showcasing a player wearing the Heritage Jerseys worn last year) looked nice
- 2013 Premiership (Similar as other premiers cards)
- Retirements (Similar to last year)
- Return to Sender focusing on the players bring back the ball from kicks (wingers/fullbacks)
- Galactic Stars – might be more than one version? but looked really nice - think superhero sketches
Base Parallels – 2 versions

20+ hits per box which give a lot more value than last year.

I think this will help address the main issue I know a lot of people had where the insert sets were small last year and you kept getting doubles very quickly.

Overall it looks a good set to chase with all of the inserts.

Cheers
Matt

So galactic stars could be like the elite Fast and furious silver and gold?

 

[Diggaz TC]

If the 2013 Premierships card is just the one Roosters card mirroring last years set then I hope it's only one per case...or less

 

[Brendan_B]

Looks to be a good release with plenty of value for money. I can't wait to buy a couple of boxes.

 

[tak35bne]

Oh. Thought they were still $2.99. My error. Carry on.

I don't think there has been a price change at all. 2013 Traders were $3.99 a packet last year.

Yes, you are right.

Price is the same as 2013 Traders. Twas my mistake.

 

[nznrl]

Looks like they nailed it for a early season release. Plenty of inserts, etc. price of boxes (for those of us who don't have access to places that sell loose packets) will hurt a bit, but not so much if they have value in them.

The commons have another daily telegraph type design, but are better than the very dreary commons they have released so far.

I wonder if there will now be a case hit with the two extra sig cards to go with the Legends. Love the look of the Lewis sig card.

The only downer for me at this stage is that I will have to revise my usual plan to get an IP on every card .

Well done ESP, however the mid-season release is the one that will matter to me the most

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I'm a commons whore and a commons hoarder. Just get them out...now...ARGH!!!
