2014 ESP Elite info discussion thread (Flyer P22 - Checklist P41)

Cowboys I agree since their obvious standouts are still playing or recent retirees. Looking at the Warriors I thought they would have a decent few having made a GF over a decade ago. Stacey Jones is the only one though really - all the other great players they had achieved more elsewhere.

Gold Coast might have the best selection with King Wally, Brent Todd, Mat Rogers and Scott Prince.

Dale Shearer, Chris Close, Martin Bella....

WE HAVE OUR FIRST SIGNER!!!

Young Guns - James Tedesco!

So much for the Blue Pen.... LOL

 

[joeyhonson]

Has he been promoted to League Sensation? Was a Young Gun last year so assume they wouldn't use him again.

Says on Facebook:

James Tedesco in the office signing his 2014 Traders Elite Collection - Young Guns Cards

 

[joeyhonson]

Definitely a player of the future so I imagine there will be some pretty happy people out there. Strange that they would use the same player for the same card 2 years running though. Card itself looks pretty good with what I can make out. Pity I can't zoom in and have a closer look

 

[Matt26]

I have shared the image on the Ozcards Facebook Page where it is a little bit larger.

Looks like a logo on the front is foil along with the name.

 

[joeyhonson]

Ah yes, that's much better. This might sound a little silly but is that his jersey in the centre just above the sig block. It looks a little too straight on each side, like a rectangle. It also seems to stand out more in the light in a couple of the cards on the table. Maybe it's just the angle. Maybe I'm not seeing it right. Maybe they've put the silver sticker on the front and not the back? Maybe it's a section where they have placed a piece of game worn jersey????

Yeah it sure looks like a patch. Cards look thick enough too ... and would explain why the pile is ginormously high.

My guess is worn, but not game worn, and the pic (which doesn't look to be an action one) is of him wearing it.

I was ok with Teddy signing with the Raiders last week. Now that the Tigers Young Gun Signature is not going to be with the team next year.....it's time to renege teddy, renege!

Yep definetely a little rectangle. Patch would be awesome!!

There is also alot of cards there. just under 50 laid alone on the table, plus the already signed pile and then another even bigger pile.

Its definitely shiny and there are no colour variations so i wouldn't say its a jersey piece.. almost looks like a medal of sorts or just the logo on the card.

 

[Rocket1908]

I hope Johnston is South's Young Gun and our 2014 new signings get base set cards

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

Stockwell/JDB is my pick for the Dragons....

 

[Herepusspuss]

I'm excited....

True, the ones on the left you can see there's no change in texture where the path would go, and you'd expect a slight reduction in height.

 

[Dragon_Fire]

My Picks Adam Quinlan/Jack Bird
Looks to be 200+ cards in the 2 piles+ whats on the table
There is almost 50 spread out on the table

I'm not sold on it being a jersey patch. The space reflects too. Look at the card closest to the two top loaders. Or it's just a mainly white Tigers jersey, but I don't think they've worn one this year.

 

[bob]

150 of each

As far as I am aware, in relation to match worn/used items, there are not supposed to be any jersey cards.
