It's also nice to see team logo cards next year

4) Would ESP consider expanding the Traders base set to 18 players per team (including a team logo card) to allow more players to be included in the release?

Increasing the set size would alter the ratios, therefore decreasing the value proposition. For now, we won’t be doing that but will be including a team logo card in 2015.

What the hell does this even mean?!

Don't think they even answered any of my questions, lame.

I think it means (not 100% sure) that they would have to make more product so the insert cards would be spread a lot thinner. I don't have numbers but if they currently make enough base cards for 100,000 sets then to continue to make base cards for 100,000 sets at a larger set size would result in insert cards that were 1 per box being 1 per 1.5 boxes etc.

Or

In traders this year from 1 box two base sets could be made. Increase the base set size 1 box makes 1.75 sets depending on the increase.

Its great to get a direct response but seriously we waited 2 months for these answers that would have taken less time than making coffee to churn out.

Also it does appear to me that they cherry picked the questions they wanted / could answer and ignore all those harder potentially negative topics.

Love the fact Team cards are making a return.

A bigger base set with the same size production run would probably improve the value proposition - a base set may actually be worth something...

Totally agree....would make parallels more limited and base cards more limited....adding more value and potentially more sales trying to track down the cards you need.

14) Is there any reason why ESP didn’t serial number the World Cup parallel cards like the Elite signature cards?

No, no reason.

Not much of a response

However, my actual question was "Why are limited release inserts (say WCHP limited to 80) not individually serial stamped like signature cards are?"
which, if asked, would have avoided a response like the one given and provided a bit more information to collectors.

That said, good on ESP for providing this opportunity for a few questions.

I have certainly given my feedback directly to ESP regarding this issue and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one. It was acknowledged and received well so I am hopeful that we won't see short print runs without serial stamping in next years release.
