So I am assuming it is the same 10 cards in each set? [I've emailed the mint to clarify this].

Hopefully its not the same old players with the signature card.

Interesting looking set.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I'll let you all know what the cards are...if you can wait until Dec 25th.

 

[bigrob2307]

Cards that will be featured will include the Brownlow Medallist, Dally M winner, premiership sides, leading goal kicker, leading try scorer etc.

That gives a hint

I was thinking Santa might bring me one as well.

 

[Brendan_B]

I was sold as I soon as I saw the Toots card on top!

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Yeah...they had me at Jarrod Croker too.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Would love to able to go in to the city and score some of the NRL coins they're selling there too.

 

[Parrapaul]

If there is a Semi card in this set and someone buys it and wants to break it up let me know

Looks cool, but based on awards likely no Dragons cards, not sure if I'm happy or disappointed.

I may get a set to break up. If anyone was interested, PM. No guarantees I'll even do it at this stage, but if enough interest shown....maybe.

 

[Jaede]

If there is a Semi card in this set and someone buys it and wants to break it up let me know

Semi is one of the cards

10 cards per set, these would be my guesses;

Top try scorer - Croker
Top points scorer - Radradra
Dally M medallist - JT
Provan Summons medallist - JT
Ken Stephen medallist - Douglas
Coach of the year - Bennett
NYC player of the year - Hudson
Captain of the Year - JT
Rep Player of the Year - Parker
Rookie of the Year - Bird

You'd have to think they'd pop in a Clive Churchill Medalist if the sets aren't coming out until November. Not sure with it being a top line release they'd put a NYC card in. But who knows? Great guesses IMHO.

Who is making the cards too? Australian Mint / Aust Post should get in to bed together and make sets that are sold in Post Offices at a reasonable price.

Someone said this about this set too: brings in card collectors, coin collectors and stamp collectors as well as NRL/AFL collectors. Whoever thought it up and then whoever agreed to it...smart.

ESP and Select are involved so id assume they would be making the cards

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I assumed it was ESP as they hold the licence so makes sense.

Copied from Newcastle Cards...

To celebrate the year in review, ESP in conjunction with Select, Australia Post and the Royal Australian Mint will be producing two limited edition collector sets that commemorate the AFL and NRL’s year in review.

Titled ‘The Ultimate Collection’, this is the first time ever that Coin, Card and Stamp collectors will be able to purchase 1 product that targets all collector bases.

It will be the first time ever that a league branded stamp with a unique postmark will be produced world-wide.

There will be signature trading cards that are available for collection in both sets which will all be individually numbered along with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Royal Australian Mint.

Cards that will be featured will include the Brownlow Medallist, Dally M winner, premiership sides, leading goal kicker, leading try scorer etc.

10 'hot boxes' with the gold plated silver coin, signature card, colour printed silver coin and gold postmark in the one box!
