The purpose of this post is to see how far off I am in terms of guessing the coming FF series but let me know if anyone had heard anything dissimilar to all this:
Future Force 2015
Common cards - 112 - this time includes 4 checklists on top of 108 other cards like least year
All Australian - 22 as usual - you know the drill
Higher-end inserts:
Future Force Top Prospect (32); 1:18 packs or 1:Box
This new inset series is exactly the same format as the signature cards from previous FF series however without the signatures. Players to appear in their street-ware style AIS polo necks and with no depiction of their state representative clubs and the traditional signature panel to be replaced by a chunky "FUTURE FORCE TOP PROSPECT" foil stamped emblem.
-Printed on gloss blue board and individually numbered to 250.
Future Force Red Signature (24); 1:54 packs or 1:3 boxes
A newly improved version of the traditional red signature series. These cards are based on the Top Prospect series except that the cards to be printed in horizontal/landscape style unlike the FFTP cards that are vertical/portrait style. Although this will mean the last 8 payers from the Top Prospect series will not be included, 24 will make it easier for collectors to build than 32 and these red signature card would be higher end than the previous FFRS cards from the last two years anyway.
-Identical photos from FFTP printed on foil board comprising chunky metallic red and silver pannels, creating an eye-catching 'candy-bar' style patchwork. Foil divided by a fabric-like gloss panel for the players signature, and for the very first time, all players have signed cards in red ink, replacing the traditional black. Individually numbered to 125.
Future Force Green Signature (24); 1:162 packs or 1:9 boxes (or 2: factory-slab of 18x18 pack boxes)
Exactly the same as the red signature cards except that foil panels (not to mention ink of signatures) that are red on the red versions are instead metallic green and those that are silver on red version are instead gold, therefore creating an eye-catching 'wattle-forest' style patchwork. Green ink again returns like as last year (due to the potential smudging of gold ink) however the gold foil components of the card of course reflect the tradition of the upper-end signature cards from the original FF series. Individually numbered to 40.
