Whys it an issue for you if you aint going to buy the product???

If you were buying the product and didn't like parallels that would be a different matter.

I would be buying the product. Just not until I get a steady income.

 

[Sharky]

I Wouldn't mind a Jillaroos Signature or dual/triple signature Allana Ferguson, Ruan Sims, Maddie Studdon etc, they really to deserve the coverage!

 

[Delta]

I might considering collecting the series should the sell sheet line up be something like this:

Commons as ususal followed by following insets:

Into Action (same number as commons); 1:2 packs

Facts & Stats; 1:4 packs

Faces of the Game (all new players); 1:4 packs

Charactertures (1:9 packs)

Fire Meet Gasoline (32 - 2 per club; 1:18 packs)

Dally M Predictors + Automatic Signature redemptions (for eventual non-PY DM awards) (150); 1:36 packs

Retirees (New Look!); 1:72 packs

SAS Series
Gold foil pre-print 500 per design
Platinum (silver-black colour) foil pre-print 250 per design
Literal signatures #IN /100

Dynamic Duo /100
Slater/Smith, Cam
Leilua & Rapana

Legends /208
Tallis?
Fittler?

Jillaroos Mojo pack 1:3456 packs

I dont think Fittler's signature will fit in the space allocated for the card. Think the legends cards are a very good set so far, would like to see some older players from the 60's

If they continue them on after this year?

I would love to see a Dynamic Duo of Holmes/Bird, do we really need another Smith/Slater card. Slater played one game last year. Plus we are the PREMIERS

I think that's a fair call

At least if it has smith on it From Melb make it Cronk

Can there be a bevan French sas signature card in this release much like the tom trbojevic and joe ofahengaue from 2016 traders??

 

[Brendan_B]

I heard the Dynamic Duos have a new and exciting twist this year

well that narrows it down. Lol

 

[Parrapaul]

well that narrows it down. Lol

Hope they do some parallel ones lol

 

[bigrob2307]

Really hope they keep up with the Legends sigs, just need the players to be Legends.

Dynamic Duo sigs @Brendan_B

 

[sharkiefan0102]

I would love to see dynamic duo sigs - Holmes/bird would be awesome

 

[Missing Hinges]

Legends Dynamic Duo Dual Sig /10

Im hoping this release to be not too painful paypal wise for the eels, will be interesting to see what they look towards doing with the Elite in 2017.

That is my concern also. I love all the extra Raiders cards that I have been able to add in the ESP era but knowing that there will likely be 2 or 3 levels of Mojo's in Elite and jersey sigs makes me worry. The volume of cards being produced is huge and certainly impacts the long term value but I will never sell my PC

Guess it helps me that I'm only PCing one thing which makes it more affordable

You have the centenary stuff as well on the side

 

[Battingticks84]

Is there a release date for the 2017 Traders yet?

 

[Parrapaul]

Last years were out late February, just before round 1 of the nrl season

 

[Rocket1908]

Last years were out late February, just before round 1 of the nrl season

Were they officially available then for retail or was it a pre-release? I remember a lot of stores not getting theirs until after the release date.
I know 2015 Traders were given a prerelease event about a full month before they were out or available again.

 

[hobo]

The Legends signature has to stay. I like the consistency of sub sets like Legends and Retirements, the chopping and changing and "adding value" that occurs every year to every release I find frustrating.

 

[Brendan_B]

Legends are easily the best set ESP have done but I have heard this might be the last year for them. The rumored legends for 17 were certainly great players but not on the level of the previous 8
