The Official 2017 ESP/TLA NRL TRADERS thread. (Some new signing images added)

Just a few quick questions based on release numbers, hopefully someone can help.

I am assuming that this is is an 1800 case release (21, 600 boxes) and I base this on the SAS authentic signatures being 1 per case.

How come there are only 325 case cards? This equates to only 650 cases.

Obviously a portion of the stock goes to album and starter packs. I cannot recall specifically but was there 2000 albums and 1100 starter packs last year? This would account for 7300 packets about 600 cases.

So this leaves 550 cases without a case card or is there another surprise we are not aware of yet? Alternately is it just the dealer cases that have case cards?

I really hope that the cases aren't stacked like they obviously were last year, I feel this really affects the overall market value in a negative manner.

Case Cards don't go into the Cases which are split up for the Newsagents.

 

[Brendan_B]

Thanks for clarifying.

 

[Sharky]

looking forwards to grabbing a few of these, traders I like to pick up random packs where they sell them ,

With regards to the predictor cards, I feel, if the redemption for non premiership teams had a "Magic Moment" for each of the 15 other teams it would be very collectable. As the moment would be from the 2017 Year and related to the team you had. Also makes for a great card in each team. Looking at the Traders 2014 - "2013 Magic Moments" style but the year of the predictor. I'm pretty sure anyone who wins the comp would see that as the Magic Moment for them..

Agreed. For a premiership / team based predictor set to really work then there needs to be an option to redeem something for each club and a bonus for the premiers. If not the other 15 teams become glorified team logo cards.

 

[bigrob2307]

at least theyve got 6 or so months to get it sorted if that wasnt the plan to start with...

What would you want it to redeem for the non premier teams if you could choose?
I use to really like the top try scorers. Would also be happy with a beat moment card.

I'd be happy with anything Top Try Scorer cards were good it could really be anything, there just needs to be a redemption for every Predictor if you complete the 16 card set.

I like the Magic Moment idea it allows for plenty of scope to create a card.

Maybe the magic moment concept could be voted upon by collectors?

Register as a fan of the Raiders (example) by a certain date, ESP provide multiple options and the highest vote is onto a redeemable predictor card.

Really gets the collectors involved and some new and innovative

I like it perhaps the code on the Predictor itself gives you access to voting rights.

Imagine if no one registered their St George card and my vote for "Oust Doust" card as a Dragons moment gets over the line.

Picture of you chasing Doust out of WIN with a baseball bat?

Enough Dragons supporters on Here to pick him up throw him off the nearest cliff.
Do a card like the Hayne welcome home card in reverse

Deliberately misinterpreted your words here... but thinking that there'd be a few that would happily fork out for a F**k Off Hayne card.

Don't worry, I'm sure he'll have another dream soon.

I'd love for the Broncos to feature an Alfie Langer card this series, he's still out the full 80mins every game!

The Trainers do seem to be an extension of the team these days... Broncos: Langer; Roosters: Matt King; Eels: Ronnie Palmer...

Forget the Startoon cards... you could have Trainertoons instead.

I have a dream of signing with a club that will win a premiership... oh wait someone already used that one....
