Just my opinion but I think it's pretty poor. Nothing like building excitement like showing us a pick of the cards 2-3 weeks before release. We don't have to see the checklist, just one of the Footy's Finest, or show us a patch card. That way it starts conversation and the excitement can start to build. I understand you guys are saying they are doing it to stop pre sales, but really, collectors are missing out. Why punish everyone because of a few, maybe Select should tell sellers trying to pre sell if they keep it up their cases will be delayed. There are ways around these things. A bit of communication from Select to the collectors would be nice.

I reckon at this stage of the game Select must have a good reason for doing what they are doing - however frustrating it may be for all of us. I think they have improved immeasurably over the last two or so years regarding promotions, products and feedback so it would be unlikely that the delay or lack of previews would be due to a "can't be stuffed" kind of attitude.
Anyway, we're almost halfway through July....so the first week of August ain't far away

Agree they have been doing a good job, only criticism I have is they keep blocking people from there Facebook page for having an opinion about the hilites cards need to have thicker skin imo, I got blocked for simply saying that I felt they missed an opportunity not putting an indigenous player on a hilites card during indigenous round, if they took offense too that then they are very softI reckon at this stage of the game Select must have a good reason for doing what they are doing - however frustrating it may be for all of us.

75% sure Heath Shaw will be the other non-patch-240 signature - turns out there will not be any additional front-end cards besides the corresponding MW patches and Finest

Absolutely positive. Glad I at least know 1 of the 2. 3 weeks to go to find out the other 1.

I'm not saying it's an earlier release. It was always due end of July early August as far as I know. What was last years release date ? Redemption's couldn't be redeemed before 31.07.16. Which is still 2 weeks away. Everybody is saying it is because the Essendon player hadn't/wouldn't sign ? Which player was it ? Or is it simply because select have had enough of people pre selling there product ?
When I spoke to select 2 weeks ago they were finalizing packaging, you take from that what you want. But finalizing to me means finished & ready to ship from China !
The people I get my cards from said & I quote "we will have your cards to you by the end of the month" If there wrong it will be a 1st.
