If they're going to make separate dealer/newsagent cases:

Leave ruby/sapphire/emerald in dealer cases

Bronze (#/100), silver (#/50), gold (#/25) in newsagent cases

I would like the league sensation,s and young gun auto,s to be numbered less than 130.Maybe numbered to 100 or less.So they hold there value,like the traders auto,s.And please get rid of the sticker auto,s.

Elite signatures will never hold value like the Traders because there is too may signatures coming out at once ....7 or 8 signatures per case with Elite and 1 per case with Traders ....When the Elite signatures are busted from cases they are dumped at low prices to turn a quick $$$$ ....

Why should the collector that opens packets from Newsagent be punished by not buying from a dealer ????

Agreed, which is why I think they need to be reduced to 50 copies per signature for Elite......make them hold some value and have them fall 2-3 per case.

Traders at 100 copies is good and these are still holding value as they all dont get dumped at the one time.

I don't think they should. But last year it seemed like a lot of hits, especially the sapphire and emerald mojos, were stacked in dealer cases. So if they're going to do that again they should at least give SOME incentive to newsagent buyers

Nope I dont.

 

[saintsforever]

What am I expecting to see? My bank account reduce significantly.....

Despite rumours that are circulating, I don't expect there to be a Knights Road to the Finals card.....this year.

Damm not again.

Lol....Craig who?

At least the d i c k is making my collection more valuable by bidding the 36 cards up, he still can't see that part of it.
Hope your still watching these posts CHILD.

I agree it is petty that anyone would do this but in reality Dave I'm not sure how paying overs for a #36 because you have been bid up increases your collection value.

just makes me think it is worth more, we all have dreams.

Rest assured, like most of us on here, if I find one or bust one its yours.

Whatever happens TLA will try and listen to come of use at least with improvements of the variants and concepts yet again from last year - in other words 18 Elite to be the best release to come (I think!!!)

The only parallel I like:

 

[Croz]

The thing with the mojo sets is that im not a completist NRL collector so I don't HAVE to buy every card made for my team.

I would love some single cards from the past Mojo sets, but I am not going to shell out hundreds of dollars for team sets where half of the players no longer play for the team.

I could see the Mojos in 2018 being:

Red #/40 1:24 (10 Per Case)
Sapphires #/20 1:48 (5 Per Case)
Emeralds #/10 1:96 (2.5 Per Case)

Based on 640 cases (630 currently) and 10 boxes a case.

Then make League Sensations #/50 and Young Guns #/50 (both to retain value) and have them (32 all up) falling 1:96

20 "hits" per case 2-3 x signatures #/50, 2-3 x Emeralds #/10, 5 x Sapphires #/20 and 10 x Rubies #/40.

Would reward single box breakers and also case breakers and the secondary market would go crazy with people trading for the single cards they need.

Cheers
Matt

That would give you close to 20 hits across a case across all teams.

Love this idea Matt !

I noticed that topps baseball has some parellels numbered. But these are in the 1000s

Though I like the idea of a printing plate 1/1 also

Any idea on a release date for Elite? @Diggaz TC or @Matt26 have you heard anything yet?
