What we could expect for 2019 releases

[drama5]

premiership predictors to replace blacks and platinums or new 1:6 box hit. Thats my guess!!

 

[ElijahCraigHyde]

Not another burst with the player's Guernsey number behind illustration instead of generic Guernsey or club logo LoL

 

[Brandboy20]

Really there been doing starbursts since 2013/14 they just changed the name from firepower

 

[Marz102]

Footy Stars case cards are Ben Hart and Shannon Grant.

Looks like Tye Dye Starbursts replacing the blacks as the 1:36

How many versions of starbursts is it for this year?

Select is starting to give Panini Prizm a run for their money with the numbers of Starburst variations!

 

[Marz102]

How many versions of starbursts is it for this year?

Three, same as last year:

club colours - packs
tie dye - packs, potentially box hit
club logo - value pack exclusive

Im sure there are a couple more on the way.......i'll wait for the Christmas version again I think.

They were sensational!

If the suspected ratios so far are correct the tie dye should be a box hit, and unless they’ve dropped the total number of cases /600.

 

[drama5]

Hmmmmm so pretty much the exacy release as last year!!!

 

[ElijahCraigHyde]

Let's hope premiership predictors will relieve some scepticism lol and pretty sure platinum Brownlow predictor the only thing left but perhaps a fourth burst comprising two checklist cards per club (one 16/17 and the other 18/19) numbers to 50 LoL

Ratio wise absolutely.

Looking back last year was probably Select’s best series one set in terms of value so I’m not surprised they went with a if it’s not broke don’t fix it mindset.

The true test for Select this year is series two. I’m not entirely sure they got it right with Legacy.

 

[drama5]

Fair point but with all the talk of select getting creative i was hoping for somethong new. I mean i will buy and not devestated but just something a bit unique would have been nice.

 

[jimmy_]

I think there will be a lot of initial disappointment that the alternative box hit to a black starburst is well another starburst variation and not something new.

 

[drama5]

Wasnt so much that but just wanted something new and unique. But touch wood series 2

 

[BLOWN8]

Surprise everyone, it’s another starburst lol. And just like last year it’s another numbered version. Let’s hope there is still a nice new innovative and creative surprise to come because right now it’s looking way too similar to last years.

I don't know what the hold up is in all honesty: I know it seems that select want to surprise the punters but IMO miss the old system of revealing the breakdown in the advertisement in the preseason record. As FAIC select failed to surprise me in legacy

I hate it too but it's all to do with stopping pre sales on eBay and similar. I feel it's wrong to ask people for a pre order and to expect those people to pay when they don't even know what they are buying until the last minute and by then it's too late.

Ah ha! Now I get it: thanks, as that's a exceptionally top call you are raising. On that note at least we can say that there are finally good cards about in recent times that are really starting to hold value, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find a seller who'll let a certified back end Guernsey card out of their PC for less than $65, the top end variant for less than $200 (in spite a gold coast or GWS one) and a Gazza dad and kid sig for less than $1k

It doesn't stop the pre sales though, one seller on ebay in particular who sells large quantities and often sets the prices low soon after release. Surely Select know this?
The previews are a bit of an anticlimax with the release much the same again assuming the last reveal will be a platinum brownlow. The guy on Select youtube said something about the starburst numbering being lower than anything in a footy stars pack before. I guess he meant less than the black starburst rather than less than a platinum.
