Brendan_B Elite breaks

[Brendan_B]

Picked up my case from Warren earlier today (thanks mate, great service as usual).

I have heard the collation of the numbered hits seems a bit all over the place and I can confirm this somewhat with my break. The results of numbered hits are below. No major hit for me but beat the odds elsewhere.

At this stage, only looking to trade numbered hits for Raiders equivalents.

First impressions are that there are some nice cards, particularly lower end. The signature quality on the LS /90 seems poor with different thickness in pens and some players just not signing well although that is probably beyond TLA's control.

Any dud boxes or boxes with just a ruby?

No. Worst was a ruby & sapphire.

3 of the 4 boxes that had blacks also had a Ruby and sapphire.

It's a worry there no major hits.

Given the production numbers all cases should have at least one hit.

It is a concern but at least with the two extra blacks in mine I wasn’t shortchanged.

Consider yourself lucky, I just heard of a case broken with no major hit and absolutely no LS or YG Blacks. This would have to be the worst collation effort since 2014.

Some of the cards I love, really like the commons, parallels and Dally M's

Mate you are on fire this year!

 

[Brendan_B]

After being unable to find any Elite down South I ventured into my two local newsagents and both were sold out!

I found four packets in a box at an IGA, bought those for a Fonua-Blake Ruby.

Further afield I found a nearly full box and grabbed ten packets;

Surgess Ruby #13 (on hold)
Taukeiaho Sapphire #10
Bulldogs Black Diamond Mojo #04

The run continues!

Dead set Unbelievable. Worth my while to fly to Brisbane just to get you to buy some packs for me!

 

[Brendan_B]

Good run so far. Will have to quit while I am ahead!

 

[Brendan_B]

Just had my first rubyless box.

Good thing it contained a Hiku Black LS and Guerra jersey redemption!

The collation is certainly all over the place in this release, very lucky it is falling my way so far!

Elite boxes are getting harder to find in my area, must be selling well.

 

[holycheif]

Yeah not many left around brissy that I can find

 

[Brendan_B]

10 loose packets from a Newsagent that has always brought me good luck...good assortment of parallels and speed machines but only a solitary hit, Shannon Boyd ruby.

I was thinking my run is over...

Decided on more box I spied at another local newsagent last week. Was still on the shelf this morning (I even got a discount, $167), great box!

Luke Brooks Mojo Ruby #13
Eels Checklist Mojo Sapphire #04

and hiding in the very last packet... Jake Trbojevic Spotlight Signature redemption #13/40 Jersey Number!!!!

No. I haven't bought any Elite from him this year, went in once but he was sold out and waiting for more cases. This was from Springwood Mall.
