Select Optimum 2021

[banana]

Did anyone notice some of the big names are missing from the common sets such as dusty ect. Do you think this was a move from select to get more of the less common players on
cards?

Series 2 has always had the lesser names in the base set. Big names go in the champions/footy stars base set. They should all be different from footy stars to series 2.

Happy with that. more of the pc team to collect

Hope they're coming from the south east of Melbs.

That usually comes next day

Unless you live 600km away

might I also add that first time in memory you cannot get a complete set of common coards from one box and that for me is anohter reason why SCC members should get an extra box when such a situaton occurs. Further if there were say 8400 boxes and 8400 SCC members each getting one box then I don't care if general public got none - join up to be an SCC member - the concept is a good idea but there are still "first year" issues to resolve

I am a fan of no complete base sets.

Makes base cards actually worth something

I will buy all those at that price

Maybe, but that is likely where some of the cheaper ones will settle. Certified 460's are $1 each, so his estimate on a 455 card would be close. Probably a little low on the 110 ones (maybe $20-$25 each), Headliners and Specialists are similar ratios to Clearance kings/Brownlow vote getters/Brownlow leaders. The gold and Bronze prices are likely low - probably $40 for a bronze and $100ish for a Gold. $150 for a platinum?

I think the Optimum + is effectively now the common set for bigger named players. I like this idea....

Exactly my thinking when i priced mine.

Junk Platinums will be 30-50 imo

It's not like people tried to get SCC and missed out, It's a worth while discussion if the membership is worth it.

I had to pay for postage on my SCC purchase, postage on my two boxes through the public lot and postage for the album. Complete mess.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here, sorry?

"It's not like people tried to get SCC and missed out, It's a worth while discussion if the membership is worth it."

To me, that reads that the memberships were not sold out so people had the chance to get one with ease (which they easily did have the time to do so).

It guarantees a box. I see nothing wrong with that.

What's the problem? Postage?

 

[jimboner]

I'm fine with the SCC membership. I would renew again.

I feel like it was pretty clear you were paying for guaranteed access to a box for all releases (with some trinkets thrown in). If the value is not there people won't renew next year, but I suspect the vast majority will.

Chalk up another win for the Greater Fool Theory.

Exactly right.

People knew what they were purchasing, went ahead with it and now complain that what they get in that membership isn't enough.

Rather simple solution really, don't bloody buy it in the first place lol.

Only 800 of the 1000 spots sold and yes the problem is postage it's what I mentioned right? I'm not sure why someone who didn't buy SCC has a right to complain about people debating it's value.

I'm on the fence if I'll get it next year, if the vast majority aren't 100% on continuing their membership don't you think it's value should be discussed ?

I am 100% going to renew, if possible!

I think the tears will be worse as the releases hit the higher end, and SCC will keep those people in...all IMO

100% agree, I don’t really understand how the SCC could be seen as bad value. Especially when everyone is having a meltdown at not getting a box.

I’d like to see them allow you to buy an album in the same order as your SCC box though to save you on paying postage for a whole new order.

The hat is also a gimmick and should be replaced with accessories of some sort.

I'd prefer a starter kit of like some top loaders, one touches and sleeves etc
