Select Optimum 2021

[Theia]

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

I'd settle for free postage with any SCC order maybe double star points. I don't care for "free items".

HI There,

This is my first time posting so please be nice. I am just a hobby collector who only buys one box per year. Personally I think the membership is well worth it as at least it entitles you to a guaranteed box. If I wasn’t lucky enough to get a box on Saturday then I would be paying at least $700. So theoretically I would be at least $200 in front if I had to purchase from eBay. i feel disappointed in the fact that I don’t get the full set of common cards yet I am paying the same price as last year, getting less cards and also no guarantee of getting value for my money

This would be awesome too.

Free postage for all SCC purchases would be great. Hell any SCC purchase on the site should at least get a discount

Free postage for all would be brilliant, though Select would lose more in covering the postage over a year than they bring in from SCC fees.

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

I didn't get one, and regret it. If for nothing else but Supremacy 2. It will be worth it when that gets released...

Actually, you are more likely to get value for money. Basically every box has 2 signature cards, 2 cards numbered under 100 and a 93% chance of another rare hit. It's the best value they've ever had IMO

Here’s hoping you are right

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 ?

Of course the value should be discussed, it's what I've mentioned two or three times now in agreeance with what it offers for $100.

In regards to someone who doesn't have an SCC membership discussing it, why can't they? I don't own a Mercedes, am I not allowed to comment on its production? Come on now.

But people won't see that the avg box pulls $200 of value, they'll see that 1:10 or 1:20 or whatever it is pulls a $1k Influential, Dusty medal winner or dual sig, and that will keep the values high.

Brilliance boxes still sell for $700-800 and realistically there's only a handful of Brilliance cards that would sell for more than that. The vast majority of Brilliance singles including Crows, Lions, Swans, Demons, GWS, GC, St Kilda, Fremantle, NM etc are worth nowhere near $700-800 but people will always take the gamble that they can win big.

My reasoning why it will settle at 600. Yes the brilliance sell for 750 but they have multiple 1000 dollar cards in the set and worst case scenerio is a 200 card. The average value is about 500.

I just dont see how breakers would warrant 1000 a box as to profit it would just make breaks to expensive for peopke to warrant.

And breakers are the sole determinant of box prices. As i said if some big rookies become stars then maybe but otherwise the risk of paying 70 odd dollars for one box break is not realistic

Totally agree with this.

I agree, I am totally happy with my SCC purchase, definitely think it was worth while.

Dominance sold for $550, this has significantly more value than the last two series 2 releases, I also doubt breakers are the major reason.

Quick look has per box
Optimum #455 x12 x$10 =120
Optimum parallel #115 x3 x$30 =$90
Specialist #80 x1 x$60
Headliners #95 x1 x$50
DPS copper 1 #170 x1 x$30

Plus each box should have either an extra dps cop or a gold or platinum so without even adding the extra hit or even 1of the bigger hits plus my prices are conservative that’s $350 without the extra hit and that doesn’t take into account players, low numbers, teams, I can’t see how you could lose money on a box even if you paid $500 IMO
So to get a box with a value of $200 it would need to be some sort of Gold Coast suns hot box

Will update you once I open said Gold Coast hot box!

this is why I beleive that SCC members should have been allocated 2 boxed this time so tye could at least complete a set of commons - further I remain convnced that SCC members needs enhancing - no gimmicks like ball caps such cards and accessories

last time I checked we live in a democracy so your opinion is as valuble as the next (with the lcokdowns and the health bureaucrats we could be fogvien we live in east Germany!)

Thread going a wee bit off topic. I'm all for a new thread on Select and how they should run their SCC and future releases.
I'm excited to see this thread in mid-September when the product land in the hands of this membership.

Select website saying it's now all Sold Out!

anu specifics? Further comment on SCC memberhsip - I belong to a number of organisations that offer membership - those that offer generic memberhsips are average but others offer deals based on your membership level eg starting at gold then ruby, emerald and finally platinum baed on on your usage and dollars - and above platinium you become Elite - I am one on 2 orgs and the deals one os offered at elite level can be amazing - that is one idea Select could consider - one hting is sure the current way of making available optimum and other high releases have concerns that must be addressed.

I am not a fan of spend membership, due to the fact I don't spend much and too open to abuse
