Who's brettdeledio3 on Ebay ?? Seems to have had alot more then five boxes

You surprised? lol

 

[Iron Clad Lou]

Really? I only saw about 4 or so boxes and would have been stoked with any of them had I busted them. Guess in the next few days when people start getting theirs we'll see a better overview.

1 in 4 seem to be decent.

From the cherry case break seemed like only 1-2 a case are duds

 

[Iron Clad Lou]

Yep. My box:

Optimum #455 x12 x$3 =$36
Optimum parallel #115 x3 x$10 =$30
Specialist #80 x1 x$25
Headliners #95 x1 x$30
DPS copper 1 #170 x1 x$20
DPS Gold 1 #85 x1 x$35

Updated my prediction for where i think the values will lie:

Optimum #455 x12 x$3 =$36
Optimum parallel #115 x3 x$10 =$30
Specialist #80 x1 x$85
Headliners #95 x1 x$65
DPS copper 1 #170 x1 x$30
DPS Gold 1 #85 x1 x$65

Fortunately 6 packets in and pulled a Jy Simpkin Gold Headliner #06 . Fantastic start

Gratz, I feel a fever coming on be a shame if I had to return home

wow..now that's just wrong.

 

[Iron Clad Lou]

Why?

I think it's good. Value those commons a bit

 

[Connor-Pain]

Is anyone selling any boxes? Would love to grab one or two to open

Sadly I think you are right here mate.

This is the first sign that AFL commons will have value like NBA ones do.

Everything people were pushing for in terms of making this hobby more expensive is happening as we see Select following the module of Panini (as well as ripping off their designs too funnily enough).

Not great for the collector, excellent for the flipper.

I like that ppl might actually have to trade for commons to make a set, 90s nostalgia.

Hell yes! Straight back to the old days of collecting cards where people just loved getting their favourite players, teams and the cool designs.

Thankfully I never changed!

 

[BLOWN8]

My tracking still says IN TRANSIT, but they were delivered about an hour ago. Weird. I'll be busting 2 boxes tonight and saving one.

Out of my 4 box's Im 3 cards short of a St Kilda team set of commons

 

[BJD]

Some of the photos they have used for these players are very questionable. Almost like they literally did not care what went on the card.

Shame really.

Funny you say that as I was having this discussion yesterday. The big card for me as a Hawks collector is obviously the Worpel/Mitchell signature. But after seeing the image they used of Worpel it’s taken a little of the shine away. I’m a very fussy person, and for me the image they use can seriously make or break a card. So disappointed when I saw the Hawks redemption card. Haven’t really taken much notice of the others yet.

For me, the design is everything. Could not care any less about numbers, thickness, whatever. I just want cool designs and photos of players that don't look like they are asleep or awkward. Baffles me mate.
