2024 Elite NRL Official Thread

seeing a LOT of heat coming out of these USA boxes... #1 autos, jersey # mojos, cleary duos... could be a nightmare chasing LSTs/black diamonds knowing there's a chance theyre in a USA case that might not even get sold or opened

Probably part of the reason im having a difficult time trying to complete my Panthers set, especially the mojos, it seems theres an abundance of every other team and hardly any Panthers ones, and what Panthers mojos do appear tend to go for 50% more than the others, is this the new normal?

A lot of stuff is coming out in pick your team type breaks rather than "bedroom breakers" and dealer stock - given Penrith's elevated price on popularity plus having the duo/patch hits in the set it's mostly Panthers collectors looking to fill out the PC buying these spots and the cards go straight from the boxes into collections.
 
The downside of success I guess.

How is everyone going so far with their collections? Getting close to finished? Struggling? Found that one card you absolutely wanted?
 
Good old Oz post. In 2019 I sent a card to Florida, US. The card went to some forsaken place in outback WA. I only found this out after 10 days when I went up to the post office to enquire why there was no tracking.

The card eventually made it's way back to Perth and then to Florida. Buyer received it 2 months after purchasing it. Very patient individual.

The other bad one was a submission which I sent to PSA and was back in my letter box 4 days later. They mistook my address as the destination.
 
Yeah, mine has a message to the effect of 'sent to wrong place'. This was last week sometime and it still hasn't left WA as far as I can tell. Auspost is useless.

I think most places are fairly depleted of stock, I cant find anywhere that stocks a case, and only a couple of sellers still with boxes.

Is there a 'second wave' with these releases now or was everything shipped out on day one?

No second wave like when Steve distributed Select.

Including the USA stock, which is slowly becoming more available, there are 760 cases.

I am sure there are still a stack of cases with someone, likely TLA so that can keep the NRL ship stocked.

The other aspect to consider is that many sellers who also do breaks, keep cases for that purpose as a case break is more profitable.

I'm sure there was never any listed on the site. Maybe all stock he got went into breaks and presales ?
It is getting tougher to get stock. Will be interesting to see the wash up with the US venture
and what happens next year. Traders out same time LV games on.

I caught a post from Gold Coast TC the other day regarding damaged stock. Essentially, GCTC were given approval to list some single boxes from damaged cases. No doubt these boxes are not damaged but it would be interesting to know how many cases / boxes are not available due to this.

I wonder if there will ever be a limit on how many boxes / cases a customer can purchase? Select do this with high end AFL, more so to stop the flipper’s listing for double on eBay.

I am aware of individual collectors getting 5-6 cases each, I personally think that is greedy as it prevents local retailers and hobby stores getting stock. Finding packets of Elite is very difficult and I always enjoyed being able to grab a few packets from a newsagent or hobby shop.

More than recent years? I've also noticed a lot of interest in this one but not sure if that is generally the case or if this one is different.

It's definitely a great set IMO, I love the designs of the Mojo cards and the Young Guns as well.

The number of breakers have increased over the past few years with easy money to be made from a break which in turn is reducing the number of inserts available for particular teams ...
 
Bought another box - all 3 mojos Brisbane... what are the odds?
Mam 20/50
Broughton 2/64
Cobbo 1/10

had a YG black, YG white and gold reflection so ended up having 6 hits as well.
