well, I too would love the nbl to get back onto cards.
with the nbl being as it is, on the verge of nothing, it supprises me
that the nbl haven't pushed for a card set themselves, cards play a big
part in promoting the sport and it's players, gets kids interested ect.
I reckon the licence for nbl cards could be got for free at the moment as anyone willing
to put up money to produce an nbl set would be struggling enough to pay the printers
let alone some licensing fee, so yeah it would be great but won't happen.
I reckon it's in response to topps, we are talking of a company that could swallow select in one gulp so I reckon select are looking to put a dampener on topps's afl chipz
before topps gets too excited with afl and start pushing for the licence, they may not get it but they will certainly increase the value of it, select are sitting ducks so I think
they are going with a chip/tazo product themselves and doing away with the stickers.
