Time to boycott Select...

[crows2010]

they can't be too bad this is what somebody wrote about them quote:
Select Australia

Select Australia Pty Limited (Select) is a well established producer of quality collector cards, based in Sydney's northern suburbs. The company's origins started in 1983 as a magazine distributor and turned to collector card production from 1993.

Select's philosophy has been to utilise its highly experienced staff to concentrate on a small number of quality sporting licenses. Licenses are currently held from the AFL and NRL.

Select is without doubt the leading Australian manufacturer of collectable football cards in Australia and enjoys a strong reputation for quality designs, quality printing, unique inserts and reasonable prices.

Would hardly say those feelings are the same amongst the every day collector.

Mate, they are horrible.

The new Ashes set should have come packaged with a replica urn so that you can burn the cards and then 'complete' the set by putting them in the urn!

 

[Richo]

A VERY disappointing release (for the cost).

Correct - it is a $300 set doing an award-winning impersonation of one that should sell for $29.95...

Would you have to send it to Select to be Redeemed?

LOL, they would probably scratch the urn or forget to torch the cards

 

[Billyhoyle]

They just posted on Facebook an apology for the website glitch and are trying to get it fixed

Doh! I just posted my Rodney Hogg redemption off.......I should have waited lol

I enclosed a note and a card holder so it will be interesting to see how I get my cards back.

 

[Richo]

Well i only sent one Top Loader in (to protect the redemption card) and I got it AND the Signature Card back in penny sleeves, top loaders and the Select plastic card holder.

All good from my end (as usual I might add).

 

[crg0084]

Oh ok well I must have made it all up then.
You probably got my friggin top loaders... Absolute bs

 

[adam456]

I have sent them so many e-mails, regarding prestige boxes with no DPS, and recently a Joel Corey figurine with Cam Mooney's number on the back...

Think I've received an e-mail back? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Well they've obviously got plenty of time in there at the moment to do things properly....no cricket sets to box up and send out because noone wants one!

Good one!!!

I really hope they mark the price down because other than the price and the fact we lost I really like them. Maybe $20 or something...

I have two email replies from Select (Di) even telling me when she picked up my redemption and when she sent it.

I don't disbelive your bad experiences mate.....just letting people know I about my good experiences
