Not sure but they are dearer now.............redtorana will be able to give you a comparison on what the retail price was in 2008 and what it is now. You would think they would get cheaper, but no, its not how it works unfortunately.
I suppose in answer to your question, is it still worth getting, personally I think yes, it was a nice base set with a lot of history. Secondly can you still redeem the redemption cards, of course you can redeem all redemption cards from Select, and lastly, are there many Parradoesn'tmatta players; like each club there are the 5 elite players, team logo, holofoil team logo and representative players in the 'Past Heroes' subset, TOTC and FS subsets also. Email Select and ask them to send you a dealer sell sheet and promo's, this will give you a complete breakdown of all cards in the release.
best set produced by select ever i sold off every single nrl card i had in a chase for these. i recommend buying a case to anyone even maybe buying it now an dont busting it kind of a waste of the redemption though.
yeah it was Dansnrlcollectables I am still waiting on my box of 08's 2 weeks later he had to reorder some from Melbourne,was sent out Monday,hoping it gets here tomorrow as I paid for express post when I purchased it.
