2011 Gillette Four Nations Final card set [37]

[Bulldogss]

Hi guys,I just wanted an opinion on these cards.
Every time i come across them on ebay they are getting bid by a private bidder and no one else?
Has anyone got these cards and what do you think of them?
Cheers
Peter

i bought a set of them in 09? and they were all different sizes and the finish quality was ordinary at best, i think (my opinion) he is making these himself and selling them of here and because he is supposedly in the UK it is hard to authenticate

I have wondered the same thing Peter. I have bought a set but i did just contact Kurri Bulldogs direct to buy them.

As you say Dave - they are definitely home made cards and printed in the UK

I also have a couple of different sets and I would not waste any more money on them, as said above odd sizes, don't fit into premium sleeves or pages, definately home made IMHO.

^^Tak's right. They are definitely home made. He has them printed up by a promotional products company called "Probiz". The photos used are terrible but i just cant shake the collecting bug.

Why do you think the bidders are always hidden on this item when bidding?

 

[ooneil]

My only guess is on the UK ebay website your identity is hidden due to privacy. Maybe its because he is logging in under a UK username?

 

[Bulldogss]

That makes sense

I have bidded on a few to see what they are like before i buy a set. But if you guys are saying the above i will just stick to what i get.

 

[ooneil]

I should have my set arrive pretty soon. I will post the results.

Got my sets in the mail today. I must say all the photos are nice a crisp and the cards are a little smaller and easily fit into ultra pro pages.

The first set is the Four Nations Set and the second set is the limited edition version.
