2011 Select Strike.

Sacha · May 18, 2011

100% gaurentee that the players are paid to sign the cards, some more then others, and this does effect who they choose to put on certain cards.
Also 100% gaurentee that select do visit the forums frequantly. They also monitor ebay to see what it going on....

hobo · May 18, 2011

Thanks GIRDS for sharing...I think they look pretty good....would you guys expect that the borders will be team based colours or all the same as this one???

Not to get into the whole preview ethics but I would suggest that Select will not be too concerned with the free marketing but probably had not expected the players to release cards early.

Bring it on....its time to save.

hey girds, people are already mentioning your card on selects facebook page!!!

Select should be sending Girds a free box. Its about the only positive feedback they have had on their facebook page!

I was on the AFLcct forums recently and there was some interaction between Select and a few of the people - they were not hiding it. Would love them to reveal themselves on OCT.

I would hope the colours would be team based. They have been in the past.
P.S It may be time to save if you are a Dragons collector but im sure $50 will cover it for my Sharks PC

I'd love another Knights high-end card, but to be honest ... most if not all of our players do suck haha.

Another sig card other than the Future Force (who I'm praying is Joel Edwards and not Con Mika) would be nice ... I just really hope that series one sig set is carried over into series two.

It's quite an anti-climax when there's only one sig for your team all year and it's just a young guy who might turn out useless or leave the club (Newcastle only have two previous ones there at the moment, Mullen and Uate ... I suppose it will increase to three when Tahu returns next year).

GiRDS- · May 19, 2011

will do if i had of known graham and that wouldnt of had a chance to take it down by now i wouldve done so already since half the world has seen it now theres little point though.

Jets59 · May 19, 2011

Card looks good girds.

I dont see what the big deal is really. Who cares, its 1 card. Builds anticipation/hype. No such thing as bad publicity etc etc. Its got some people frothing at series 2 already. Well done for posting girds.

ooneil · May 19, 2011

Dont worry about it - its already out there. Select did not seemed too upset on their facebook page about it.

GiRDS- · May 19, 2011

...............................

my thoughts are done on this set until it is out.

GoMoto · May 19, 2011

Case share anybody?
I will get the ok from Graham.

GiRDS- · May 19, 2011

im going to wait and confirm the rest of the auto's i have been told first and if they are true i will be down for at least a box maybe two depending on funds.

Matt26 · May 19, 2011

Guys,

To be honest a lot of the companies love getting this publicity. Trust me if Select really didn't want this info out there, they would have let us know about it. Its the 4th link on Google if you search Sandor Earl Strike.

In fact one of the most successful threads in recent times on a sports message board was when a player in another sport showed off the cards he was signing. The thread was epic with 30 - 40+ pages and the company loved him for it.

Things like this help create buzz about a product. I dont see why Select would be upset at all about this.

If there is anyone that is from Select who is posting on this board, let me (a Mod know) and we would love to have a chat with you. The ball is in your court!

Cheers
Matt

Too true.....I tell you what if I score a Sharkies TP and you score a Dragons TP how about a straight swap.

Good on ya Ming........I'm in and I'm sure you will have little trouble moving multiple cases.

You can't tease like that .....if you have any idea...speak up lad.

Sacha, remember that Select don't get the final say on who the players are for auto's, I believe they submit names to the NRL who then make the final decision.
