So my 10 boxes makes me the dominant price maker on eBay does it? Great for my ego but please.....

Not on Ebay ... but the sellers of the case share here were left with no option but to follow suit..otherwise be criticised for over chargeing. Don't get me wrong I'm all for compeditive pricing & believe everyone can charge what they want, what does PI$$ me off is ESP and their favouratism of 2 sellers JaJa & Sunshine Collectables & their attempt at price fixing which is totally illegal in this GREAT country of ours.
I'm also sick of ESP"s lies & constant disaptionments from their lack of repect for our hobby.

Like I said - 'rolled the dice.' Be good trade bait if he honours the price. Anyone but Pearce would be cool.

If it is not SBW it does worry me about the release and the lack of a checklist though. You'd hope that if SBW was too rich for them then other marquee players weren't. Would be a bit hollow if the Gallen and Slater images were not a fair reflection of the quality of the players from other clubs. I know there is Johnson, Grant and Prince as well, but wouldn't call them marquee.

EDIT TO GIRDS (instead of pissing people off with new posts)!
Agree on Grant, he is quality. Johnson is like the flashy ferrari of the Warriors, but there are at least half a dozen players I'd select first over him.

grant is marquee in terms of penriths side... i dont think youd want anyone else. prince is a spastic decision though... and johnson same boat as grant i'd say.

Still plenty of good players yet to be announced....yet to hear about Tigers/Souths/Roosters/St George/Manly/Cowboys etc....rumour is that Barba may be the Bulldogs signature but yet to be confirmed.

Why does ESP favour JaJa & Sunshine Collectables? Do they both pay a fee for the privilege? Or are all three super-bestfriends and are stitching us up?

Unfortunately I agree on the Prince if its Scott Prince we are talking about. Would have preferred Parker, Hodges, Thaiday or even Hannant. All marquee players.

Thats the million dollar question.. I''ve heard rumours that JaJa's has a lot of input to what ESP produce...
I don't know why ESP are so secretive about every release...All other card produces release info about 1 month early to generate pre-sales.

I've taken the risk, rolled the dice on a SBW (prob get s***ty Pearce) and Inglis (Reynolds/Burgess - don't think they have said it is definitely the best player in each team??). I don't think his prices are as exponentially wrong as last time though, if he honours them I'd say I'll be a very happy man.

he better honour them this time or his an absolute wanker!

Its because of the "rouge sellers that f*ck it up for everyone". Direct quote

What a stupid reason. For the amount of ill-will it causes, it would be a much better idea just to release the info in advance.

I'm a bit late to the party and it looks like the case shares on here have all sold out, are there any other good places to order a box?

Anywhere other than Redtorana is pretty good.

I have never had a problem with anything I've bought off him & he's more than reasonable on prices. He is a credit to this site.

It appears they are dictating who we can buy from on here also...

It really is a different ball game to the non-sport arena. I get product info 4-6 weeks out from release day on sub-sets, odds, pictures etc....keeping the people who purchase their product is just childish. In this case me thinks the ESP rep has spit the dummy and is cracking a tantrum.

I also deal and trade with Warren and cannot fault him in any way. He is always a pleasure to deal with.
