2013 ESP Elite NRL Cards Thread (Updated 5/8/13)

The packing really is the only issue. The cards are amazing and with few faults. I'd really like to know from Terry whether the packaging was a mistake in China or deliberate (maybe Matt could find out). If a mistake, then ESP have listened to us and given us everything we asked for.

Love to see a scan of it.....still chasing one!

Here are the pictures for #004 Tim Grant that I plucked from my case.

To be honest, not a bad set. Bit pissed how long I had to wait to get the cards, but over all not a bad set. I'm not a signatures person or really a high end card person. They mean nothing to me really, just love opening boxes of cards. I worked out how many cards I should have gotten for my case when the ratios were released. I got the correct amounts. Was surprised to see a case card, which I think is great. The only disappointing thing about these, is that they aren't individually numbered. Would love to see case cards individually numbered. Other than that, not a bad effort. Hopefully the quality and designs of cards continue

After getting my cards yesterday my thoughts are mostly positive about this release. The cards themselves are great. Good quality, nice designs, a lot of different of players than the first set, good subsets, higher end cards for ALL teams.

The 1:72 distrubution is the only problem I have with this set. If they don't fix it for their next release I doubt I'll risk buying a dud box again.

Their rate of improvement is something Select could only dream about. I just hope they fix the spreading out of box hits for future releases, because otherwise I won't be buying anymore. I hope it's not some weird theory on preventing sales on ebay, or something.

It's strange if it is on purpose. IMO it would encourage case searching by the dodgy ebay sellers rather than prevent it.

I agree 2 sigs in a box will only encourage case searching.

This is insane, the cards people are pulling from only a few boxes is unbelievable.

Unfortunately some members have had dud boxes, but the luck people are having is incredible, the top three hits in one box..... Cant beat that!

Cant wait for my 2 cases, another box, 2 starter packs and 2 albums to arrive, hopefully i can have similar luck to you guys on my way to completing the Sensations set.

Oh, and that 001 Slater i just know is mine!

I wish I got 3 big hits in one box. I got no hits out of 3 boxes so mine was wrong way around lol. I swear ESP knew the boxes where for me & deliberately gave me the dud boxes lol

I had two boxes and no sigs but got a Gold FF so that is still betting the odds!

I managed to jag a sig from a starter pack late yesterday arvo though

Sig from a starter pack that's a good score. What sig was it?

thenamesgould · Jul 26, 2013

The only other thing I'd change is different photos on the parallel cards. They are boring if it's just the addition of foil to the regular card.

Happy to take that one off your hands Brendan.

Lol, it is on the trade list!!!

lukeedwardjohn · Jul 26, 2013

After busting my box and only getting the silver fast and furious and rep/triple threat cards no mojo hit i was dissapointed, but after sorting my cards and putting them in albumn have realised from just 1 box got a complete base set so after all that cant complain, got my base set will sell the inserts to try and salvage some cash back to put towards titans inserts i need so my original dissapointment has now somewhat gaines some joy (Only my second ever box break behind a powerplay box that i forked $70 on and didnt even bag a base set from lol)

So thumbs up esp!

MILD · Jul 26, 2013

I think, for once, I am going to bust through the whole box in one sitting. I missed out on anything of note from my box of Limited and Traders. Hopefully third time is the charm!

Not sure if this has been posted but has anyone else noticed the error in the Album. Inside the front cover it states Triple Threats - 32 when there are 48........lol
