Don't you think it would make sense that if ESP is going to give you a "bonus" for pulling a #1 that they would at least know beforehand that every League Sensation would be signing or not.
I can't see the reason why they would let 13 of them sign a jersey when the other 3 wouldn't or couldn't.
Why not just scrap the idea of the jersey altogether then or come up with something that all number #1's get a limited 1 of 1 special from each club or something ?
Just doesn't make sense to me.
I know i'd feel a bit jipped if i ended up with an unsigned framed jersey displayed with a number 1 card when someone else ends up with a signed jersey.
Yes i understand that Matt, just thought they would have known beforehand or before players started signing if they would be doing it or not.I think the case was they started getting the jerseys signed and then a certain manager wanted Hundreds and Hundreds of dollars for one signature on a jersey that's what caused the issue. Im sure they will sort something out.
I don't think the players were an issue, it was just that one greedy manager.
I don't remember ESP letting that one out of the bag before everyone had paid for their pre-orders. I don't know if anyone would have changed their mind, I wouldn't have, but a bit of transparency would help ESP's reputation.
Something like this seems to happen every release. Maybe not their fault but let the people keeping them employed know. Communication.
- The number 1 cards from the League Sensation Signature series will be redeemed by lucky collectors via a special redemption card . For the first time in NRL card history the signed number 1 Card will be framed with the corresponding team jersey, once ESP receives the redemption card we will send out to the collector the framed team jersey with the number 1 card, and we will return the redemption card, marked of course.
Do you know who the 3 players are that didn't sign Matt ?I think the case was they started getting the jerseys signed and then a certain manager wanted Hundreds and Hundreds of dollars for one signature on a jersey that's what caused the issue. Im sure they will sort something out.

Not if you had to pay postage cost to NZ.Personally I'd be feeling pretty stoked to get a framed jersey. Best innovation in years!
I don't think you can blame ESP for thinking that if they'd engaged a player to sign 150 odd cards that there would be an issue with them signing 1 jersey also.
Good to see ESP trying something different.
Totally agree, just thought that as a professional memorabilia company that they would know or have something in concrete beforehand that all would be signed or not and if they knew that 3 would be wanting an extra fee then just don't have any jerseys signed.I don't think you can blame ESP for thinking that if they'd engaged a player to sign 150 odd cards that there would be an issue with them signing 1 jersey also.

ESP never communicated that any of them would be signed. Read the release info that was sent out with the promo sheet on page 22 again.
They have done nothing underhand here. I'm sure they set out with all intentions to have all jerseys signed but it just wasn't possible.
Graham. The point I was making was that ESP do not communicate well with the punters and is a general comment not only about the signed jerseys. ESP drip feed their customers and no offence but they communicate to all of us through the moderators of a forum.
Why don't they have someone communicate directly to all of us by posting information themselves. By reading this thread it appears that this information came from Matt in an off the cuff comment. How long has ESP and Matt known? My point was that if we all had a little more visibility on what was happening with the product that we spend so much of our hard earned cash on people would be more likely to overlook the small indescrepancies.
You are right it doesn't say that they would be signed in the release. I think that the reason these things get mixed up is that we all rely on second hand information. If we received official statements from ESP direct it would probably eliminate some of the Chinese whispers that eventually we may take as gospel.
I do know that 3 of the players did not sign their jerseys. A specific manager of 3 of the players wanted a huge fee for them to sign a jersey hence why only 13 players will have them signed.
Cheers
Matt
