2016 Series II/Honours 3 Rumours and Ideas

Not sure if anyone saw this, it was in the comments of the announcement post on Select's Facebook page.

Is that a price increase or same? I thought it was $5.99? And not necessarily a bad thing if price rises as long as so does product haha

I agree. Have been saying for years I don't mind paying a premium price for a premium product. What I don't like is paying a premium for an inferior product. More than happy to pay $6.99 a pack. This release so far sounds like maybe their best since 05 Dynasty and 06 Supreme.
 
In saying that, at $6.99 per pack, roughly $251 per box assuming it's still 36 packs a box, I'd expect a signature and Guernsey card per box. With the rarer Guernsey signature cards maybe 2 or 3 per case. Am I expecting too much?

Hmm...I wonder what the 460 refers to. I thought it might be the number of goals he's scored but he was on 452 at the start of the season and was never on 460 exactly between games (if they used stats up to Round 4, for example). Any ideas?

Will throw this one out there for you Scotty. Pretty obscure and more than likely not related, but Norm racked up a total of 460 disposals in his 23 finals matches for the Catters. Certified Finals Performer? ;)

Best idea I've heard so far - sounds good to me! :D

(And something tells me he'll have the chance to live up to that title this year...)

That is bloody brilliant detective work Paul - I was thinking maybe it was his total disposals for 2015, and attempted to calculate them. It then became obvious: :-)

I reckon it would probably be 1 major hit per box not 2, but the chance of better hits with jerseys and autos etc.

Last year there were 600 cases (16 box cases) = 9600 boxes - signatures were numbered to 400.

This is a very rough guess but say its the same print run this year.....

Say there are 9 jersey cards - signature versions to 50 and unsigned to 150 = 1800 cards in total

That leaves 7800 boxes left with a signature hit = approx 215 per signature card.

I reckon a case would be something like this:

1 Case Hit Jersey Signature
2 Unsigned Jersey Cards
13 Signature Cards

As I said, its a very rough guess but I would be surprised if there was a jersey and signature per box.

Cheers

12 box cases is what I have heard
 
I've seen a couple of people suggest that the 460 could refer to the number of cards produced, but my gut feeling is that won't be it. In general, if I remember correctly, Select don't tend to use that number on the front of the card or as part of the name of the subset. Could be wrong though!
 
If $250.00 or whatever proves to be the price of a box, then I can sort of appreciate a certain expectation that it guarantees something.

That said, "one or major hits per box" are not even minor hits. It's daft.

Completely true.

Like opening 3 boxes of 2013 Prime and getting two Josh Simpson autos and one Lachie Plowman auto
(Are they even still on AFL lists?) :crazy:
 
plowman was traded for a shoebox and packet of chips to carlton. still plowing away there but my expectations are not for long. and Elijah that is the most confusing post I have ever seen lol I tried to read it several times and still have no idea what half the words mean!!'
