2017 Elite Wish List

[Miss Master Set]

What would you like to see in the 2017 Elite Trading Card collection?

Cards that hold value!!!

In all seriousness ESP nailed 2016 Elite and if they can improve from that release it will be another cracker.

Hopefully no stacked cases like last year. Happy for dealers to have such cases so they can be well supported but if they do then make them hobby and retail releases.

love the first 2 lines Brendan, 3rd will not apply to me any longer, but, instead give the dealers cheaper cases and have all cases the same odds so every 1 gets the same opportunity in the hobby/ business.

NO /10 PARALLELS!!!!!

It's getting a bit ridiculous with the volume of cards in these releases.

Would hate to be master setting in this day and age

 

[Brendan_B]

Is there such a thing as master setters anymore? If so surely last years 1/1 jersey patches would have been the final straw.

I agree, no /10 mojo!!

The /20 cost me a fortune and they are not even signed!!

 

[Parrapaul]

Maybe we should start a petition with collectors on here regarding the No /10 parallels and forward it to ESP so they actually know what the collecting community wants or moreso doesn't want in the releases

 

[parrathruandthru]

wont matter they listen to the dealers not the collectors they know if 1/10s available there will be collectors who chase them

And unfortunately I will probably be one of those suckers that will try and get one of these /10 sets.

What number would other collectors pull the pin on trying to get ie a set limited to 5??

 

[Parrapaul]

By adding this /10 set they are adding 144 more cards to the elite set from last year if they maintain the others.

Common, gold, /10, /20 and a /40 is a bit ridiculous in my books.

Next bulldogs 1/1 once can't get my set even if i won lotto why pay big $ to have a close to complete set that wont ever be complete

 

[Davebvd]

Same as the broncos 1-1 in 2016. Now impossible for me to complete my set

 

[Missing Hinges]

18 cards per team and only one parallel set. This is the last time I am going to tell you ESP. REEEEEEEEEE

 

[ElijahCraigHyde]

It seems many collectors are dreading the concept of a gold or emerald /10 mojo! As I've mentioned on this forum before, should there be no /10 mojo, I must say the /20 Sapphire mojo ought to be scrapped for 2017 as well! That would make 2016 blue mojo along with that release hold a little more value along with 2012 Select Dynasty IMO

My ideal 2017 Elite if to be no /10 mojo

Common cards 144 - back to 9 per even pocket page
Elite Specials (144); 1:3 packs
ESP listend to our demand to have one back end para variant thus different photos and deign as of last year and fingers crossed same thing will occur this year
Elite Hexes (48); 1:6 packs
3 cards per club; 2 players per card; printed on gloss board applicable to a prominent lighter colour of the club (i.e. Raider lime, Saints white)
Elite Hexes Parallels (48 /130); 1:24 packs
Same as above but printed on holofoil board applicable to a prominent darker colour of the club (i.e. Raiders dark blue-green, Saints red), #001-130
Young Guns (16 /390); 1:24 packs
Some on this forums have hinted YG signature to fall into a hit like this and can't say I disagree
League Sensations (16 /130); 1:72 packs
Fingers crossed this concepts back yet again (unlike 15 elite lol) and have a feeling Hayne by be Titans signer and Storm to be Bromwich or Proctor so to speak.
League Historians (16 /130); 1:72 packs
A third signature concept to be introduced to make up for not a Guernsey concept for all 16 clubs lol - All or at least most players who have retired by now and similar to the Legends series from Traders but one card for all 16 clubs
Pearl Mojo (16 /80); 1:120 packs
Hope other users see where I'm coming from with a concept like this one
Ruby Mojo (16 /40); 1:240 packs
Red mojos may need to have some value and this done by making them the highest concept of its kind and therefore 2016 Sapphire a memory to chase
Road to Finals (CBR, GCT; NQL & PEN /150); + Signature version /050
Raiders, Titans, Panthers and Cowboys to be participating clubs - 2 of these never to have had such concept before an other 2 - well may as may be repeated considering nobody seemed to like blue ink signatures from 2015 lol

I like the sound of that, there is a good mix of sigs, jerseys and parallels.

Would like the historical sig to be grothe Snr, Ella, edge, Cronin or Kenny for the eels

 

[warriors_man]

Manu Vatuvei auto! Or another Solomone Kata, without the gross blue pen

This is a deal breaker for me as well

Yes indeed mate! Fear /10 mojos (yet alone /5 and 1/1) would make your hottest 2012 Black LL card along with your beloved Ruby and Sapphire mojo detract! ESP might think collectors would not necessarily regard /10 as apart of their sets but it seems that's not necessarily the case
