2017 Goals
- Thread starter ElijahCraigHyde
- Start date
Issues with changing to a jersey signature per club would be 1. That the Road to the Finals theme would have to be scrapped even though the designs changed significantly from 15 to 16 Elite. Issue 2 would be if you went say 50 per club that is an extra 600 high end signatures on the market for an already overburdened and struggling hobby.
With the closeness of the comp we will have had 10/16 teams represented in the jersey sigs in 3 seasons (assuming both Canberra and GC get one in 17 Elite). While this seems to harsh to collectors of other teams 4/6 are huge chances of being in the 8 this year and getting one in 2018. Instead of duplicating two teams that have already had jersey cards that could just do 100 and make them twice as hard to get in 17 Elite.
Just on issue 2 I have enjoyed adding all these extra Raiders signatures to my PC since ESP took over but it is a double edged sword that is really killing the value of cards and the overall collectibility.

Have to remember though this sport doesn't have an American sized following and appetite for collectibles. There is only so much money in the hobby. I spent doubled my budget last year getting my Raiders PC, not really because of prices (sapphire mojo aside) but more because of sheer volume. I have heard that all 17 releases are going to have 'more value' which equates to more cards

What are your goals to collect in 2017?
I want to fill in a few holes in my 16 collection , I really liked the captains subset last year and would like to finish that off
Anything considering collecting you missed out last year and previous years?
See Above
What was your highlight in collecting in 2016?
Probably the Andrew Fifita Jersey Sig or the Alan Langer Legends Signature
Your biggest disappointment in 2016?
the cost of collecting even just team collecting and not getting a common set in a box purchase
What are you expecting in the card releases in 2017?
realistically more of the same
What would you like ESP to do differently (if applicable) to make you can your hands on more on it? (ie. more cards and/or set buildings)
with esp doing the Sharks Signature Series after the grand final win, I would like to see this as repeated for next years winners I thought it was a great idea
I would also like to see them do a di-cut card subset (not a jersey styled one) for something different and bring back the coach card in the commons
What has been your favourite release and/or cards so far? And is there anything different cards sets you will consider planning a collection for this year apart from the 2017 ones?
Probably diverse a little into the non sport (marvel) again especially with GotG 2 coming out

What are your goals to collect in 2017?
To pick up the Panthers Signature cards in Elite/Traders and Powerplay
Anything considering collecting you missed out last year and previous years?
Maybe a Moylan Jersey Signature card?
What was your highlight in collecting in 2016?
Mansour and DWZ having signature cards and the improvement of the NRL releases.
Your biggest disappointment in 2016?
None really?
What are you expecting in the card releases in 2017?
More of the same from last year with hopefully further improvement in releases.
What would you like ESP to do differently (if applicable) to make you can your hands on more on it? (ie. more cards and/or set buildings)
Love to see them adopt what Select did with jersey cards....8 one year, 8 the next....so that each team gets one.....and also have a team logoman card 1/1 and a trophy logoman 1/1.

Elite 2017 was a good release I think and hope its similar this year (but havig a single mojo card per box as a hit - not the full team set 1 per case)

When is some more info coming on the traders/power play releases
Do centenary
I can't imagine any NRL release will maintain and increase in value like this.
For anyone wanting to start a master Centenary I do have a spare folder, with Gladiator card, base set, full set of Holofoil Club Logos, 30/32 past heroes, full set TOTC, 6/7 Immortals, 6 TOTCFS (including Chook & Gaz) and 3 Immortal sketches. Not desperate to move but if the right offer came along who knows....
What are your goals to collect in 2017?
To collect all the St George cards released and clear out the hordes of non PC and doubles I have cluttering my office.
Anything considering collecting you missed out last year and previous years?
Still chasing a Dugan SAS sig.
Would like to add a MINT 1974 #30 Graeme Sams
What was your highlight in collecting in 2016?
No white whales struck of my wants this year but I did add the couple of cards I needed to complete my 1977 and 1982 sets.
Your biggest disappointment in 2016?
Cronulla winning the comp.
What are you expecting in the card releases in 2017?
An unnecessary, but seemingly inevitable increase, in the number of cards I will need to add to my St George PC (thank god the dragons didn't make the finals last year)
What would you like ESP to do differently (if applicable) to make you can your hands on more on it? (ie. more cards and/or set buildings)
Mine is not what I would like them to do different but what I would like them not to do differently.........to long and off topic for the collecting goals thread I think.
What has been your favourite release and/or cards so far? And is there anything different cards sets you will consider planning a collection for this year apart from the 2017 ones?
I think I will play around with collecting another Scanlens set for fun.
Good luck all

What are your goals to collect in 2017?
1) Collect all Knights cards from the Traders & Elite releases (same as last year)
2) Get all the cards i've set aside for IPs signed (same as last year)
3) Fill any gaps in sets from previous years
Anything considering collecting you missed out last year and previous years?
Yes. Nothing specific, i'll just keep an eye out for cards I need when they're at a good price.
What was your highlight in collecting in 2016?
1) Getting all the Knights cards in the Elite release (I got very lucky. I genuinely didn't think i'd be able to get 1 of the mojo's let alone both of them)
2) Getting the majority of my Joey Johns cards signed via TTM
Your biggest disappointment in 2016?
1) Not being able to get all the IPs I had set aside signed (Snowden, Uate in particular)
2) Being wooden spooners again
What are you expecting in the card releases in 2017?
I honestly don't know what to expect.
What would you like ESP to do differently (if applicable) to make you can your hands on more on it? (ie. more cards and/or set buildings)
I'd like to see more base cards; 18 per team (Means more IPs for me to get
)
What has been your favourite release and/or cards so far? And is there anything different cards sets you will consider planning a collection for this year apart from the 2017 ones?
12 Dynasty & 16 Elite. No not really
