You could always do what they did this year and add in another Limited Young Guns Signature #/40 falling 1 per case.
That means in a case you would get
2 x Young Guns #/80
1 x Young Guns #/40
1 x Jersey Signature Patch #/40
Plus:
10 x Rubies
5 x Sapphires
2/3 x Emeralds
If you really wanted to add in further value, you could have an unsigned jersey patch #/80 which would give you an extra 2 hits per case.
2 x Young Guns #/80
1 x Young Guns #/40
1 x Jersey Signature Patch #/40
2 x Jersey Patch #/80 (Unsigned)
Plus:
10 x Rubies #/40
5 x Sapphires #/20
2/3 x Emeralds #/20
Thats 24 hits per case - 4 signatures, 2 unsigned patches and 17 or 18 numbered cards limited to 40 or less.
In previous years having the signatures dropping more frequently has led them to bombing in value some as low as $30 each.
If they are a little rarer, they may hold their value a little better but I do understand your point. Building sets is very hard to do to get the right line between not enough value and too much value.
Its a good discussion to have nonetheless.

Especially the auto /patches . II would like to see all jersey sig patches be multicoloured. Nothing worse than getting high end sig patch with only one colour on the patch. Cheapens the concept imo.
If this is what they are thinking of doing for next years release then I feel it is a step backwards after what they released this year ....
Similar to what they brough out in 2012 limited edition (ie: peachey, vagana and another player)i would like to see the amount of mojos Reduced but I would like to see the Signatures increased, something like this.
Young Gun #/90
League Sensation #/60
Club Legend #/40
Triple Signature #/10
but I did like the black parallel version this year as well
Then & Now dual signature series
One club legend and a current player of similar ilk
S. Walters / Hodgson or Wiki / Papalii
Maybe put it to a collector vote?
Yes perhaps too many cards in particular with the signature variants I suggested but what's the solution? As we mentioned before TLA aren't going to spend money on creating new ideas if it means them not getting their return. Yes I'd be open to past time players signature concepts but is it that practical? Now in terms of mojo cards, do feel they won't be axed any time soon and key credibility with them is to make sapphire, emerald and diamond variants single cards as well as. Yes prices will drop however speaking of the team packed replications from previous years with the fancier designs, many collectors dug deep to acquire these and will therefore only come out to be seen again if another collector is prepared to pay as much as they did if not more. Therefore collectors will want new replications of such concepts and introducing a 1/1 mojo (let's say it would be black opal comprising colours of all four lower variants) will keep the market running: this of course assuming all variants packed individually thus no team packed
Love it if elite came out in June. Way too hard in mid August for us IP collectors.Great brands usually have a good concept in them that can continue over a period of years that can be tweaked and improved as you go along.
Traders (out in March) - SAS Signatures, Predictors, Retirements, Legends etc.....think this is a really solid release the past few years and I hope they don't change it too much next year.
Powerplay (out In April) - Hasn't really established its identity.......is a low end release aimed at kids and I think this could be really successful if their gaming component was mobile enabled......have kids playing games on their phones easily rather than on PC etc.
Maybe introduce a hook like a Dally M Predictor in this........get people looking for these cards in Powerplay. The figurines didn't do much for me this year.
Elite (out in mid/late June) Keep this with your MOJO cards, your Young Guns and League Sensations.
I would then concentrate on a higher end limited edition box style product (out in late August/early September) where they feature jersey card patches for all teams and very low numbered signatures (25 maximum per card). Think your immaculate/National Treasure type release.
This would Cover all markets.......Mass markets at the start of the year, build up through elite and finish in line with the finals with a high end product.

Even July would be better than August. Gives you two or three rounds only to get Ip's done and most years elite has a tonne of retirees and players heading to England. Very hard to complete them in such a short space of time. I know TLA wouldn't care as everyone still buys it. Just my opinion on what I would like to see. Love the look of the commons this year though. They look awsome signedThe Higher end set ( Elite or what ever it will be called in the future ) will always come out in the New Financial year , July - August....
Their Grand Final week fan day was a success last year... wasn't a bad chance to catch some players from all teams.Even July would be better than August. Gives you two or three rounds only to get Ip's done and most years elite has a tonne of retirees and players heading to England. Very hard to complete them in such a short space of time.
