Elite 2020 (Apologies on the image quality..... its how it was sent to us)
FAQ !
Young Guns – No signature version this year, but all cards are individually numbered and limited (a great looking subset) with teams now locked down and player rotation, we simply could not get these signature in 2020
League Sensation - What is the Team version? The team subset use the colour of the teams in the designs, there are also a Black and White version the team version looks amazing.
Golden Ticket – 16 Ticket set individually numbered ? Each redemption will secure the collector a 2018 Milestone.
There is only 6 x 1 of 1's on the checklist but there was 8 last year. No Titans or Warriors on either list., this ties back to the Road to the Finals subset.
Why is there 2 Spotlight Patches & 6 Road To Finals Patches? because the jerseys TLA receive from the teams to be included in the road to the finals must be worn by that player in a finals game (it is very difficult to get these match worn jerseys because of the way the kit is allocated and used by teams), if we receive a worn player jersey not form the finals then we use it in the Spotlight insert series. We will continue this again in 2021 to cover all 16 teams by the end of 2021.
Why Billy Slater as the first Master Series feature? TLA has a very close working relationship with the Storm and Billy, we secured Billy as the first of 16 Masters to feature in Elite, Billy’s stellar career has given us so much valuable content, this will be the last trading card release Billy is likely to sign, his focus is now on his media career. We are very excited to have Billy as our first Master and very grateful for his time and access to memorabilia.
Thoughts?
Thanks for sharing this Matt. Any chance you know who the player is for the Raiders Spotlight Signature?
The only rumour I had heard was your number 9..... not sure how accurate that is?
That says all you need to know about this releassThought this thread be bubbling away but its a ghost town

Just dont like the idea of rehashing older cards due to cost-cuttingHave to say it is a bit flat....... I was really excited based on it being similar to last year....... I have very mixed thoughts on this years 2020 Billy Slater Release.
Wait to see cards in hand i guess.
Would you rather not see a 2nd release this year?Just dont like the idea of rehashing older cards due to cost-cutting
Quality, but for someone who no longer plays for the club... for the panthers... highly disappointing!Still 6 weeks out from ‘official’ release date. I am sure as more info is released, excitement will build and the thread will get moving again.
There are some interesting additions this year but I am suprised to see the release move away from the 2019 template which IMO was the best yet.
TLA’s consistency and communication have always been issues.
I like the Masters Series concept. It would be good to see some older players represented moving forward but I doubt they will go back prior to the NRL era.
The /20 LS look great and I think these will fetch a mint as will the lower numbered priority parallel sets.
The signers I am aware of for Spotlight / RTF are as follows;
Harris-Tavita
Fifita
RCG
Smith
Hodgson
Gutherson
Some quality there!
Yer, so is my wallet. Out of all honesty it would be good to do 3 x masters signatures at #/110 each of 3x different players in team colours across the whole run. With the masters subset containing the one per box but then number them and put them in team/origin/ country pictures? With 18 pictures of each player (6 club/origin/country). Just an idea moving forward and brings in more team collectors into the elite seriesHave to say it is a bit flat....... I was really excited based on it being similar to last year.......

Do licences cover all teams including those who have folded or put into administration? @Matt26
Completely understand and agree. So hope they do Laurie Dalie or Greg Alexander soon. They will be two I go after that are not Storm.Even if they don't, they could always feature the player in their Australian/Origin jersey.
Its more about cost.....cheaper to get Billy signing 330 cards than 3 different players signing 110 cards each.
Any idea of a ballpark figure what they charge to sign 120 cards ?Even if they don't, they could always feature the player in their Australian/Origin jersey.
