Warren, that is only the case, BECAUSE tla is the only producer of cards.
If there were competition in the industry with some more concentration on sigs and other issues of confidentiality, tla would be out of business.
Every business has to make money to survive, no denying that.
Are they still being made in china, or will they be stamped made in Vietnam.
TLA are the only distributor as no other company will take up the license .. It wouldn`t matter who produced the cards someone would always complain ..
You can`t force a player to sign a card ...There are quite a few popular players that are not interested in signing ....At least TLA are happy to pay overs to produce the NRL cards ..

And at least the collectors have something to collect, and dealers are making a living.
I’m surprised considering the increased amount that TLA supposedly pays the Nrl for said license ,that the players aren’t forced to sign cards as part of the contract ?
Similar to how they have to do a certain amount of school visits etc?

NRL are notoriously difficult to negotiate with and want plenty of $$$ for merchandise rights.
Frankly, I’m amazed there is 3-4 NRL sets at all. TLA have faults but they’re the ones getting merchandise to market.
That’s why Tazos, Coles Micro men, DT cards go for a couple of years and disappear. You have to pay a Motza for the licence, pump out product to make it worthwhile which ultimately causes a glut and then slashed prices.

I have heard numbers in the vicinity of $500K per year to $700K per year..... depending who you talk to.
This is the minimum guarantee you have to pay from your wholesale sales and is based on % of wholesale sales.
Example....... you earn $4 million in wholesale sales and the license fee is 17.5% that equals $700,000.
If you sell over this amount, 17.5% of any extra revenue goes to the NRL there is a spreadsheet you have to submit which shows your sales from all different channels at least every quarter or half year.
Are they the normal captains cards or the priority? They look greatHere are a couple of the preview images thanks to TLA...... just waiting on confirmation that the Hunt is a Priority Parallel @Diggaz TC
This is what "Elite " cards should look like.Here are a couple of the preview images thanks to TLA...... just waiting on confirmation that the Hunt is a Priority Parallel @Diggaz TC
The reason I asked,was that in Diggaz random case breaks,it says Darius Boyd master series autos to be randomised between Broncos,Knights and Dragons.
