Shame there's no pic of the milestone cards - the rainbow foil sounds like it could be the most interesting in hand.
Design wise, none of the sets wow me, but they're ok. As soon as I saw the common with the black border I thought straight away of 94 Dynamic and all the chipped cards. Bold move, ESP. I would have preferred a full bleed design with a touch of foil in line with the inserts, the base looks more basic than the Traders set this year.
At least there'll be a couple of Masters cards of Freddie as a Panther, if there's one in the chocolate soldiers kit then I'll be a happy man. Shame the sig set couldn't extend to 4 cards, as the club sig will no doubt be Easts.
As just a Panthers collector these days, the NRLW surge doesn't really bother me either way, but kinda bizarre to stack them in as inserts but not base cards. I get there's no value for sellers in commons, but to still have a tiny 144 base set when there's so many inserts seems ridiculous.
Oh yeah, they're prob just the same design. I guess they were kinda rainbow foil. I was hoping for something similar to the Master & Apprentice priorities. Oh well.
Usually a week before releaseSo the checklist is likely to be out mid to late July?
Overall though, LS numbers have increased from 140 to 150 per card. I am not sure what the theory behind this is but it doesn’t make a great deal of sense. At least the days of 2 hit boxes should be gone, there will be enough hits for a minimum of 3 per box.I suppose they had to drop the the number of white league sensations to accommodate for the Women's League sensations.
Might be some extra cards for us Raiders fans next year with the club given the go ahead to join the comp today!Pretty heavy increase on the WNRL content. I guess this was always going to happen at some point with the expansion of the WNRL in both teams and fixtures played. Not really my thing but I am sure this content will bring some new collectors aboard.
A few weeks too late, could have had Boyle and Elliot as the package deal !!Might be some extra cards for us Raiders fans next year with the club given the go ahead to join the comp today!
There will be very few Newsagents that will have Elite as it has been for several years now ....The only Newsagents that will have Elite will be the stores that buy from Dealers or IKON ...Not sure if anyone has asked already but is it going to be in newsagents again this year, I’m getting a case with priority anyway but I miss going to the newsagent to buy a few packs here and there, one time I bought 2 packs (I believe from the same box but possibly 2 open ones condensed) and both had a hit
Pretty foolish for them not to, they’re losing sales, I hardly got any elite last year
Not overly excited by this release, a few good looking cards but most are average.
The Golden Ticket is a joke.
From a few groups I am in the feedback is very 50/50.
Yes that's what I see, The All Star inserts will only have a limited appeal. Less high end team cards.Seems very similar comments to what I have heard as well.
I did some sums and from a team collector point of view...... my spend this year will be a lot less than the last 2 years.
