Hi guys. Having to post anonymously due to any risks with my SCC account. The prize list for the instant wins was just released.
Very keen to hear people’s thoughts on these prizes. Seems like select has completely gone against all of their guarantees they have made in previous years.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s awesome that someone can win a box of supremacy from a box of footy stars, but where were these boxes when the release actually came out? 2021 supremacy on selects website says “Supremacy is SOLD OUT”. Does that mean select has held back boxes and did not sell them to the public? The same goes for 2022 optimum and 2022 supremacy rookie. These products all show as SOLD OUT, which would mean there are no boxes left.
In regards to the hilites, rising star and draft pick sets, it clearly says on each one of those listings that “if 75 are ordered, only 75 will be printed”. How are they getting sets of these if someone didn’t keep some back and print extra in the print run?
I do like the idea of limited sets, new virtuosos and virtuosos signatures, that haven’t been in previous products, but it really starts to make me question everything select has ever guaranteed or said. Now true collectors won’t be able to get individual cards from these sets unless we are able to fork out lots of money, or spend a shit load on product to pull one of these cards, then HOPE we get lucky enough to get the sets with the cards in it we want?
Select just seem to have gone against all those claims they made regarding the products and rising stars.
Of course, everything may have been bought on the secondary market, but the realistic chance that that has actually happened is probably very very small.
I may be alone on this but just keen to see what others think. I feel a bit hard done by considering I missed out on some releases, and now those boxes are being given away after showing “sold out” on the website.
Keen to hear everyone’s thoughts. Any opinion is welcome! Just wanting to know if I am completely alone in this thought haha.
