These look bootleg. At a guess no NRL symbol would suggest this. Not bad looking though

I think these cards look home made as well has anyone come across them before.?
The players still do not get royalties from the cards that are released today. The only ones that get paid are for the signature cardsI think this is appalling that the players don't get any royalties from these bogus cards, this should be Taffy Smith's No. 1 priority to stamp these bootleggers out of the game for once and all.
There is a lot of things produced or made without a copyright or license from the nrl. Are we going to bag everyone that has had a go at produced items that has pictures of the nrl or cards. Even if it helps the industry.
It is good to see more that the run of the products available. More choice more competition. If you think these guys are making loads of money. I have to ask you how much would it cost you to produce these cards. Please add your labour in to the cost. I dont think these guys that produce cards books and other products that are not the run of the mill are making much after there cost.How on earth does it help the industry? It helps line the guys back pocket that makes them, that's about it.

It goes back into the coffers thats rightNot true.
The official company pays the NRL a licence fee.
The money goes back in to the game/players.
No.... just no...Even if it helps the industry.
what about pictures in books

So are they legitimate or not?, the seller is from the UK so I would assume that the Pommy fans share our passion in card collecting and that these have been produced by a professional outfit.
I have contacting him as I have known him for a few years and he knows who you are and said you have not spoke to him

There are a number of these sets and they are backyard jobs. I do not classify them as being licensed cards and will not be putting them in my next book edition. There was another couple of sets which I bought believing they were licensed from aus and they proved to be fakes. They were the limited edition tigers ones. Who cares if they is only 50 sets produced, they are still rubbish.
This is only my opinion, cards to be worth collecting need to be endorsed by the league or club, not by someone doing them at home. I am noticing more and more of these copyright infringements which seem to be allowed to sell on ebay. Other noticable ones are the envelopes with dodgy printing on them, the fake stamps, the fake notes.
I'm the same, I bought the 2002 and 2003 Knights sets back in the day, and felt like I'd been ripped off. One of the cards even had an image that obviously hadn't downloaded correctly, coz it was blurry as hell.
If he wanted to produce his own cards and actually grow the hobby then there are legal and effective ways to go about it - just look at the Footycards AFL set from last year.
I felt the same with the two tigers sets I bought. I contacted the seller who assured me they were official cards from Topps produced overseas after I asked a few times. After finding out later through other channels that he made them himself I felt like I was robbed. It is not right.
Again Select and now ESP pay a lot of money for their right to produce cards. Why should these people be allowed to get away with it. Most of the cases seem to indicate they are immune from the law because the cards are being produced overseas.
