Elite Case Break + Loose Packs

[Rison]

Hi Everyone,

New around here and this is my first post. This is also my first NRL cards in a long time!

I enjoyed breaking this box even though I didn't get the cards I wanted all though I am fairly happy. Here is a break down per box

Case 1

Box 1

4 x Triple Threats (Panthers, Rabbits, Canberra, Titans)
2 x Fast & Furious (Titans, Brisbane(G))
2 x Aussie Reps (Nate Myles, Darius Boyd)

Box 2

4 x Triple Threats (Newcastle, Bulldogs, Sharks, Eels)
2 x Fast & Furious (Panthers (G), Eels)
2 x Aussie Reps (Inglis, Luke Lewis)

Box 3

4 x Triple Threats (Broncos, Storm, St George, Manly)
1 x Fast & Furious (St George)
2 x Aussie Rep (Billy Slater, Tony Williams)

Box 4

4 x Triple Threats (Warriors, Roosters, Tigers, Cowboys)
2 x Fast & Furious (Tigers, Manly)
1 x Future Stars Caleb Timu #5 (Possibly best pull of the case)
1 x League Sensation Kieran Foran #62

Box 5

3 x Triple Threats (Brisbane, Storm, Manly)
1 x Fast & Furious (Manly (G))
2 x Aussie Rep (Sam Thaiday, Paul Gallon)

Box 6 ( I got a little lazy from here on in with the Triple Threats, I got 2-4 in each box)

1 x Fast & Furious (Cowboys)
2 x Aussie Rep (Johnathan Thurston, James Tamou)

Box 7

2 x Triple Threats (Eels, Newcastle)
1 x Fast & Furious (Warriors)
2 x Aussie Reps (Josh Morris, Greg Bird)

Box 8

2 x Triple Threats (Rabbitohs, Panthers)
1 x Fast & Furious (Roosters)
2 x Aussie Rep (Cooper, Brett Morris)
1 x Future Stars Jamal Fogarty #104
1 x League Sensations Paul Gallen #118

Box 9

3 x Triple Threats (Newcastle, Sharks, Bulldogs)
2 x Aussie Rep (Cameron Smith, Matthew Scott)
1 x League Sensations Johnathan Thurston #109
1 x Future Stars Michael Licha #30

Box 10

1 x Fast & Furious (Sharks)
1 x Aussie Rep (Greg Inglis)

I was really looking for a low Barba or Inglis signature but I think I got some pretty good cards.

Also while at the shops stopped into 2 news agencies and bought around a dozen loose packs. I ended up getting Aussie Rep Paul Gallen and not much else except a few triple threats.

Overall I ended up with the 3 x League Sensations, 3 x Future Star, full Aussie Rep Set (With 3 doubles), 3 Gold Fast & Furious, Most of the silver Fast & Furious (Missing 2, and a few doubles), Most of the Triple Threats (Missing 10) and ALOT of the other cards.

I will probably grab a few more loose packs but probably not anymore boxes.

Hi Mate and welcome to the site

congrats on some really nice hits mate

 

[Rison]

Thanks,

Like I said I haven't collected NRL to much but I think I am addicted, I can see a visit to the news agency tomorrow!

 

[#1 Eels fan]

the news agencies have been good to a few on here

if you buy another esp case make sure its this one

 

[Rison]

Yeah, I was just reading a few threads and it did not help my addiction! I always wonder though how many did they have to buy to get those ones

I would love another case but the budget does not allow at the moment! I have to leave room for some TV show boxes in the next month or 2.

Having only really gotten back into NRL how does the value of these cards usually change? I noticed that some of them are fairly high at the moment. Is that just because everyone is trying to complete their sets etc? Or will the cards likely hold/increase their value? I don't need the money now but a few of the cards I would be happy to sell. Just not sure if I should sell them now or wait?

there is a bit of a race to get the sigs but as there is only 105 of one and 130 of the other it wont be to long before they become harder to get specially if you are trying to get the master set.
The value of cards will always fluctuate and these sig will do the same, they will float around the mark they are now but i think they will creep up a little once they thin out a bit, same with the gold Fast and Furious cards

No need to be disappointed with that break. Gallen, Thurston and Foran are some pretty useful names for your Sensations. Congrats.

very nice bust mate! good first post too!

 

[Rison]

Thanks yeah I am pretty happy with them, I was only dissapointed I didn't get the cards I want but I recon I may just buy/trade for those. I reckon I will keep the JT and PG.
