Whakatane by way of Mt Smart
Ok mate whatever you like. Id say $300 early then $250 after a few weeks. Depends on team and number.
Do we need to make a different thread to talk about coffee ? lol I'd love to know what people think mojo sets will go for.
That's around what I was thinking. Would really love Eels one lolOk mate whatever you like. Id say $300 early then $250 after a few weeks. Depends on team and number.
Maybe they're just guessing.... Although they know who the case cards are and the album card.... So who knows!
I see someone is already pre-selling the young guns...... Canterbury and Souths must be good players...... $200 BIN
Penrith player $165 BIN.......

To be fair he cancelled just his Young Gun sales from 2013 Traders. It seems to be getting built up to a 'he cancels every year' urban myth.
We all probably thought that those YGs would be one per box, none of us expected them to be as scarce and difficult to obtain as they were. He sold dozens at $30 each in pre-sales. I'm not trying to defend him just putting the info out there rather than having people stab in the dark. From what I hear ESP refuse to distribute to him now.
For me the philosophical question is ' should people have to guess what the product is when trying to run a business.' I get that certain parties are trying to protect others by eliminating pre-sales but to be fair as a consumer (well previously) getting prior info about the release and making a few pre-purchases was something I found pretty fun.
All in all, it looks like a fun release. I won't be collecting, but I'll probably bust a case for nostalgia (and tradebait for a Warriors mojo). Especially now that I can bust and sell at the same time as people based in Sydney.
Gotta say though, ESP continue to overwhelm with sheer volume of product, I predict 2-3 hard-core collectors will continue to drop out of the game every release at this rate; and there aren't too many hard-core collectors.
Your last sentence Mirren is spot on and ESP really need to listen.I'd say you're right there about collectors "dropping" out. Chasing the odd high end is expected and often embraced, but chasing numerous every year is a bit steep for normal folk to afford.
I think the sell sheet should be released well in advance. The only way this series goes bust is if the "jersey cards" are crap...... Or crap players....... They've definitely got the remaining inserts to tide them over anyway. Quality inserts count more to me than just inserts.

I'm starting to wonder if I am under valuing some of these cards, I mean I have had a look through and apart from the Jersey Signatures, which, depending on the players, I expect to be in the 5-600+ mark, I really dont see where everyone thinks the really expensive cards are going to be.
Now, I will preface this with the fact that I was out of the game the last year or 2 and have no idea how the market has perceived ESP card value, so my guesses could be way out... however, this is where I currently sit with average values of a collector that wants a full team set:
1x Complete base Set $15
9x Parrallel $1ea = $9
9x Parrallel Gold $2ea = $18
5x Elite Pennants $3ea = $15
2x 2014 Club Champions $5ea = $10
2x Young Guns $20ea = $40
2x Elite Quads $50 ea = $100
1x Young Gun Signatures $50
1x Ltd Edition MOJO Team Set $250 (this seems high to me, but a few people above seemed to agree around this)
Which including the MOJO is $507 total, without $257, of course this assumes the jerseys / all stars don't have anyone from your club.
Lets say a Rabbitohs set and assume 1 player in all of the higher end cards (obviously there might be more or less, but without names its hard to judge), and also a higher value on the low end cards due to the
1x Complete base Set $15
9x Parrallel $2ea = $18
9x Parrallel Gold $4ea = $36
5x Elite Pennants $7ea = $35
2x 2014 Club Champions $10ea = $20
2x Young Guns $40ea = $80
2x Elite Quads $60 ea = $120
1x Young Gun Signatures $70
1x Ltd Edition MOJO Team Set $300
1x Road to Final Jersey $250
1x Road to Final Jersey Signature $600
1x All Stars / Indigenous 2015 $150
1x Case Card $60
Total being $1754, $1154 without the Sig jersey.
I don't know maybe I am way off with pricing, obviously the market will decide that once the release hits, but I'm just feeling a bit confused on the comments around a team set for this series costing thousands....
Think a lot are feeling the same way mate.I have been collecting footy cards since 1982. Religiously collecting them - RL and cricket. There's never been a time when I wasn't hunting cards or stickers except in the 1998/99 post SL/post Dynamic world.
But this year, my faith has sorely been tested in regards to RL.
I don't even know if having made commitments to buy some Elite 2015 if I'm just doing it out of some misplaced loyalty to the hobby and going through the motions.
To be honest, if Elite 2015 didn't get released, I don't think it would bother me one single bit.
This is probably a very self-indulgent whine, and not reflective of the hobby at all, but for me, I think this is the end of my collecting RL cards as I do. I think it will be back to a couple of common sets and f*** the rest.
Sorry if I have brought this thread down.
