I believe him not being in the NRL this year complicates that.

I'm sure that the reason the players on the Retirement cards in Traders make it in is because the release is signed off on before the new year.

I don't fully buy that reason. As the Dally M was done before the end of the year and I also believe before Hayne left for the NFL. Also correct me if I am wrong but the album card since ESP has taken over has always been the Dally M winner so why wasn't it signed off after he won or where they thinking they might do a different album card this year.

Its also a pity that the other two jersey cards are no name players..........

If what i am seeing and hearing so far about Elite is right then how the hell do they justify the pricing.

Mojo pack

It is disappointing given that Hayne won it jointly with Thurston, and it would of added value to the card.

Hayne and Thurston on the same card is a no brainer - it presents as a missed opportunity.

I think a card each would have been good. God knows we are not running short on Thurston cards! I'm personally not a fan of joint team cards. A few years back I added the ashley graham/ben barba try score card to the collection, and I didn't like that much! Lol.

Mojo pack might be what makes this release.

Let's hope it is as good as everyone is making out.

You can never have too many of a future immortal !!

Sounds like JT might be the 16 Elite folder card also! Some betting agencies already paying out on him.

Brendan_B · Jul 23, 2015

I really hope the Mojo pack are different images to the base cards and base level parallels. Unfortunately I don't think this will be the case

My understanding was that they are another parallel set, albeit extremely limited and serial numbered.
Can't say I'm that excited by the Mojo Pack innovation. Suppose it depends on what they actually look like.
Jersey cards are the big drawcard for me.

ESP certainly have many ideas and credit where credit is due they always have a few new and fresh ideas with every release. This is where Select fell down at times IMO, they kept rehashing the same tired ideas, particularly at Champions level. In saying that I feel the overall collectibility and value is better with Select. I really hope this release proves many wrong, mostly for the sake of the hobby.

I have more than my fair share (x3)! Sometimes I think I'd prefer another player, just because there is always Thurston cards.

I'm hoping there is a cowboys jersey card. And I know it'll be a low end player. So it'll settle at a decent price!

That album card looks like a telegraph card to me. I wonder what card stock it is printed on?

And just because I don't think it has been mentioned yet; $8.99.....

I am looking forward to a Warriors mojo set though. I was also really looking forward to a Sam Tomkins LS, but unfortunately that is not happening. I would have preferred to lose the YGs over the LSs personally although it is exciting to see whether the YG players will turn into the next immortal.

He is still being paid by the Eels so therefor wouldn't some form of contract be registered with the NRL and as a result we could of had a dual or second album card.

$8.99 seems ridiculous to me.....it's plain and simple gauging.

Remember the days you'd buy a paper a couple of packs of cards for under a tenner.

I think the Jersey cards are a great idea if they are done correctly ....The player selection may be the biggest issue with some of the Jersey cards this year....

Some teams the selection will be justified but others will leave people wondering

The album card looks cheap and nasty

As for the pricing $8.99 someone said that they expected to be sold out upon release date. Sounds like they aren't charging enough then? Hopefully next year it will be $10.99 pack.

Noark-99 · Jul 23, 2015

I think the jersey cards are more about availability rather than choice. By choice they would choose Thurston, Gallen, Smith.... Instead I think it's more of a "here's what we have, take it or leave it".

Muzza · Jul 23, 2015

So they'll be more than double the price of Traders per pack, but with the top-heavy numbered box hits and the massive low-end insert sets, are we going to get twice the value?
Box & case buyers will get their hits and fill their sets (eventually) but what chance has a pack buyer got?
