ESP Limited Edition 2013 (Info Updated 04/10/13)

Hey just want to know where you found the info about being a charity auction for all the # 1's...
Just would be good to be aware of it all when the auction goes to air..

We posted this info a few weeks ago in one of the ESP threads.

No doubt we will have the news up straight away when the auctions are going to happen!
 
anyone this will be my last comment on the matter, esp have turned me off cards all together, game worn jerseys are the way to go.

Dam - i was looking forward to your signed Traders common IP cards in March. Guess you wont be selling them.
 
I think it was mentioned previously by @Matt26 that #001's would be included in the release and ESP would make a #000 for their records.

Back when i spoke to Terry in the early days he said there were plans to include them. They held these Elite ones back to be auctioned off. The #1 Johns and Raper were inserted into products.
 
Just a thought, how many of these numbered cards fall into the hands of non-collectors? Potentially there could be number one's that wind up destroyed by some random kid. I think the auction is a great idea, if only to preserve these cards under the auspices of hard-core collectors.
Even though most of us "battlers" won't get a look in.
 
The 2013 ESP Roosters Premiers Collection has been delayed further. It is now due for release on the 18th of November. apparently they are not back from the printers yet
 
Here we go again it's not that hard to get there shit sorted? There not even interested in the realease dates at all
 
So the 2013 LE cards from ESP have been released and are available from Ikon. Unfortunately you have to purchase a case of 2012 LE cards to get the 33 card 2013 LE set. Anyone else think these are not going to sell out and according to OZCARD logic when the dealers get the sets and are lucky enough to say sell a case of 2012 LE even at a discounted price should they be expected to give away the 2013 LE set also..............lol

Wow. Great marketing.

Do they not realise last year how poor the sales were on the 2012 LE. Some genius has decided that to achieve sales of a new product they will attach them directly to an old product that flopped.

Another winner from the ESP Brains Trust.
 
Another interesting thought is that with Elite Sigs you are flatout getting 100 dollars now for a card numbered to 130......a card numbered to 167 is going to be a tuff sell......... So lets do the math, just under a grand for a 2012 LE case and a free 2013 LE set. Even if you sell the 2012 LE case for 750 who is going to pay nearly 300 for a 33 card set that has 1 sig......and Terry from ESP mentioned last year (when we were still talking) that these LE sets should fetch between 500 - 700 bills................LMFAO
