Dont no why every one is B**ching about these cards, people have asked for signature cards which they have, signatures from better players like greg inglis and cameron smith which they have done and they also have done game worn jersey cards. Something different too
How many years would it take Select to release sigs of all the quality players that have one in this set (from the looks of it)? Might be waiting about ten years!!!
their gonna have a stall at a card show soon. Might be a good idea if an OZcard mod have a meet and greet with them!!! they wont be able to run away!!!
Idris, Prince, Bird and Bailey All Stars cards
Harrison, Bird and Myles State Of Origin
It also means having to chase the high end Titans insert Jamal Signed Jersey card and that means $$$$. I had better start selling some of my memorabillia
The question is who will miss out. With only 72 cards in the set.... There is 17 players in the Kangaroos, 17 players in the Kiwis, 17 Maroons, 17 Blues, 20 Indigenous and 20 NRL All Stars. That makes 108 cards required to make a complete representative compliment.
I'm with the train of thought that this is a bit of an ad-hoc 'gap filler' for ESP, though with some effort in terms of securing sigs and patches. Has the feel of a 'series 3' like Dynamic used to do - but with way better inserts.
I like the concept of the six captain sigs from various rep teams, and it is nice to see Origin related trading cards again.
May change once the cards are in hand, but going from this ad, I'm drinking GIRDS' kool aid on the designs. There just doesn't seem to be a concept beyond 'clearcut the players in front of stainless steel texture'. If you are going to go the photoshop route on card design, at least incorporate elements of the game - ie, baseball - shape of the diamond etc. By the looks of these cards, the player should be playing Speedball II not rugby league.
Sellsheet will give better indication of what we're dealing with.
