Future Force 2017

Ausjedi · Oct 20, 2017

Hey All,

Now that the trade period is over, its time to focus on the Draft and the Future Force release.

There is talk about a case hit signature card ##/15

So there "may" be signatures of ###/200 - ##/40 - ##/15 for each player + other inserts.

If you hear anything, release dates, etc, post it here.

Hi Brad
It is only a rumour at this stage but there has been the word around for a while that there will be a 3 tier signature series.
Select are trying to get the price back into the future force sigs as they hit the floor last year and never recovered.
Lets hope the case hits turn the prices around like the influentials did in the certified series.

Hi Jimmy,

Completly agree, bring back the gold pen signature!

Hope the rumour is true...

Should find out in the coming weeks.

back2backpremiers · Oct 20, 2017

I like the gold sigs but they fade badly even when kept out of the sun, apparently its the temperature so you need to keep them below 10c i am told.
The best colour to sign cards in is dark blue, as you know all us cards are signed in blue.
The black 'sharpi' pens used on select sigs leaves a yellow shadow around the signature after 10 years or so.
I dont know much about this technical stuff but came across a research paper released by 'sharpie' pens and thats what got the blue sigs starting in the US many years back now.
Anyone else got any more info on pen colours and or preferred sig colours?

Gold ink was ceased as FAIK due to potential smudging of the poska style ink - players had this habbit of placing one card over the top of an other and often causing them to stick - that's why they have not to be seen since 2013.

ElijahCraigHyde · Oct 28, 2017

This is how I think it could go:

Gold /200 - Gold foil as usual - black ink
Platinum /40 - Silver foil as usual - black ink
Titanium /15 - Metallic blue foil - blue ink

back2backpremiers · Oct 28, 2017

titanium blue that has a nice sound to it and blue ink would suit, and last forever too.

If it was fact it will be the most loaded box for under 100 dollars you will ever get lol but the runours are there will be sigs numbered to /25, /40, /200 similiar to rajnbows

drama5 · Nov 7, 2017

And rising star doesnt make much sense as it is just as likely that the award will go to a non deftee already in the systen

yes, I know. I'm part of the same fb group as you. Just wanted to point out since the above user always 'speculates' but is never close to the mark.

Ok, awesome... just need a checklist.

Looking forward to some fresh designs, "hopefully" a big step up from last year, with nicely designed sigs and a case hit.

drama5 · Nov 8, 2017

Interesting, hopefully the runours are true and the product reflects the price rise.

Always happy to pay more if the products quality and value warrants that invrease. Cant wait for a preview

Festa1234 · Nov 10, 2017

This looks good

thePACisback · Nov 10, 2017

Ooooh this looks good

BLOWN8 · Nov 10, 2017

Looks ok, just haven't got keen for Future Force this year. Will still buy a box or two so i can put a set away like i do every year. Wish they used a different colour pen for the green foil sigs, that's just my opinion but i liked the green pens used in 2014. The resale price on signatures from previous years is really poor, hopefully this year it picks back up. Can't even sell last years for $12 each. The sigs say they are 1:18, with 20 packs per box, does that mean some boxes will have 2 signature???
