Love the release. Yes it is overwhelming , but you don’t need all your PC Cards yesterday and at once. Doesn’t have to be sprint. There’s no reason why collectors can’t take their time and enjoy the cards as they go. As well as it’ll be cheaper as time goes on for most cards at least. To give perspective, north Melbourne and most teams in 2019 had 20 cards, about 7/8 sigs. Now 5 years later it’s 60-65 cards and 20-25 signatures.
I only pc 2 players and they have 12 cards combined. Archer had signed 3 types of select cards since 97, now he has signed another 3 in one release, I’m stoked. I think having a non sig version of the franchise futures and greats is bit over kill as they’re exact same picture. I think the commons are great as they’re 3 different types n pictures and shorter in print compare to 2021 being exact same and high in print. I am interested to see where the individual prices sit, should be in favour of the buyer, as most are team collectors and won’t be able to pay overs for each card when there’s 60 odd to get. I think with the saturation of cards, it’ll drive price down. Select gotta be careful they don’t too similar to nba, as too much saturation of patch cards and particular cards will drive price down hard. 2019 prices were likely so high because there wasn’t many to get and not as saturated.
Also is anyone else curious how select got over 70 odd match worn jumpers and not only 70 but all high end players? The 3 players on triple patch then 1 patch player who doesn’t feature on the triple ( larkey, ldu, sheezel on triple then ldu booklet and ldu, Simpkin patch)
I guess if select are selling 4800 boxes at $900 a pop they can afford the jumpers, but just curious if auction or through club. I am interested to see the larkey patch as I am up to 7 larkey jumpers myself and Wonder if they outbid me on an auction. 2021 boxes reached 1.9k on secondary in the long run then these will be well over 2k in the long run.
Overall very happy and excited. I’ll be collecting larkey n archer cards, especially jumper numbers. Pm if see any. Interested to hear others thoughts.
