MY IDEAL 2016 ELITE (Mock-sell-sheet)
Commons (144)
This common base set still a nine-full pocket style set but this time printed on a color applicable to each team rather than plain gray for all. Therefore, the common base set might speak for itself a little more unlike previous series since 2013.
Box-hit insets
Auckland Nines (144); 1:2 packs
A set like this to replace usual low-end parallels. Each player different to the common base cards.
Elite Silvers (80); 1:4 packs
This set to depict five of the nine players from the common base set however this time with the following:
*Different photos wherever possible
*Different design format to common, i.e. printed on silver board not to cheesy looking
*Interesting trivia stats on rear of card, therefore different rear profile to commons
Elite Golds (64); 1:6 packs
This set to depict four of the nine players from the common base set, excluded from the Silvers. In fact same design and format to Elite Silvers except the silver components to be gold implied instead, not to mention all different players to the ES therefore attracting more interest to collectors as if there would be one parallel set yet interesting still in terms of 5 common players depicted for silver and the remaining 4 depicted for gold.
Young Gun Black (48); 1:12 packs
Yes, the unsigned version of YG to return to 2016 with the following hopefully improved conditions:
*3 players per club, each card individually numbered to 260
*Holy-foil NRL clip on rear of each card as if a high-end.
*Printed on black board irrespective of club colors though panels to appear denoting each club depiction
Young Gun Gold (32); 1:24 packs
For the first time, one YG signature card to appear in every box with the following hopefully improved conditions:
*2 players per club, each card individually numbered to 195
*Holy-foil NRL clip on rear of each card as usual
*Printed on gold foil board allowing room for the signature panel and lets say back to the good-old-black ink!
Then 1 Case-hit card per box;
Case-hit insets
League Sensations (16); 1:72 packs
LS cards to be reinstated this year replacing the YGS hit ration slot. All 16 players different to 2013 and 2014 Elite series and probably SAS series wherever possible. As usual, individually numbered to 130 and lets assume back to good-old-black ink!
Mojo Redemption -- PEARL (16); 1:72 packs
A redemption card to appear in 3:10 boxes minus an LS Signature. Each card individually numbered to 130 and will redeem a nine-card holy foil team set depicting the same players from the commons with the following differences:
*Third lot of photos different to common base as well as Elite Silver and Gold sets
*Different background comprising an eye-catching electric pale blue foil background (replicating a pearl, a ranking just below ruby being the original mojo pack color)
*Each team-set simultaneously and individually numbered to 130 in sync to original serial number of pulled redemption card
*Holy-foil NRL clip on rear of each card as usual plus photos repeating on rear to a smaller scale implied with a large club logo, therefore refer to lower-end sets for profiles and stats
Young Gun Platinum (16); 1:168 packs
This inset to replace the All Star set from 2015 Elite with following traits
*1 player per club, (perhaps one left out from lower-end signature?), each card individually numbered to 65.
*Holy-foil NRL clip on rear of each card as usual and signatures to be in different color to black if proven to be pulled off well
*Printed on silver foil board, replicating platinum allowing room for the signature panel and lets say black ink if blue or green proven unsuitable
Mojo Pack -- RUBY (16); 1:237 packs
Same as pearl mojo set but again, this hit-ratio version to be pulled straight from pack like last year with following traits
*Third lot of photos different to common base as well as Elite Silver and Gold sets though same as Pearl set
*Same background as Pearl set except this time an eye-catching ruby red foil background (replicating a ruby and YES at least different to commons and silver and gold depictions)
*Each team-set simultaneously and individually numbered to 40
*Holy-foil NRL clip on rear of each card as usual plus photos repeating on rear to a smaller scale implied with a large club logo, therefore refer to lower-end sets for profiles and stats
League Sensation Special (8); 1:240 packs
This set based on the LS signature series however this version unsigned, placed by a jersey patch and restricted to LS signatures whom played finals in 2015. This set arguable equivalent to last years' Road to Finals jersey cards however all 8 finalist players to be of higher profile than last years' four depictions. Each card individually numbered to 75.
League Sensation Special Parallel (8); 1:720 packs
Exactly the same as above with different background color and individually numbered to 25.
