NRL 2016 ESP Elite Official Thread (Checklist Up Pg 36)

[bigrob2307]

At the end of the day, no release is good enough for everyone as it seems!

2014 Elite was right up there for me. Sure too many cards but enjoyed the 2 different sigs and WCHP (just needed to be numbered)

It was mentioned to me the other day that they are working on a release for 2018 which was a good insight in to how far ahead they look in terms of the cards they produce.

Can we just go easy on the frickin' parallels please ESP. Also how about some decent insert concepts relating more to the sport of rugby league like Select and Dynamic used to do. The design of some of last year's low end inserts were ordinary too. And dang nammit I still want more commons per team!!!

 

[saintsforever]

Some nice ideas but way too many variances of the same concept and way too many cards!

agree BRENDAN, way to many bloody parallels again.

A few things I would like to see:

• Jerseys return, however be more common and @ 1 per team
• Case hits be dual/triple/quad signatures.
• Ball memorabilia cards with the 2 teams that played showcased on the front and things like Dally M votes on the back
• Other memorabilia - ref jerseys, goal post pads, boots etc.. lots of possibilities here
• Every box MUST have a signature in it, top prospect type stuff - NO REPEATS from the last few years

However my guess is that none of these will come true....

Great ideas, I saw so many goal post pads just lying around in belmore which were used against the raiders.

Welcome to $12.99 a pack.

1 parallel set and esp are sweet

Nonetheless, would certainly NOT be surprised should the 2016 Elite sell sheet be anything similar to my own one posted in this forum so far. Must say though, ESP really does need to reinstate and up the signature content in the actual release in second thoughts, to bring back the bang-for-ya-buck.

Jarrah, from the last set I do not see how they can keep going with the amount of numbered cards and signature cards.
Did you get a master set, if so how much did you spend to get it.
16 sig cards @ average say 150--- 2400
6 duos say 200----1000
2 legends 200----400
all other cards say 800
all together 4600 and that would be on the cheapest side not including any postage.
and this set is supposed to entertaining kids into collecting.
what the hell are they going to do with elite 2016.
if they are going to up the anty compared with last year, you could be looking at 15k.

 

[stormernumber1]

for everyones sake lets hope they produce something amazing

 

[Brendan_B]

They need to because there is no way that price is coming down!

 

[joeyhonson]

Cant remember where I heard it exactly (it was a while ago), but I am of the belief that the price of 2016 Elite will be down on last year.....

I already have raised the concept on this forum that they should drop the price back to $6 per pack and reinstate a series similar to that of 2013 and 2014 Elites but the reality is, I can not really seeing that occur. Was only trying to explain some exceptional ideas should 2016 Elite still remain $9 like last year.

Your Ideas are bad

How bout immortal redemption signatures limited to only 40

How bout immortal redemption signatures limited to only 40

Yes but, its not like 2016 is any important year. Perhaps we can wait till 2058, and hope that whichever company at that time goes nuts on the cards to celebrate 150 years. Unless we get an immortal this year, then that will be a good idea.

 

[Delta]

Or perhaps a common base set with signature panels similar to stirmorol and also with the proper background instead of the vibrant colours.
