also on the second page it mentions a printed flyer comes with the albums! Another step in the right direction!

And it may be a while before some teams get a patch card if its only finals teams.

I'm hearin' ya Troy

A Storm collector would be chasing:

1 1/1
1 1/20
1 1/40
1 1/50
4 1/100s
2 1/130s
1 1/200
1 1/350
many 1/5s if obtaining a master set

I believe it's 2 1/100's.

I believe it's 2 1/100's.

Ah yes. Read 4 players per team, but there is 2 players portrayed on each card.

Anyone know when the Newsagent Stockists list goes live? I plan on picking up my box from a Newsagent and I want to know which ones near me will have it before I go out to buy. 2014 and 2015 had completely different stockists in my area

A list of stockistss will be listed on there website, It's mentioned on the top right corner of the sell sheet

Alright. So this also means only 2 out of 3 cases and boxes have a box/case card?

Only guessing but would say the 230/240 cases without a case card will be broken for newsagency distribution. I guess this means the boxes newsagents receive also wont have a box card.

This is one of the reasons I would like to see ESP engage on the forum. Simple questions could be answered and save grief, how many people will grab a sealed box from the newsagents expecting a box card. Will ESP supply one if they produce a receipt?

I also hope we don't get a heap of non-collectors buying up big early to try and hit something to make money on and when they don't dumping their cards onto the secondary market dirt cheap!

Would participating in a case break be worth it? My mate is unwilling to take the risk, but can see some benefits which are better than buying packs ourselves

 

[bigrob2307]

Will there be starter packs for elite?

It really depends on what you are wanting from the release. If you are just chasing team inserts a team based case break could be a good option but then again you could miss out on a hit. If you buy loose packs you may get a good hit but you may not. If you are not sure what you want to collect I would save your $$$ and get a sealed box or two with your mate then you are generally guaranteed a hit or two

 

[Brendan_B]

Will there be starter packs for elite?

Doubtful, none last year

 

[bigrob2307]

Doubtful, none last year

Cheers mate, didnt collect last years release so wasnt sure

 

[Brendan_B]

I could be wrong but I got the impression elite starters are no more

 

[Mick2612]

ESP you wanted feedback here is mine these cards are simply outstanding

 

[Leith Holding]

Very disappointed in the 'vintage' commons though. Not the vintage look I was envisaging.

 

[saintsforever]

Just came across this about 2016 Elite anyone else seen it???

cannot open it, computer will not open any pdf at the moment.

 

[saintsforever]

For those that can't view pdf here it is in a different format

Jaede, thanks for showing, not a pdf user at the moment.
Did notice, that only 9 cards per pack, and ONLY 24 PACKS PER BOX.
Thats only a hobby box.

24 packs seems a little lackluster but there's also 1 guaranteed serial numbered card and a 42.5% at a second per box. Adding more packs could possibly cut the value you get.

Did anyone else notice how the signed Fifita patch card has part of the emblem showing? Probably just something left in during the mock-up of the design? Or will 1 card have part of the emblem due to them being unable to fit the whole emblem on the 1/1?

 

[CardHawk]

ESP have really stepped it up it this year. Looks fully loaded with plenty of inserts.

What are people's thoughts on 2 mojo sets? Both sets are still very limited but does this devalue the ruby set somewhat...

 

[shane_sharks]

Thanks for the leak George
Lmao@esp

Another Bonus is the gold parralells feature a different picture on them

Are you sure, is there a picture of a common and a parallel somewhere because on the flyer I see two different players.
