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

[collect94]

Maybe the black back ground is to ip prevent sigs?

No more IP sigs with a black background,

I actually think that these designs are very good, except for the background as mentioned before and the fact that '2016 Elite' takes up a third of the card when we already have a logo in the top left telling us who made the cards.[/QUOT
Too many bourbons.

or even the gold sharpies

gold on black i reckon will look sweet. Will give that a crack for sure

 

[RisingSun]

I think the sliver or gold will look sweet. If all else fails there is always the option of transparent labels.

Issue with the cards is the 2016 Elite Logo and wording above the players name takes up a prime IP real estate.

Maybe these may work if all else fails

I'd think the labels are a great idea, but wouldn't that be defacing a card? however, the Elite Logo is way two big and no point having one in the corner and one in the middle.

Getting them signed is defacing the card anyway

Yeh but how are you going to keep/sell a card with a sticker on it?

Never seen an NBA card?

 

[Delta]

No. But at least those nba cards would be official and the stickers would be official.

 

[Crazy eagle]

Are all the commons cards black?

 

[seano93]

Are all the commons cards black?

it would seem to be the case

Never been one to chase IP's, do you IP collectors do 2 sets one mint without scribbles the other IP's?

I collect ips and im really undecided about that.

 

[Angry]

I have always tryed collecting 2 of everything, one set unsigned the other signed! The higher end stuff is very hard to do it but lower end inserts Definitly

 

[MC_D]

Full sets would be hard. I have started doing just Broncos captains IP's going ok so far. Just common cards no high end stuff though need to track down Gene Miles and Gordie.

first time ive read this, should have paid more attention to the pics haha:

Another first in 2016 are Box Cards, a parallel of the case cards

 

[collect94]

How will the dark background prevent ips? Aren't silver sharpies fi

And limited to 2,000 of each. Oh well they'll make good bookmarks.

at least everyone who buys a box will get one for no extra cost and they havent tried to overdo it with 50 different players

Are they going to be one per box? Only 4,000 produced and 6,300 boxes. Might be like the case cards and not shipped to newsagents.
