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

[ElijahCraigHyde]

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.

This is really good news - must say I really like the idea of making an extra-value every 3 years and a simple one each two years in between - ah now we're talking! Also I must say I LIKED the WCHP cards NOT being numbered meaning every one of the 80 cards per copy was a 001 card IMO.

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

It's not 1990

 

[Delta]

It's not 1990

But still, It will be better for ip collectors whereas not pissing off normal collectors too much. I'm pretty sure we will all agree that the 2015 pieces of the puzzle were better than this years pieces as they were a lot more simpler and had a grey backdrop.

Heard $1 PP price drop, much more availability in newsagents again like 13/14 and less for the hobby side.

Hearing really big set, lots of new ideas with some very low numbered chase cards

Is that good or bad?

 

[Brendan_B]

Depends on what type of collector you are.

 

[RisingSun]

how about an elite signature redemption series where you are present at the actual signing of your card.... (airfare, accomodation, and gameday experience included in redemption prize). 16 signatures - only 10 of each

not really a 2016 Elite rumour by what the heck I think trhat would be cool

 

[Lonhro]

Packs should include a stick of chewy

the rumour i heard was so god damn bad

I hope they are that bad everyone stays away from them and they get stuck with the lot

 

[Brendan_B]

As always the product will cop a hiding from some prior to release but the same people will still buy the product and will jump for joy if they have some mojo

 

[Angry]

Yeah I'm sure we will but surely everyone is sick of the way there doing things, and what they do to curtain suppliers ? I bet there will be no hint of a spread sheet. Again either

 

[Brendan_B]

Yep they have deficiencies, that most of us can agree upon. Unfortunately they have the license and are the only option so I tend to prefer more constructive feedback so that I can still enjoy the hobby

 

[Delta]

I want those shitty promo cards.

 

[shane_sharks]

has any esp product held value yet?

 

[saintsforever]

has any esp product held value yet?

plain and simple.
NOOOOOOOO

 

[shane_sharks]

smh

 

[Croz]

Would love a barba league sensation and bird young gun signature card! Or dual Fifita signature card

 

[Brendan_B]

has any esp product held value yet?

Not really.

13 Traders signatures seem to go well but that is because there is so much unopened product. I think the 13 LS are very under priced also.

In saying that the price on all NRL cards is right down. Dynasty, one of the most popular releases ever is struggling to get $20 for Top Prospects (Johnson and Woods aside).

 

[Brendan_B]

Further to my last about card prices being down a full set of 06 Accolade including both signatures, Trios, Hot Property, Footy Faces with some cards IP signed just cracked $300. The signatures alone should be worth more than that!
