Some footy players are really simple creatures. I’m actually surprised he didn’t finger paint his cards instead.

That's a bit harsh mate, textas can be tricky. He might not even have his pen licence yet.

Hi everyone,

Please see the update below from TLA:

We have taken on board a lot of feedback from our collectors in relation to the box cards in the 2018 Elite release.

The Box Card in the Elite 2018 release is a 10th common card as outlined on the check list. The cards are rare and have proven hard for collectors to find and therefore complete a base set. It has also been bought to our attention that some of the boxes are missing the box cards (which we are investigating with our factory).

To help rectify this TLA would like to offer all collectors the opportunity to secure a box card by sending into TLA 24 empty packets of Elite 2018. TLA are happy to take requests from collectors as to which Box Card they would like to receive back, however this offer is while stock lasts and it remains at TLA’s sole discretion as to which Box Cards are returned to our collects. We will of course try and accommodate everyone’s request as best we can.

Going forward two changes will be made to the box cards insert series.

• Firstly the box card will no longer we a 10th Common Card instead the card will be unique design as a special insert.

• The box cards will no longer be loosely inserted into the boxes as they are now, instead the box card will be inserted into a single packet contained within each box subject to (ratios cannot be guaranteed)

The empty packets should be send to:

TLA Worldwide
Suite 101 to 103
22 to 36 Mountain Street
Ultimo 2007
Attention NRL Card Customer Service

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our passionate collectors for their feedback we look forward to building bigger and better releases in 2019.

How bout they just print a heap more of these common cards so everyone can have common sets ???

Paul_Ambrey · Aug 21, 2018

That,s a bit late in there offering.I have thrown about 150 wrappers away already.Nice one Terry.

Have those esteemed enough to hear from TLA had any feedback about the Afoa signature?

I can understand that Afoa has made an error and sent back the batch in silver, and that that would cost to rectify, but I am struggling to see how that becomes the collector's burden. A statement of acknowledgment would be appreciated at the very least.

I know now that as a community we are all team collectors it is easy to look at what your team is dished up only, but at some stage it could be your team that gets served something sub-standard.

Did you receive any feedback on the RTS player in focus.....

i really liked the idea of the boxcard/shortprint/rare card I also like the risk TLA took to try something different and whilst it seems that the risk didn't make people that happy atleast they are trying to provided them through a different avenue

Rocket1908 · Aug 21, 2018

24 packs for one card is a bit steep. You only needed to send in 10 to get the /500 limited edition Hayne and 15 for a sig? And these are supposed to be commons?

Lucky I saved my wrappers.

But there is 24 packs in a box and one box cards per box.......

Do you think if i sent my receits from all the newsagencys i visited,that would be good enough.

Because the dealers that bust 20 cases will more then likely have most of them by now?

Missing Hinges · Aug 22, 2018

Looking for 384 wrappers and 15 accomplices...

The day has finally come, you can't even make up a frickin common card set without buying caseloads. My cheaparse worst fears. At least they have made an early call on it and fixed it for next year, which is commendable.

Sharky · Aug 24, 2018

does anyone have any idea when the Futera code for collectors site will get updated?

TLA never cease to amaze me. Well done on making sure your product sells out. 1st, let newsagents sell stock before dealers, a sure sale for those that CANT wait. Then after many collectors pay through the nose, & in my opinion not a problem if cards are limited (281 of each box card). Now they will just hand them out for 24 empty packets. God knows how many complete sets will now be out there.

You guys are too clever for me!!!

The jersey even looks fake lol

No Doubt · Aug 27, 2018

I’m not a Parra fan but can someone perhaps explain why the jersey patch comes in 2 different shades of yellow / gold like the attached examples or is this normal for that particular jersey?

The top one is from the jersey number. Bottom is from the sleeve sponsor or stripes I think.

Thanks guys. I just googled the back of the jersey and the number Myer seems to match the jersey colour exactly. Seems weird?
