NRL 2018 Elite Discussion Thread

OK, so every single card in the 2018 Elite series will be stamped MS 5/5 on the reverse for the Golden ticket Master Set. If you were to purchase Master Set #3 then every card would be stamped MS 3/5 on the reverse. That's from the common cards right through to the higher end cards inclusive.
 
Wonder if I should try and brave the ambition of planning this master set? (lol) I did it back in 2014 and took me almost 3 years to complete! Whoever says I should try and buy one of those 4 dealer's editions is a nutjob as pushing $20k up front I there's never an Earth I"ll be able to afford it! But this ones would look to take 3 decades perhaps? lol
 
In second thoughts you could arguably saying I'm off with the pixies as it's almost impossible to imagine this incoming master set complete from collecting loose cards!
 

Too late I've already planned to buy 1 random packet and get the golden ticket sorry
 
Huge set, seems to be the norm these days. Terrible for master set collectors but in reality can they even exist anymore with 1/1 inserts?

As always, some nice new innovative ideas, hopefully the change up in the YG and LS signatures might see them hold more value like they should.

The golden ticket is a good concept like the treasure redemption from 02 Challenge although there were multiple of those. Unfortunately, like the #1 redemption's in 14 Elite and the 1/1 Jersey cards it will likely be hit by those who open large amounts of stock, I can't really see a way around this. Perhaps a competition open to collectors to win a master set might be more effective?

The low end concepts are fresh, thought maybe the captains theme was getting a bit tired as there hasn't been a significant change up in captains since last season. I don't mind the ruby mojo at one per box, value adds for the average collector but will also promote hoarding of individual players.

All in all it looks to be another decent release
 
I wonder if the ruby mojos are going to be randomly inserted or will make a team out of a case? You would think they would have to be random?
