NRL Traders 2025 Official Thread

First impression is same ole Traders really. A lot of dead space on the base designs, and shame there's not a blade of grass to be seen on any of them. Would much rather the images depict them playing footy on a footy field. Bugs me that they use "The Converters" when it's a term not used in rugby league at all.
The Fan Faves cards look nice, and pleased to see the demise of authentic initials - though there was legitimate potential to do a set themed on players synonymous with their initials; DWZ, CNK, SJ etc.

Converters is absolutely used in terms of goalkicking - "conversion attempts" etc, which given Reynolds as the featured card, the % in the corner and being 1 per team is definitely what the subset is based off.

Pretty standard affair for traders as usual, not too much to complain about. Remains to be seen if they ever fix the much complained about predictor problems
 
select is back?

Select back at the table with TGI, maybe Fanatics and another local company, not sure of name.

Anyway, if the rumours are true, Select have lost AFL to Fanatics from 2026 as the AFL want one company to produce all their merchandise, cards etc.

So, Select don’t have a product after this year and they haven’t sold or indicated they have closed up shop so the rumour is they have the NRL and Cricket.

So, you might see an extra release or two this year from TGI but if the rumours are true, Select are back from 2026.
 
Wayne Pearce as one Legend 👍.I wonder if Matt26 has any inside information who the other is.
And any idea on price on boxes and packs 🤔.
Just by looking at the sell sheet, there is something there for everyone.
For me it will be the retirement cards.

Last year it was an older player (Lamb) and a more recent player (Webke).

If they continue with that theme, and considering the HOF list, maybe Clyde, Lazarus, Lockyer?
 
Unsure if it's a question that's frowned upon but just genuinely interested if there is much margin made on the sale of a box retail?

I've only recently come across box breaks on Facebook where some look to be making a fair margin. There can't be much to be made on a retail sale?
