Official TLA Traders Cricket 2020/21 Official Thread (updated 10/9)

Order of the top 10s looks a bit weird, I think they have mixed the top 10 between the men’s and women’s, maybe they should be the top 5 for men and women in each category to make it look a bit cleaner
 
156 cards in a set at one per box will be a fair effort for anyone to put that together let alone all the other inserts, and there is still the priority inserts no one is talking about....

No one is talking about priority inserts because no one has any idea how they are going to work with this release.
 
Hey guys, sorry for what could be an obvious question but will the signature chase cards be individually hand signed, or will it just a print of the player's signature? New to to card collecting so wanted to know before going all out. Cheers

Both versions are available in the product. There's the authentic on-card Signatures and then a Foil Signature parallel version.
 
Will be very interesting how much buzz will surround this release once it drops ?
I'm meaning outside the hardcore collectors on here etc.
Two signature cards per case could be an issue though.

Totally agree with only 2 sigs per case being a worry, and no patch cards. With only 2 legend sigs to chase and one of them probably isn't high on anyone's want list, probably not ideal. Time will tell i guess. Is anyone going to attempt to put a master set together? I don't think there will be too many trying to do it with so much going on in this release.
 
I'm expecting to see a bit of a resurgence in Cricket Cards.

With Dominance, Prestige, Elite and Traders all now selling for twice the original box price on the secondary market, it's a great opportunity to stay involved in the hobby at a much cheaper entry point.

Based on our pre-orders, the demand has been quite high and with the strong support shown by Ovato and Caltex around the country, it should receive a bit of attention.

Are you f***ing kidding me??? Legend sigs, no matter who they are, are exactly that - LEGENDS.
BC is one of the greatest cricketers of all time, and her commitment & contribution to cricket (Australia, Vic, NSW and internationally) on and off the field is beyond reproach. When the men’s team went to poop with sandpaper gate, who did they turn to for a change in culture? The women’s players and legends.

Here’s a little recap of Belinda Clark....
First double centurion (in either men’s or women’s format) in ODI’s, Highest Australian score of 229* in an ODI, multiple World Cup wins, record holder of captaincy appearances for AUST, has over 4800 runs in ODI’s, Wisdens cricketer of the year, an OAM and inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame...
...and that’s just a snippet of the achievements and most of this in a time where women were not sponsored, paid their own way for travel, equipment and expenses and didn’t have access to sporting leave. It was cricket or the job. A true legend and pioneer of the game, her values align with the tradition and soul of the baggy green, the crest on her chest and the love of the game of cricket, not the $$$ or the fame.

If you don’t think her signature card is of any value, I’ll gladly take them off your hands for the zero figure you clearly put on it...

You love jumping on your high horse don’t you 😂
So if you read what I said, I never said she wasn’t a legend, just that only 2 legend sigs in this release, and you show me someone under the age of 25 who even knows who she is. Having big names who people know will drive sales. Can you point out exactly the moment I said it will be a worthless card? I’m struggling to see where I said any such thing. If you want to argue please don’t just make things up and use actual facts. You don’t need to jump down my throat because I have a differing opinion to you, just disagree and move on 👍
 
Nothing worse in the past than having your "hit" be a women's player that nobody has heard of.
