Like I said Im not going to engage with you on this.Yep completely agree........I am just still struggling to understand why people think they should be entitled to more that what was promised in return of the 16 predictors?

NoCan I ask why?

Well put mateI need to add that I don’t expect anything more back from TLA/ESP. Just a 9 card set that is of value to a set limited to /20 and finished off nicely.
I work closely to the print industry and I tell you right now I could reproduce these cards within a week with the contacts I have and quite cheaply too.
There is nothing limited to them. Not even a hologram sticker. Not even a foil stamp. Not even a nice card or board stock. My business card is about 4 times the thickness and of a much better premium quality.
Easy for people to say we got what was promised (when you don’t have these cards in hand) and yes we did. However it is of a substandard quality, No attention to detail, poor finish (no foil stamp (numbering) no hologram sticker etc etc.
They have printed these the wrong grain direction (they are flimsy). I just compared the /20 card to a FOTG game card from 2017 Traders and the FOTG card is sturdier.
These have been rushed with no attention to detail. Like I said above I could reproduce these cards in less then 2 weeks within a normal production environment.
Again just my 2 cents and again I don’t need anything. Just customer service and a product showing its quality of being limited. So again to those without seeing one in hand are probably not in the best position to make an accurate judgement on how I recieved my cards and how my experience with TLA/ESP was.
I’m just an unhappy collector of footy cards we all love collecting.

agree and disagree. I thought I read that @Matt26 said they did do the /20 set to increase sales. I may be wrong.Regardless of how poor the finished product is I don't think the /20 set was a set up by ESP to sell more product.
ESP have had many faults and will continue to but are always improving. The 20 card set was an afterthought after the initial complaints about the predictor set. They only did this to try and save face for a poorly thought out concept.
Lastly, let's not lose sight if the fact that they are only cards, colorful bits of cardboard with footy players on them! First world problems!!!
I get that those who spent up big to put a set together spent up big but that was their choice and the ordinary looking set is unfortunate but that's life!!
Shaun, at some stage we all shafted, at least you can say you have the number 1 set.agree and disagree. I thought I read that @Matt26 said they did do the /20 set to increase sales. I may be wrong.
Look I was always going to get all predictor cards (Im addicted to footy cards lol) but if this was what I knew I was going to receive I would have done what many others predicted and buy them for a much lower price, then have my say and laugh now as you are not missing out on anything. Mind you I did get the 01/20 set.
I guess we just had higher expectations and feel a little let down. It has been suggested TLA were more concerned with pumping sales than taking care of collectorsYep completely agree........I am just still struggling to understand why people think they should be entitled to more that what was promised in return of the 16 predictors?

check out the marvel set thread.Remember being a kid (way back in 94), saving your hard earned coins, jumping on the pushie to the corner store to buy cards. And the mind blowing excitement when you pulled a 'gold' card. Best feeling in the world! You just lost your s*** at how awesome the universe was.
Checking the mailbox daily the last few weeks I had the same anticipation. Then I got those cards. That's why I'm disapointed. I still like that I have a limited 1 of 20 set (with no hologram, so anyone can print off a set) but they just ain't cool.

Its called bait and switch
Brendan, that should only apply to the storm predictor as that is the only winning team and esp said they would collate the numbers on a data base.How long have you been collecting mate?
Any cards that are sent for redemption are hole punched so the redemption can't be used again. This is a very standard practice.

Therefore the other predictors should not be whole punched.
