I to missed out on both drops. Then found myself having a laugh, more at what the hobby has grown into.. I miss the old days of casually buying loose packs or grabbing boxes when ever the urge came up.Sitting here refreshing the page, then asked myself what is wrong with me and moved on with my life. All this trying for beautiful, sweet cardboard.
I also missed out got to finishing credit card payment when closed out - notice ridiculous prices on e bay and how coem some hae more than 4 boxes?? I am not a savvy IT person and have been collecting Select cards since 1994 - it is getting harder as each year goes by - at least as a SCC member I got one box - perhaps Select can change things so an SCC member can get more than 1 box. I share your views on old days. I actually collect with a view to passing on to son and he is going to pass on to grandson.I to missed out on both drops.

I guess life just be like that..but hey, the money saved will now go towards obtaining the individual cards I desire.
This must be directed at me as I think I am the only one who has mentioned kids in this thread..Please no one take this the wrong way as this is purely my opinion only, but I read so many people’s comments about missing out and their kids are really disappointed. This product isn’t actually aimed at pleasing kids, that’s what Footy Stars and to a curtain extent Prestige are for.
I reckon it started to change about 2015 to 2017 . I remember I could ring Steve at Cardzone and order a couple of boxes with the knowledge I could get some more in the following weeks or months. Then once Select started to grow their site it just took off. As I said there are positives and negatives to this. I honestly believe another card company could come in now.I to missed out on both drops. Then found myself having a laugh, more at what the hobby has grown into..

We were late to the party with footy stars as we weren’t in a position to purchase any when they were available. When we had some funds available they were sold out in SA. We also missed out on prestige as it sold out fast. I know they are not aimed at children but the kids have were getting really excited about finally being able to rip some packs open as they love the footy. It’s my fault , as I probably gave them false hope that we would score a box. Also now that all the store that sell them look like they aren’t going to be selling boxes, it’s just a little disappointing.
It has been a leaning experience for us.
I’m sorry if I came across the wrong way in my initial comment.
To be fair, there are those who use their kids to guilt others into giving them stuff (cards/boxes) etcNot just you mate, I’ve read very similar comments in Facebook groups too. Don’t take it personally. Shame your kids haven’t had the chance yet but fingers crossed Footy Stars next year will be their chance to bust.
I saw recetnly on card authority review of optimum that a year ago Select introduced SCC with a view to having 1000 SCC memebrs - in fact they got around 800 so if that is the case then offering more than one box to SCC members would not preclude general public from getting boxes - but also watch over next month or so how many group breaks there indicatign some places must have cases of optimum - one thing has indeed occurred with vocid and lockdowns and that is "collecting" on many things have increased.I would support the SCC getting get more boxes, because obvs I am a SCC member and it takes the stress out of the public releases.
Won't happen though, as Supremacy would be completely sold out
Yeah I watched the CA stream and was shocked that only 800 people took the option to join.I saw recetnly on card authority review of optimum that a year ago Select introduced SCC with a view to having 1000 SCC memebrs - in fact they got around 800 so if that is the case then offering more than one box to SCC members would not preclude general public from getting boxes - but also watch over next month or so how many group breaks there indicatign some places must have cases of optimum - one thing has indeed occurred with vocid and lockdowns and that is "collecting" on many things have increased.
Maybe in the future they will have an exclusive SCC series and if no one purchases their allocation it will go to the general public. Say 1000 boxes produced 1 for each member. I reckon there wouldn’t be too many left over.I would support the SCC getting get more boxes, because obvs I am a SCC member and it takes the stress out of the public releases.

Checklist said 8400 boxes, theoretically would have been 4200 per drop but because of the SCC members that would reduce it by a bitDoes anyone know how many select sell on their 2 drops they did yesterday?
Where the stated 8400 boxes were produced (700 cases), a portion (half? more/less who knows, well Select knows) go from Select to Select’s distributor (prior to the public releases) then that distributor controls/decides which dealers or retail outlets or online traders get (from that portion) how many cases and/or boxes (this is from an email with Select, not a claim, a fact, but take from it what you will).Checklist said 8400 boxes, theoretically would have been 4200 per drop but because of the SCC members that would reduce it by a bit

My purely speculative guess would be somewhere around 1000 boxes in each drop, although in any case for the second drop Select might have considered less due to prices that appeared on eBay...
