Those look niiiiiiice the actual numbering on the front of the card is a bit weird though

Interesting to see that the Greg Williams is Norm Smith Medal card #15.
I wonder how many the set will be - if you go in chronological order, 1995 was the 17th year of the medal being awarded.

They might just do one card for the dual winners, so that would explain Ayres, but McLeod and Hodge were after Williams so not sure about that.

yawn. get to the good stuff grant.

New preview, Norm Smith Medalist inserts numbered /65. A great idea but strange to have a medal card without an actual picture of the medal itself on the card.

Pretty sure you can see the medal on it

Where abouts mate? I don't have the greatest eyesight but cant see the medal anywhere.

Does it bother anyone that the numbering isn't straight?

Not a bad looking card but a shot with the player holding the norm smith would have been preferable. I noticed the numbering too, it does look a bit crooked. Also looked like the player was wearing a nappy on first reveal. I'm more bothered about an accurate set but the Williams numbering NSM15 (being the 17th winner) raises concerns whether all winners are included.

I thought the exact same about the nappy comment, it's awkward legs positioning lol

Is Select the only card company that releases their checklist on release day?...if so it's a pretty big gamble on a $500 box...

I would say Aryes will have a single card and that should make williams #16 so its either the numbers got stuffed or one of the players didnt want to be a part of it. So most likely someone didn't want to be a part of it.

10 card and four base cards /99

So I assume this is one of the 6 “Hits”
not sure I am counting that as a hit.

Totally agree, before any money is handed over I am going to want to see a checklist. Lets hope a checklist is released earlier than the night before the release date.

I'm thinking the same. I'll see what the checklist looks like then i'll go form there. Will only collect Crows cards so will also weigh up weather it'll be better just to buy them off eBay or trade like for like

They might buy some, then wait for it to be sold out, and advertise at a higher price to make a profit later down the track.

If I was Cardzone and sunshine collectables or any other big retailer I would be pissed, they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars each year buying stock then don’t get offered this at wholesale, if They told select they would no longer buy any of their series select would be finished, who would pick up the slack?

"Who would pick up the slack?"

All the people who buy cards from Sunshine and Cardzone.

So why doesn’t select just sell all there releases through there website? Cuts out everyone and they get 100% profit

I don't know to be honest. Maybe they are moving a lot of stock through breakers now. There's a chain of beneficiaries in the industry who Select are cutting out in this release. On one hand without wholesale, we are paying potentially more for the product (assuming a larger profit for Select) and on the other hand, there will be no cheap stock sold in bulk and potentially getting dumped at discount and devaluing the set. That is of course, unless Select don't sell as much as planned and decide to sell in bulk for less down the track to Sunshine or Cardzone.

Yea that’s the way it’s heading box breaks is what they are targeting no doubt, and everyone will be doing it soon because they are cutting out the resellers, might have to do it myself soon the way the hobby is heading, the more it goes that way the more it will turn into NBA With lots of different releases each year with a lower print run that suits breakers, I have seen the trend the last 2 years with prices bombing quicker and quicker the resellers days are certainly numbered.

It will certainly put pressure on the remaining physical card shops to keep their doors open if distribution is taken away.
