Well what a cluster truck this is, just spoke with Robbie and asked on behalf of collectors everywhere if there will be a series 2 this year and she replied that there will be. I asked her about the comment on their facebook page posted by a Select employee on Monday that said they were unsure if series 2 would happen. Robbie was unsure who posted that and why and intimated it must have been someone else. I said surely not, it had to have been a Select representative authorised to make statements.
I tried to explain to Robbie that statements such as that are very confusing to the collector who is wanting information on the product but she would not budge and said no information would be released until the flyers were printed and released just before the product was released in July.............WTF, I thought it was an August release due to printing issues.........
Oh, she also asked if I would remove my post on their facebook page and I told her no way...................lol

The only thing I am surprised about is that they won't promote their product in advance. I mean other sports manufacturers put out sell sheets interim checklists in advance. As we have seen, we already know a chunk of the top prospects cards, surely they could start building interest in the release a bit further out than a week or 2 before release?
To some extent this is absolutely true. With Select having a monopoly on rugby league / NRL cards for quite a few years, collectors have had to just take up whatever they are offered. With hindsight we can now see that what Select have been issuing over the last decade has tended more towards the unoriginal, repetetive, and often bland. As well, they seem to remain arrogant and oblivious to the voice of their customer base. While I still think their product is high quality and I will continue to add to my collections, I'm coming around to the idea that a new manufacturer will breathe new life and enthusiasm into the hobby.
