Excellent share, thanks. The cards released on the day must be being treasured by the Thunder fans, I though there might have been some pop up on eBay or gumtree - but not seen any.
They are not just giving them out, they have put them in showbags for the kids doing the Milo T20 Blast - VERY hard to get as they have not been handed out on mass. I saw a box full - approx 10 - 15 bags at the first game, with 2 cards in each ( I was in the right place at the right time, as there was one bag spare and I asked if my son could have it ) otherwise I would have missed out.
At the second game I only saw 2 handed out.
The pre match function where they give away signed bats & other stuff, they actually gave away a full set signed by the whole squad!
Shame there is not more of a distinguishing feature for those cards, would have made them more obvious as a collectors edition. I didn't notice the difference in the cornering until you mentioned it.
Maybe similar to how Auskick release about 5 cards from the teamcoach set but badged with Auskick and given out at regiatration as part of the pack for the kiddies. Those cards get more of a premium pricing.
Still everyone does it differently, and a great initiate by Syd Thunder none the less.

That's disappointing. It might have been better to send out the cards as part of membership packs, or as a redeemable voucher to collect on game day for members that might have been a bit fairer. But important to target the kids none the less.
For the scorchers membership our redeemable voucher for Game 1 was a orange Santa hat- ho ho ho
Whoever got the full set of signed Syd Thunder cards would have been laughing!
A sad reflection of how stuff that is handed out for free at sporting events is treated these days. Image what it would have been like if they lost the game.
So I guess that's why there are none on eBay
now if they would just stop handing out those inflatable whacker things at games - grrrr!
