so basically the're saying it's not commercially viable to produce a series 2 nrl anymore.
because they aren't a point of sale item and just a collectors item sold in hobby shops.
unfortunately there just ain't enough hobby shops out there, with no passing traffic
picking up odd packs, just a set number of collectors buying off a few dealers and unfortunately these few dealers have to compete with ebay sellers offloading new product at throw away prices.
I don't think last years series 2 sales has anything to do with it, it be this years series one, with so many picking up there needs on ebay, i reckon dealers are really struggling,
newsagents have the benefit of being able to return stock that doesn't sell, i think select can already see that returns are gonna far outweigh actual sales and that this trend is telling select that in order to survive in a junk market, which is what they are in, they need to diversify and move to other areas of junk.
like topps for instance, if they just did cards year after year they would of been out on their ass years ago, there main business is lolly pops and gum, select don't have a cash flow item so if they don't make every post a winner, the cards that do sell well simply get absorbed by cards that don't sell well.
select are trying to make out the're doing the right thing by collectors, but in actuall fact, by holding the nrl card licence, they are stopping a decent card company in producing nrl cards, kind of like if we can't do it then we'll make sure no one can.
and grant copely would have to be the most egotisticle person ever to be involved with cards, every redemption card and special card has his name on it and his signature, he really believes he is the ants pants to sports cards, such a ****er.
the person i believe can take the nrl licence away from select is steve from card zone, I think since he already has an excellent distribution system and know how along with the willingness to take some risks and a little bit in the bank, he'd be the perfect candiate to take the nrl licence away from select.
