The Official 2017 ESP/TLA NRL TRADERS thread. (Some new signing images added)

Bedsy would have been very disappointing. Not because he isn't worthy but he only retired in 2013 and had a signature in that years Elite

 

[Delta]

Think anyone in the 2005 Inspirations Diecuts Set would be a good choice. You got Simmons, Mackay, Edge, Eadie. Also think an Ettingshausen signature would look very nice.

 

[Brendan_B]

ET for sure, could never understand how he didn't make the Triple Centurions in 12 Champs or Dynasty

FYI the Inspirations weren't diecuts, they were the legend diecuts in 06 Invincible. The Inspirations were 05 Power

 

[Sharky]

I agree the legends and retirees have been a nice constants to see over the years and I wouldn't complain about an ET legends card at all,

 

[hobo]

Surely there's room for a Chang or Billy Smith Legends card

It seems as to me if ESP just aren't trying if they run out of Legends.

Legends are easily the best set ESP have done but I have heard this might be the last year for them. The rumored legends for 17 were certainly great players but not on the level of the previous 8

I don't think they could maintain that initial standard for long anyway, as you say they broke from those heights already with the Langer and Menzies releases but I'm OK with that but think harder, Les Johns, Arthur Summons Chang of course ET Fitler Lazarus there's plenty

Think Les Johns would be an excellent choice. I dont think I've ever seen offical memrobillia signed by him (apart from the new book release). Chang and Summons are probably sick to death of signing. Whereas Fittler and Lazarus Signatures won't fit on a small blank space which is designed for signatures which are flat.

Clyde!!!

Next year Clyde and ET, some one get the petition going

Think Clyde be happy to get involved. ET ivr never dealt with so couldnt comment

I have been advised that the Legend Sig is not Girdler, but is Buderus.

there will also be predictors in traders this year and Sigs in the Xtreme set

I have seen comments suggesting sticker autos for Xtreme. Anyone heard similar?

Heard similar and that they are unnumbered

 

[Mcdizzler]

not stickers Autos....!!!!

 

[Parrapaul]

So the predictor cards, I will be willing to do a predictor share when that time comes if people are keen (pending approval from Admin). If there is a card that will come back for non premiership winning sides like the select releases from prior years

 

[Brendan_B]

Sticker autos is a massive backward step even for a low end release. I think this may be an experiment to see how they look and the reaction of collectors with a view to using them in Traders & Elite beyond 17. The 15 Elite YGS looked similar to sticker autos and they looked ordinary.

Predictors are a great concept to reintroduce and make sense in an earlier release.

Bedsy great player but poor choice as a legends signature. Only retired in 2013.

I will be saving my $$$ for the big release in 2018....

Signed raiders premiership set?

 

[sharkiefan0102]

I don't really mind if they are sticker autos for Xtreme. This set is a the cheap set aimed for kids

 

[sharkiefan0102]

I also heard about cards themed around the marvel jerseys
