I thought the Crystal Career set was only 2 players, 15 cards each?

Regarding the All Stars I am not sure (apart from Roosters) who will get one. Do you recall 15 Elite where the Panthers had the jersey patch and signature and 2 X all stars.

 

[Parrapaul]

Doesnt look like many eels cards, isn't a bad thing tho as I get to continue spending up on the 1968-1975 stuff I want

And the scanlens stuff will actually hold value and not drop by 40% after 6 weeks of release

 

[Matt26]

Looks pretty sucky for the Doggies for sure.
BMoz again and Brenko Lee, hardly a YG and the only player so far to be dropped from an under-performing team.
Not quite Corey Thompson stuff but not too flash.

Thought it was Josh Morris not Brett?

Is josh

Just going off the update list on the previous page.
Either way, there were better options.

 

[Jwoodzy0262]

and Dragons / Tigers / Sea Eagles / Eels and Bulldogs

It always sucks for us though

Inglis and Thurston will have All Star cards, Inglis has already been shown and Thurston was man of the match + co-captain

I'd like us to but I doubt Souths will have 2 All Star cards, the only other Rabbitohs who played were Turner and Cook and I don't see either of those 2 getting picked over everyone else. Also I remember last year certain teams varied in price despite not having any differing levels of high-end content purely due to popularity of the teams so not sure if there's much of a correlation between break spot prices and who's in the All-Star set

My prediction for the Indigenous All Star Set:

Inglis
Thurston
Gagai
Bird
Taylor

World All Stars is a little harder to pick

 

[Rocket1908]

Also, any idea when we'll be getting a confirmed list of newsagents with stock?

 

[MikeK]

Here's the usual list of Newsagent stockists in WA:

The Rabbits do potentially have an extra Captain Card too.

There is a pretty strong correlation between the Case Breaks prices and team content

I think there is another Crystal Ball breaker as a case card

 

[Parrapaul]

Of maybe a storm player is my reckoning.

Player is highly PCed so good luck to the people that collect him chasing 15 cards limited to 30 each

Obviously for the patches and Crystal Collection extra cards yeah but when you look at last year's breaks teams like Panthers and Titans had no less potential content than Sea Eagles or Roosters but there was still a price gap, unless you argue the actual players featured for a certain team are better but that's subjective

From someone who is involved in a lot a team breaks, Panthers and Titans are the hardest teams to sell. Nearly always the last to sell and the first teams traded in a random break. Even Warriors are easier to move. This is probably why they are generally lower in price than the other teams.

I figured that would be the reason but the point was that price is not always directly indicative of the content available

 

[Battingticks84]

After the release.......

This is my thoughts on how some of the unknowns look to be split based on team break prices:

The 10 All Star Cards are:
Cowboys 1
Broncos 2
Titans 1
Knights 1
Roosters 1
Rabbits 2
Panthers 2

The 3 Crystal Career things:
Thurston
Storm
Sharks

Its a guess but............

David Mead was the only Bronco in this year's all star game And that would be disappointing if he got one considering he is a fringe first grader. I don't get how the Broncos are so expensive in team breaks this year.

Broncos are always popular so the spot isn't discounted to encourage people to fill the break.

I think it's kinda sad that Mead isn't playing first grade, he's a popular player and the PNG captain, would have a lot less trouble making the starting side at a club that's not as stacked as Brisbane

 

[MightyEagles81]

Any idea who the Sea Eagles ones might be?

 

[Diggaz TC]

I don't get how the Broncos are so expensive in team breaks this year.

The Broncos are slightly above the minimum due to the additional content they have.
