Tip Top 2014 'Tazo / Footy' Plays

The Mad Hatter · May 7, 2014

I have confirmed via Tip Top's FB page that they have no plans to bring out NRL Tazos in their bread products for the 2014 season.

Disappointing. I hate the haphazard releases of stuff like tazos, newspaper trading card sets, etc. But not much we can do about it.

that sucks.. maybe smiths?

The Mad Hatter · May 7, 2014

I'll ask them.

Doubt it though.

I think these things will swap hands from one licensee to another and go through phases.

troy titans · May 7, 2014

How long did Smiths have the license for was it 05 to 11?

The Mad Hatter · May 7, 2014

If memory serves...
Smiths did it 2006 to 2008 [2 sets in 07 and 08]
Samboy from 2009 to 2011
Tip Top 2013

troy titans · May 7, 2014

oh right yeah I thought of Samboy as Smiths, there was also 2 sets in 2009

The Mad Hatter · May 7, 2014

2 in 2009? The 64 Footy Frames and ?

troy titans · May 7, 2014

there was a second set of the same cards but 'Gold' editions, raised jersey number and the border is gold foil, you can hardly tell unless you are looking for it much like the 2008 platinum set of centenary base cards

The Mad Hatter · May 7, 2014

Oh. Released in the packets at the same time?

not sure on that one, i heard they were released later but cant confirm

The Mad Hatter · May 7, 2014

Oh, I see what you're saying now.

I've got bags of them. Will have to double check them all. The first bag had 10 raised.

Hmmm. Wonder why I've never spotted it before, nor heard about it. Weird.

Thanks for the heads up.

troy titans · May 7, 2014

Yeah when I got them back in 09 I had no idea and a few years ago I was told.. apparently they're a lot harder to come by as not people realised there was a difference and were brought out towards the end of the run
It is very hard to tell with the logo Tazo, you only have the border to go by and it's hard to notice in a scan

What are the two sets in 08?

I think it was one big set released in two parts.

If my memory is correct, they released the firsts subset as well as a rookie player and past legend for each team. Later on a second part of the set was released with a current legend and a trio card.

I'd say the reason tip top aren't doing them again which you can't blame them i reckon is the amount of scumbags that went to the supermarkets not to buy the bread but rip the cards from the bags

Was a stupid place to put them to begin with

shane_sharks · May 8, 2014

Compared to certain people at smiths who went thru all the bins
to get the signature tazos

smiths will not be able to do them again full stop!, fact is, there were too many stolen Tazos from the factory.
Especially 06 signed tazos.
Smiths have wiped all traces of tazos from there factory in Adelaide and will not touch them again.

In 08 they released two sets, though numbered them sequentially.

If memory serves, 1-40 and then 41-72 was the second part.
