Just going off the Legends. ET is confirmed, Mal I believe is the other. All case cards are /30.
I read (earlier in this thread) no retirement parallels this year.
I have heard the other case cards are variants of the Master & Apprentice and League Leaders.

Right on Brendan.
Thanks for the confirmation Warren - appreciated.
Bit of a blow for collectors chasing the Legend Case Cards as they are therefore 100% controlled by dealers this time around - ie a collector either gets lucky in a break or they pay. Not sure what I really think of that philosophy. Great for dealers trying to make a living (those that opted to buy Priority), but assumes collectors are going to be willing to pay whatever the (probably very high) asking price may be.

might as well not have any packs in any servos, newsagents or any retail outlets at all.
Gone are the days of kids collecting cards.
This is no longer a hobby, it is totally greed run by tla.
You can only obtain certain cards through dealers, you will have to earn a 6 figure income to be a team collector soon.
Dont like the odds of getting your outlay back this century.
What about the old grey haired pensioner who collects bottles to support his income.
I do agree with you about kids collecting cards,most loose interest after 5 minutes, or it's to much for mum and dad to fork out. I will always support the hobby while there are great people on this site willing to help each other.

You can complain as much as you like about what they have done for the last 10 years but at the end of the day they are still selling the majority of the product each release and as collectors fall there are always going to be someone who will buy there product ...It hasn`t changed for as long as league cards have been around ....

Agree with the fact someone will be around to buy cards, as long as footy is around.
But change,
massive changes in the last 30 yrs, ie really only 1 outlet to buy cards now, and that is Michael opening up a shop where you can walk in from the street.
God bless him.
the internet has really only come about since the late 90s.
China has virtually stopped all card shows,
Way too many inserts.
Shall i go on.
Hopefully everyone can now clearly see what’s going on and the reasons why? Yeah many will still call me crazy but it’s obvious what the reasons are behind all the things that have happened the last couple of years re. case cards, distribution of limited stock etc is purely because of greed. When you have you’re own authorised dealer along with several other business dealings Cashing in on the secondary market of course they will do things to make them personal cash.
I hope though that people also realise that even though the legends case cards have gone from 55 to only 30 and are impossible for any collector to hit at random they should still be worth less the. Last years ones. Why? Well if every case of priority has a legends card then it’s actually easier for legends case cards to come out. 25 of each less yes but when they were previously all mixed in at random a lot of them would still be sealed in cases but priority ones when supposedly it sells out before release date all 60 should be out and available therefore easier to come by.
