Tap 'N' Play CA & BBL 2015/16 Official Thread.

[Matt26]

Hi everyone,

Neil at Tap 'N' Play has sent us a preview image of the new BBL cards due out in early November.

$3.99 per pack and we have been told that there will be signatures and also a game worn component to the release.

Here is the BBL Base Card of Mitch Starc.

I have been told that more previews will be shown on the Tap 'N' Play Facebook page over the coming weeks and months.

Cheers
Matt

Jeez... They look great! I like it a lot!

 

[Paddy K]

Very Nice
Any news on who the sigs will be?
Do you know what the back of the cards will look like?

PS. Hopefully they spell everyones names right and get the left/right hand of every player right.

I spoke to Neil today and he mentioned that there will be 6 signature cards in this release and most (if not all of them) have not signed in any official product before.

The other point he mentioned was that the signatures will be redemptions as the players are not back in the country until at the earliest mid October (Ashes Series then Bangladesh Tour) so whilst they wanted them in packs, its just not physically possible.

Cheers
Matt

This card looks really nice!

Hopefully 'early November' means before the start of the first test!

Also judging from the scan, are we going to get our beloved square corners back?

When I spoke with the guys from Tap N Play, they said they will be moving to network services this time round (the same people that do the AFL and NRL distribution through newsagents) so these packs and the new A League Release will be available at over 3000 petrol stations, newsagents etc.

Some of the major resellers will also have stock available.

Silver and gold parallel sets again this year??

Hopefully with new distribution arrangements there will be more boxes in circulation.

I believe so but some nice insert sets to collect and signature cards.
