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

I actually think extreme have some of the better players doing signature cards unfortunately just not the same quality cards and numbered etc. I actually might but a bit of the extreme series and at least collect the sigs.
 
I think for Club Heroes they tried to do the club's respective Player and Rookie of the year (souths is burgess/walker so that's correct for us at least) which is why Opacic is one for the Broncos. In other cases they just picked a different club award winner over a rookie it looks like
 
A couple of real confusing ones. Firstly, how Oates gets another sig card over the multitude of rep players Brisbane have. Secondly, how the Cowboys dynamic duo isn't JT and Morgan, especially with JT having two years until retirement. But still, Very excited.
JT had a duo card in 2015 with Matt Scott, which is why they didn't use him again
 
Way way too many cards.

Interesting to note that it's actually the smallest compared to the main retail release across the 4 major Aussie Sports:

ESP's 2017 NRL Traders - 633 Cards
Tap N Play's 2016/17 A-League - 662 Cards
Tap N Play's 2016/17 BBL - 720 Cards
Select's 2017 AFL Footy Stars - 1,020 Cards

Alternatively, the NRL Xtreme Set caps out at just 429 Cards ;)

It's more confusing that Cowboys and Bulldogs had duos in 2015 Traders.

Hi everyone,

An update on the predictor situation from Terry at TLA:

The winning team predictor cards will allow the card holder to redeem a mini 9 card premiership team set which will be individually numbered as per the predictors.

For those collectors who manage to collect all 16 predictor cards they can claim a gold parallel set of the winning team 9 card set, which will be limited to 20 sets only! These sets will be issued on a first come first served basis.

Cheers
Matt

So the dealers get the gold parallel sets

You can probably remove the "s" off the word "dealers" there. I can't think of many that would go through the 10-15 Cases required to put together One Predictor Set, let alone multiple.

And the one dealer I can think of that could go through that volume, tends to just sell singles and pump them out quick. Doubt he would hold them back to collect a set, send it off to ESP and then wait 9 months to receive the cards back to finally sell them.
 
I thought the duos were all new teams with the intent to do the last clubs next year? Dogs and cowboys already had one too not just tigers?

Melbourne cartel is who I was thinking of

So is it 100% that the 15 'useless' predictors get nothing?
