I've never searched Starters, hoping that a good hit might come from any random pack. My best had been a few Retirements until yesterday. Jagged an Authentic Sig and the Startoon was a crappy pink header. They really need to wrap the Startoon, for protection if nothing else.

i don't really know why the startoons still have a header card. for sets like the galactic heroes where the cards all formed a puzzle it made sense but thats not the case and none of the other insert sets have header cards either.

It's to make it up to 18 cards....... 2 full pages in your folder.

Usually the header is card 5 and card 14 in the middle of the pages

yes but this is the only insert set where its done and the only reason they continued it is because the old puzzle cartoon sets they replaced had them

Is there a Payne Haas on card signature card or just the facsimile?

On card.

Imagine a world where Australia got as excited about NRL cards as we do about toilet paper

Just saw a video of two people in woolies going at it as someone had purchased all the shit paper and the other person was like i just want one pack. Now imagine if that was cards. What a beautiful world

Was in the paper today (how credible who nows) that someone go stabbed in Western Sydney over a fight in a supermarket.

Where are all the legends signature cards so far. Seen less than 5 from memory

This might seem like a stupid question and not sure if it has been ask? With these cases and boxes of cards coming from China would there be a chance of contamination? What’s people’s thoughts on this ?

According to Harvard Medical School:
'According to the WHO, coronaviruses may survive on surfaces for just a few hours or several days, although many factors will influence this, including surface material and weather.'

next it will be everyone busting with rubber gloves on and collectors fighting it out in coles for a box of gloves

Well we never know it’s not just cards, but there’s a lot of stuff from China

From memory, the ST /100 were about 1:18 or 19 starter packs. I am not sure if this is still the case as the production run on them might have gone up or down. In any case, when you see someone with multiple numbered ST you know what they are doing.

1112 retail starter boxes this year so 1:11 for the black and 1:7.5 for the yellow. I had one partial box of starters delivered from ovato, 15 packs in it produced 3 black and 3 yellow. Seen a few box breaks that have produced 3 as well both retail and hobby. Even last year at the longer odds I had a box that produced 3.
Every sig, predictor or 4&2 I have pulled from starters has come from a pack with the most common insert.

I have bought at least 250 starter packs. Some places I get only pink from 10 packs. One place had 6 starters and I got 5 blacks. It is incredibly inconsistent. Nearly all my major hits have been from pink starter packs too.

Zero chance. Everything coming into Australia is appropriately quarantined And tested for contamination.
