It will be very similar, check up on the Select site, time and again and just see whether they post up any info on the Nrl, it sure is going to be worth the 2k if they are the same as the AFL ones, sooo many inserts and collectables :)
 
man this is awesome, and release date is not too far away

such a shame i got a mortgage and huge debt now, no case for me, will have to be a couple of boxes
 
The holofoils are a bit much, maybe select should have a set of game used cards like they did 3-4 years ago, this could create more interest. Mind you i cant wait to buy some boxes of classic.
 
Yeah the holofoils and the parallel idea is boring,
but so is the 50 card tribute match cards.

and so are the medal cards :) they should be in the 1st series 'cos it's so old news now heading toward the end of the following season, it's too late.

and the predictors are boring, they should be in the 1st series too, at least then all 16 cards have an even value and chance, we all know by now there's maybe 6 teams with a chance to win it, even a melb' predictor would be half exciting, imagine you go out and buy your one and only box of classic and pluck the melb' now? ho-hum :(

then there's these premiership commemorative cards, well at least select are showing they are just about fed up with them, bringing out 12 cards this year to push them along and get it over with asap :thumbsup:

so what's left? oh, the signatures, well i'll just hang my hat on them then.
the 02 spx was and still is the best they ever did as far as premium common cards, a true premium card on nice stock they were, I thought that was gonna be the norm, i'd rather have even 5 cards per pack of high quality then what there coming out with

Can't wait for them to come out though :thumbsup:

The main problem is select's monolopy, the afl card hobby is screaming out for a 2nd manufacturer, untill then we just have to put up with what they decide to churn out.

and bring back footy quarters, weren't the series 1 fun to collect? had to make full puzzles from 1/4 bits, was a buzz looking for bottom left piece for this, top right piece for that, was cool.

It's been my dream actually, to do the quarters again, i'm still a few years off finacially, but if anyone else is willing to get together and do something like quarters, i'll be in ;)
