Official ESP 2016 NRL Traders Thread (Sell Sheet Page 14)

[The Mad Hatter]

If there are 160 silver parallels, last year they didn't so logos or checklists in parallels.

So could be a 178-180 common card set?

 

[Delta]

I think someone stated on page 14

 

[bob]

I believe the players who signed the cards in Traders also got 10 cards (players) not numbered.

 

[hobo]

From the ESP announcement Pg 14:

"..........We have seeded for the collector market the first 200 cases of Traders with 100 individually number 004/5 Roosters Dynamic Duo Cards (Dylan Napa and Kane Evans) and 100 individually numbered 005/5 Dragons Dynamic Duo Card (Gareth Widdop and Benji Marshall) the only way to get these two cards is to buy an unopened case........."

and from the flyer we know the 3rd is Souths, the Burgess Brothers by the look.

I'm looking forward to adding the Widdop / Marshall Dynamic Duo to the PC, what's peoples thoughts on what these will fetch?

[hobo]

Actually thinking about it, I'm probably not looking forward to it, as it will no doubt cost me more than I want to pay.

 

[Noark-99]

I felt like that last year!

 

[Delta]

And they look worse than last year. And the selection of players is worse.

Burgess Bros and Dragons halves is acceptable but why would you pick napa and evans over much more deserving club combos without one (broncos, storm, even panthers would be better)

I don't think you will get change from $300

It is the same as picking Lachlan BURR for a signature card over Josh Hoffman.

ESP haven't had the best record for player selection when it comes to high end cards but who knows, these might have been the players approved by the NRL

 

[Brendan_B]

I felt like that last year!

But you did get the jersey number!

 

[Noark-99]

But you did get the jersey number!

Of the wrong one!

 

[Brendan_B]

So five more categories in Puzzle Pieces, wonder what they will be.

Last year we had top 10 points, top 10 tries, top 10 tackles, top 10 hit ups and top 10 meters gained

I think Try Assists, Kicks in Play, Offloads, Hit Ups and Line Breaks are all good options

Points - Croker
Tries - Radradra
Tackles - McCullough
Line Breaks - Radradra
Runs - RTS
Metres - RTS
Try Assist - JT
Hit ups - Gallen
Kicks in Play - Hunt
Offloads - Cartwright

Of the wrong one!

Well technically it did feature both jersey numbers in the correct order so it was as close as could be!

I can't believe you remember the number!

 

[No Doubt]

Wow. Did anyone notice that ESP managed to sneak in another 2 sets of parallels under our noses without actually calling them parrallels.
We have 3 versions of the SAS signatures - the original signed cards (good stuff) then a "parallel" gold signature and and a "parrallel" black signature.
Next year be prepared to see parrallel versions of retirements and cyber cards thrown in on top. When wil the parrallels end???

Cyber cards already have parallels, technically the album cards. Also has anyone noticed that it says "SAS Series" meaning that this will not be the end of those signature cards.

might not be a full 16 teams next time around though if they do unless they do a deal with a different agency, Luke Keary is the only Souths player they have currently.

what will the elite set have 6 sets of parallels, they will not learn, that way you will need 4 albums for 1 set.
They are Dynamic all over again.

I think these will reach selling prices substantially lower than the other 3 hidden in packets as all 200 will be found pretty quickly. Ill be surprised if they go for more than $100.
