Wellsie's Elite Busts...

[Wellsie]

Whilst waiting on my box from Redtorana to arrive and being in the newsagency getting my Rugby League Week I looked around for any Elite cards as this particular Newsagency was on the Elite stockists list.

I asked the lady behind the counter and she looked at me in surprise as she hadn't heard of them but the guy beside her mentioned he was going to send them back as traders hadnt sold well at all. I told him Traders probably wouldn't as the Sigs were to hard to hit which put a lot of people off but these whilst costing more had much easier to hit sigs.

I asked to buy an Album, 2 Starter Packs and a couple of packs off him so he shot out the back to grab them, he handed them to me and said since you gave me the information and your into them I will give you this, it's just a promo they sent me and you may get more use out of it than me as he handed me the Paul Gallen Case Card. Score!

I'm going back there a bit more often I suspect!

Anyway onto the busts...
Album Pack - Base + Parallel

2 Single Packs
Pack 1 - Base, Parallel + Cooper Cronk AR4

Reasonably happy with the days results to be fair, Thanks for looking

I must admit these are great in hand. Simple yet nice card design, good thickness to them and the Inserts look pretty sweet!

Yeah mate it's definately a bonus, although would have been a better idea to move when Dynasty was around I suspect...

Bad luck, bud. Yeah, definitely high stakes if you don't have much disposable income.

 

[Wellsie]

Currently sitting on my last 5 boxes being duds....
1 Dynasty, 3 Traders and 1 Elite

It is hard to feel too sorry for a man that pulled a Lockyer jersey sig . That's a life worth of good fortune in one hit! Apart from the odd 1:72, I'm currently 0/14 for the premium releases since 2000. I was so pleased to find this site after having to buy boxes off Ebay for such a long time.

 

[Dragon_Fire]

Dont let that box stop you wellsie i think the next one will be a winner you are due for it.

 

[Wellsie]

Ive had some pretty damn good luck in the past your right... I guess its just frustrating watching these hot boxes popping up and missing out :-P

 

[Dragon_Fire]

I can understand everyone's being frustrated with dud boxes all they had to do is put 1 sig pure box and spread the love around.... not to hard to achieve IMO

 

[Wellsie]

Todays additions

Starter Pack - 3 Parallels & Cooper Cronk AR4

6 Loose Packs - 6 Parallels & Dragons Fast & The Furious Silver

Cronk AR4 is available for trade at this stage Prefer to trade for one not mentioned above
