The Official 2019 TLA NRL Traders Thread

There is also 11000+ boxes for the newsagents ...I wonder how the ratio of high end cards are in them .....
2 predictors, 2 signatures, 1 4+2 guaranteed to a case right? plus the possibility of a legend sig? if the hits are equally distributed across a case nearly one in every 2 boxes should have something
 
There is also 10800 starters ...750 dealer cases ....
that's including those... given ratios on the sell sheet/packet say:
Predictors: 1 per 6 boxes
Authentic Signature: 1 per 6 boxes
4&2: 1 per 432 packs (12 boxes)
legends are only 1 per 4 cases

5.25/12 means any given box or group of 36 packs has a 44% chance of a numbered hit so you should get one in every 2 or 3 boxes which would include starters considering they're technically still "boxes". Outside of production errors all boxes generally do give exact ratios on the low end hits and for the most part the high end hits too so they would play by the same rules
 
Might be an observation that's already been made, but the Last Line of Defence cards.... I've got three now.... and not one of them pictures the player, you know, ... in defence. They're all carrying the ball. I appreciate that it's significantly harder to get good, usable photos of players making a tackle than at other times, but if you were ever going to do it this seems like the time. Personally, i would have loved the differentiation.

It would probably be false advertising if they weren’t as good as the dealers cases and no writing to indicate as such ? But apparently there is no such thing anymore lol
Sort of unfair for the people that are unaware of sites like this to get the info that’s all .
Can anyone confirm if the odds are the same in newsagent stock ?

Dynamic could do that back in 1994, that's 25 years ago.
 
Here's a couple of observations re: ratios now that we've opened a live Case and a personal case.

1) Both Cases had a Legend Signature but only one Authentic Signature in it. A Legend Sig replaces an Authentic? Maybe too early to call but early (low) numbers indicate it. Will update if this theory gets squashed over the next few cases.

2) Parallel Logo Cards are inserted like a Box insert. In other words, one pack in every box has two parallels with one of them being a logo. What this means is there are only 12 Logo parallels in a Case and therefore no complete set. Those that take the risk of pre-selling team sets or complete sets may have to do a little chasing.

To me, last line of defence is the fullback, but that’s me anyhow
 
Bought a starter pack from my local, they were behind the counter and she just handed me one, I must say she gave me the right one!

this is pretty cool, adds an element of chase to the set

I had just thought it was a mistake when I got the 2 Parallels in the one pack. Fortunately for me, the Logo was the Eels. Interestingly though - the pack had 11 cards in it.
