You are slipping..... you missed Emerald, Sapphire, Tiger Pattern, Cosmic, Fractal, Holo, Non Holo, Black and white and superfractor variations and probably more!

I wonder if Select will do a 50th version of the Virtuoso cards again?

I don't mind if Optimum goes around again, I really like the O+ and O+ Parallel designs, I get that people like change with these things though.

Do we have any Optimum wet dreams?

• Would love to see some Optimum patch cards, I think the O+ design could look pretty sick for a patch card
• Replace Matrix/Headliners with a retro design (replicate the 1993 Select series design)
• Piss off the AA metal and make the regular AA cards a bigger run (maybe 250)
• Bigger run of Medal Cards (from 50 to 80)
• If we have a HoF update, then I assume Future HoF cards could come back, instead of Footy's Finest/Influential

Less than 62,400 Rookie cards for the year might be a good start. 10 years ago it was 7280 total rookie cards. 2018 - 3150 cards?

Get rid of the common /450 rookie card, get rid of the Gold Signature card.

Only have signature versions for the Round 1 and 2 draft selections. ( 38 players)

Parallel set for all the draft rookie - (recycled players don't get another rookie card)

Collecting a set of draft sig cards used to be a goal for a lot of collectors. Not now. Can probably count on 1 hand the number of complete draft signature sets by collectors.

Now people are only collecting team sets or even individual players. That has driven the demand for rookie cards down and the supply has increased to crazy levels.

Even something like Round 1 draft - Copper/Gold/Platinum cards, Round 2 draft - Copper/Gold, Round 3 draft Copper, Round 4+ draft parallel only would help.

How many levels of DPS will it be?

Maybe 4 getting rid of copper

Gold /100
Platinum/50
Green /35
Team colours/25

Here is an idea just one rookie Signature limited to 150 to 200, top 50 players . Make it one a box . No unsigned rookie parallels either

 

[ElijahCraigHyde]

I'm thinking this ATM

Two players per club depicting players aged between 23 and 30-- today
Two players aged 31+ or recently retired-- yesterday

Quintessential (5 players per club); 1: box

All Australian; 1:2 boxes only one variety this year

Draft pick signature gold /100; 2:3 boxes
Draft pick signature platinum /50; 1:box not containing draft pick gold
Draft pick signature emerald /35; 1;92 packs

[jimboner]

What about Floptimum? Draft busts from each club /80.

 

[ElijahCraigHyde]

Perhaps one of the middle end concepts?

 

[cotchin#9]

my God.. it is so quite regarding the next release. One would have to think we are on the doorstep of some info dropping any time now.
Got to get this AFL forum cranking up again!!!!!

 

[BLOWN8]

You’d think it’s very close surely.

 

[May-Z]

It’s odd that it’s been so quiet

I’ve spent the last month backfilling lots of my cricket collection, something I’ve never done during footy season

Looks a pretty snazzy logo. Wonder if this is the traditional series 2, or a brilliance style release

When I seen that pic I instantly thought high end like eminence in the NBA, but they are like $20k per box

Hope it's a nice high end box. Probably be some lame name for S2

 

[jimboner]

G is for Greatest? (given the Superman style logo)

Possibly Glorious?

No going to lie, when I saw the image I thought "NFT", which obviously it isn't.
