Pretty happy with it.... got the full set of base cards out of it, not a single card was damaged.

IMO Select have done an excellent job with this series, the cards are premium quality and feel solid and polished.

Debating whether or not to grab another box to hunt for inserts...... what do you guys do with the mountain of unwanted cards after a bust? Sell?

nice hits mate, the extras you could trade off or sell its really up to you

 

[GiRDS-]

nice work on the storm predictor.

i usually try to get my base cards signed but its really up to you.

 

[mischap123]

Sell or trade left overs depends on what you want to do with the collection. Some ppl hold on to cards as "trade bait", others are minimalists and trim the fat off their collections. Up to you really

Find a box.. And seal them there for years before looking at it again in the very long distant future..

Nice bust there mate!! What team do you support?

 

[ch0pzta]

Thanks for the tips guys.

Im a long time Panthers supporter, since i was a kid.

 

[Noark-99]

Ahhh the panthers.. Got a big collection??.. Cards and all?

 

[ch0pzta]

I used to collect heaps when i was younger, i have a handful of 1992 Regina brand NRL cards, a few 1993, about 75% of the full set of 1994 Series 1 (including all 5 Gold Cards), 2 cards short of a full set of Series 2 1994, about 75% of a set of 1994 Masters, a heap of 1995 series 1 and 2, and dribs and drabs of 1996 cards... then nothing until i bought a few packs of 2008 Champions, then nothing until this year. Starting to get back into it.

I can imagine you have a mammoth collection lol

 

[Noark-99]

Most people on here do.. But everyone is always willing to help each other out..

 

[Wheeldude]

Well done on the Storm Predictor mate, you might get to redeem it at the end of the year.

 

[ch0pzta]

Thanks for the tips.

[AyiosYiorgos]
