NRL 2016 ESP Elite Official Thread (Checklist Up Pg 36)

I will never understand why you'd put lesser players in the Elite common set.

The only reason I could think of why maybe due to some players don't debut till later in the season or transfer and have no image and this gives collectors an opportunity to get a card of these players
 
As a panthers supporter, I'm hoping that now with Soward leaving as well as seggyaro that there are no cards of them. If so I hope they have enough time to change them for Cleary and Martin

Doubt it, these player lists would have been locked away weeks ago..
 
set 2 became available the other day, as I have pulled out and stopped collecting any further esp cards.
As one gets older and starts to think what is ahead in life and having no chance in hell of having 1 of every card made, it is a no brainer.
If I could get 1 of each I do not think spending upwards of 25k is realistic, considering half of the set would be worth half of what I would pay now in 6 months and would not make any capital gain on it in the next 10 years.
To add a further comment, if any number 36 cards become available, I will still be collecting them.

Probably be something similar to Traders with the special Parallel being only 80 cards and regular being 160.
 
They look great though. Probably a white background would be great for ips, although traders is already like that.
 
I actually think that these designs are very good, except for the background as mentioned before and the fact that '2016 Elite' takes up a third of the card when we already have a logo in the top left telling us who made the cards.

i agree, i would have preferred it if where it says "2016 elite" it instead has the players name, and where it has the players name underneath "2016 elite" it should have the team name instead. plus the fact there aren't team logos on the cards makes me feel as if the cards are missing a little something,but i'm nit-picking at this point. still i think design is very solid
 
How will the dark background prevent ips? Aren't silver sharpies fine?
