Pack 5

And finish off with a James Graham league sensation (not the Graham I was going for lol)

All in all I like the look of the cads this year the captains cards are really nice I hi k I will put a set together of this, the base cards would look great with a gold or silver pen autograph and not to bad for a 5 pack grab from the local newsagent pretty happy..

Those dud packs are expensive for nothing tho you would feel a bit bad if a kid drops 16 bucks and picks two duds (not that elite is really aimed at kids but they still like it)

I know what you feel. I only bought 4 packs of last year's Elite and only got parallels. Not even my team parallels.

BUT

This was the first pack I opened when I looked at the card after opening there is a nice crease on the bottom left corner so I looked at the rest of the cards figuring the pack must of been dropped or squashed in packing but the rest of the cards are undamaged so is this a production accident... And for it to be on the 001 card I feel really annoyed.

Grabbed a single pack today in my lunch walk from the news agency at town hall station, got back to my desk and opened it up and all the cards are cornered...

How frustrating, they are all commons which I guess is lucky but that is beside the point,

This newsagency has taken the packs out of the box and are sitting in a rack on the counter.

I can only assume they damaged it in transfer

I am annoyed again 2 days in a row.
 
It's good that they put the hit in between the commons, so they act as a shield. Great hits
 
I was in my local "Guy Stuff" shop today and they had a freshish box of 2016 elite on the counter

So I grabbed a pack with my purchase as my fingers are getting itchy waiting for traders.

And inside was this

Not bad I thought even if I have to get it redeemed, but then I turned it over
