  There are a number of special features to this set and interesting and unique sub sets which include:

  All number 1 signature cards have been included into the set this year. (Thanks to everyone for their feedback)

  The number 1 cards from the League Sensation Signature series will be redeemed by lucky collectors via a special redemption card . For the first time in NRL card history the signed number 1 Card will be framed with the corresponding team jersey, once ESP receives the redemption card we will send out to the collector the framed team jersey with the number 1 card, and we will return the redemption card, market of course.

  We have included a special gold parallel 1 per 3 packs so watch out for these.

  A second redemption card will deliver lucky collectors a set of 9 Women in League cards, from the 2013 Women in League round. All cards are printed on pink foil board and look great! Players have been selected on based on the Harvey Norman women in leagues nomination process all Nine players are were finalises in this competition there was one winner being

  The Young Gun signature series will continue again in 2014, collectors should note that as a result of the NRL selection criteria when choosing these players we have a double up on 2013 release James Tedesco (Wests) James will appear again in the 2014 Elite release.

  Also look out for: Master and Apprentice, a nice looking sub set of card Pride and Passion 2013 World Cup Hero’s and what a game it was! And finally a special parallel set of the World Cup heroes There will be three case cards design this year of which one card will be signed by Daly Cherry- Evans limited to only 70

  Each album will contain an exclusive album card.

  ESP will attend the Newcastle collector fair on the 20th of July, we will have some product at this fair for collectors to review, more on this latter. As soon as we have the final list of retailers selling the product we will publish this on all website so individual packet collectors know the whereabouts of stockists.

  We hope that all collectors enjoy the Elite 2014 release, we have had a lot of fun putting together, as always we welcome feedback good and bad as we endeavour to continue to improve the offer.

Looks really nice, ESP seem to be doing very well by NRL collectors. Am I right in saying they had jersey cards a few releases back?

Ah that's a bit of a shame then, would like to see jersey cards more prevalent in Australian releases. A very good looking release, all the same.

Ooooh! Sorry a new guy speaking here, but how many different series are released each year? And is this the 'best' one?

At the moment there are 3 main releases along with some odd smaller one off sets.

 

2014 Traders - comes out at the start of the year and is the major retail release. You would class this in as a lower end release for the masses.

 

2014 Power Play - comes out in April and is targeted at younger kids. They use their cards to play online.

 

2014 Elite - comes out usually July/August. Know as the hobby release and is targeted directly at collectors and is a higher end product. Packets cost more Traders.

What about Limited Editiion?

[Deals_with_Cruiser]

I would say that elite will have the best limited edition cards guys..

I'm an AFL collector ,but did buy some elite NRL last year to see what the fuss was about.

These look like really good cards..at times I think NRL has better designs and ratio's than AFL.

I would buy a few packs from time to time ,but in VIC there's very few to trade with so I guess i would just ebay what I get..

I guess that would be okay if you got some special ones.. will keep you guys in mind..

i like the idea of having card contacts in NSW,and a different market to deal with and help with their collecting.

Also If there are members who would consider trading AFL to me for NRL we could give it a go..
