Upcoming AFL Select Series...

Always highly anticipated is Select's second AFL release, which usually releases sometime in July.

Whilst information is somewhat limited, we have learned that the upcoming release is called 2013 AFL Select Prime.

As with past Select releases, draft pick signature cards will feature prominently in this series, with each player signing 280 cards each. It will be interesting to see if all 18 teams have their drafted players represented within this set.

Sealed Cases will consist of either 12 or 16 box collations.

2013 Teamcoach update

Not surprisingly the scheduled release of the new 2013 Teamcoach was delayed from the 14th March until the 22nd March.

Therefore, we should hopefully have some boxes and single cards to bring to Australia's Premier Collectables Show on Sunday, 24th March 2013 at the Williamstown Senior Citizens Centre from 9am-1pm.

Its fair to say that the anticipation has been heightened after a 'ho-hum' release of Select Champions, which offered collectors a truckload of mid-range valued cards, along with quantity, rather than quality for team collectors, but other than that, not much.

This year's Teamcoach is likely to have Silver-Code Game cards and GOLD cards, headlined by the always popular Star Wildcards.

As per the advert, one of the cards had an FP prefix, and this looks like it might stand for 'Footy Pointers'.

If you wish to pre-order a sealed box and/or albums now prior to release, head to our website and visit the 2013 AFL Teamcoach section.

2013 AFL Teamcoach Sealed Box with 36 packs - $97.50
2013 AFL Teamcoach Album-Binder - $9.99

Set for release as scheduled for Monday, 4th March 2013, the new 2013 NRL Traders, the NRL's official trading cards offer collectors a medium-level price point at $3.99 a pack, packed with the tough prospect to hit a signature Young Gun card, which is 1 per 6 boxes, which averages out to only 2 signatures per case.
