Arriving today (11 July 2006), is the new Premium NRL Hobby release from Select, known as “Invincible“.

This awesome series includes:

• 182 common cards — 12 per team + 2 checklists
• Jersey Die Cuts — 6 per team
• 10 Top Prospects have signed 500 cards each
• 20 All Star cards
• 15 Premiership Predictor cards
• 15 Legend Die Cuts, plus
• 120 Signature cards for each of:

• Laurie Daley,
• Andrew Johns,
• Johnathan Thurston, and
• Tim Smith.

They’re in the Footy Stars store now at: http://www.footystars.com.au/store/nrl-c-28.html

I am impressed with the Top Prospects signatures in the series. I especially like the Greg Inglis, Milton Thaiday, Dean Young and Robbie Farah cards and know they will be very popular with collectors especially as these guys are just starting to make a name for themselves.

With 500 of each player there’s plenty to go around or everyone.
