Here is a little information specifically for our newer card collectors.

We realise that this newsletter is read by a few High End Collectors (who spend thousands of dollars each year) as well as a lot of primary school aged children (who spend their pocket money on footy cards - or their parents money ).

Most readers fall somewhere in between… but this section of the newsletter is aimed purely at our new collectors.

The Topic is Redemption Cards.

I’ve mentioned Redemption Footy Cards a few times so far in this issue and I’m guessing that some of you may not know what they are, and most of you would never have sent in a redemption card.

So let’s explain…

Redemption cards are special cards that are inserted into regular packs.

They are called redemption cards because when you send in your card to Select you will receive “by redemption” a much more valuable card - SO valuable that Select choose NOT to insert it into regular packs!

When you find a redemption card YOU WILL recognise it immediately. The card itself will congratulate you on finding a redemption card and it will explain that it entitles you to a Limited Edition card.

The limited edition cards are often Signature Cards with very low circulation numbers like these ones:

To redeem your card with Select, it is extremely important that you carefully follow all the instructions on the card. You need to send your card via post (we recommend Registered Post) to:

Mailguard Services
Locked Bag 11
PO MONA VALE, NSW 2103

As it says on the card, you MUST send your redemption card along with a Stamped Self Addressed Registered Mail envelope. Select advise that failure to follow the instructions as described on the card could mean either a delay in the return of your card, or perhaps even not receiving your card at all.

At Footy Stars we encourage you to carefully follow ALL the instructions as carefully as possible to avoid disappointment.

The thrill of receiving your Redemption Card in the mail is worth the effort… not to mention the value of the card itself.

Next month we would like to once again include the “BUSTIN’ OUT” section. This is the section where you tell us about your best find from bustin’ open packs of footy cards.

With the new release coming out soon, many of our readers will be back in the habit of opening packs of footy cards — riding the emotion, suspense and wonderment of discovering just what cards you have inside.

Please send in your “Bustin’ Out” story to
BustinOut[at]FootyStars.com.au

We will select at least one “Bust” that has been submitted by a subscriber and publish it in the next issue of this newsletter.

Share your success with all the other footy card collectors out there… and tell us what you found inside when you busted open some packs.
