Hi there,

The Series 2 footy cards were released a month ago and WOW what an impact they have had on collectors in both AFL and NRL codes.

The AFL Classic Series SOLD OUT of Sealed Cases in less than two weeks catching us by surprise!

It’s a very collectible series and has proven hugely popular already.  We will discuss some of the most popular cards from this series in just a moment.

The NRL Centenary Series has been just as popular with both new and old collectors.  The mix of historical cards and the modern day cards has added a whole new element to our hobby… there’s something for everyone.

With Father’s Day just around the corner it’s not too late to get Dad some footy cards… take a look around our store by clicking here:  https://www.FootyStars.com.au/store

Okay, lets take a closer look at some of the most popular AFL cards in the Classic Series so far:

2007 Draft Pick Signature Platinum

The second of the Draft Pick Signature sub-set is known as Draft Pick Signature Platinum and is the more scarce of the two DPS sets.

Limited to just 100 individually numbered cards for each of the 17 players from the 2007 Draft, these are inserted into packets at the ratio of one card per 144 packs (one per four boxes).

Rather than gold foiling (as depicted on the Draft Pick Signature Gold sub-set), these cards are highlighted in Platinum coloured foil and have a slightly different graphical design than the Draft Pick Signature Gold sub-set.

They are as scarce as the Major Signature Redemption Cards with only 100 of each card released justifying their prices of between $100 and $300 per card.

They have proved popular because many different types of collectors are keen to add them to their collection.

Whether you’re a “Team” collector, a “Signature” collector, or a “Complete Set” collector, you will want these cards in YOUR collection!

In the NRL Centenary Series Footy Cards some of the most popular cards have been the Past Heroes cards.

This sub-set features 32 players from the past 30 years with two players appearing for each of the current clubs.

Some of the biggest names of the modern era are featured in this set and it’s a nice throw back to the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.

The sub-set features club greats who were not lucky enough to make the 100 Greatest of all time.  They’ve represented their country, or won premiership and many have represented their State… they have all made an impact over the past 3 decades.

At less than $9 a card — these represent great value for all collectors, especially if you just collect your team!

The other insert set that is popular in the NRL Centenary Series is the Team of the Century sub-set.

This 18 card sub-set is made up of the 17 players and Coach of the “Team of the Century.”

The cards are a beautiful design that celebrates the history of the game.  The card is designed to look like it’s an aged card itself — adding that extra piece of nostalgia.

These are another affordable insert at less than $10 per card.  See them for yourself by clicking here…

Another of the most popular items in the NRL Centenary Series is the magnificent official folder… but more on that shortly.

Since I’ve been talking about some of the more popular insert sets… it’s probably worthwhile that I describe what I mean in more detail.  Take a look in the next article for more.

Enjoy the rest of this issue.
