Been a bit absent from Mantel for a while with a few pursuits keeping me busy, but have just returned to Australia for a little while, which allows me to return to my primary passion: AFL Cards.

I am part of the Select AFL Collectors Club which allows me guaranteed access to every release, & have purchased each one over the last 18 months I have been away, which have just built up at my parents place.

SO, without further ado, I present to you...

... one of the all-time GREAT MAIL DAYS 😍

Select Footy decided to drop a surprise announcement on us a couple days ago, announcing a premium offering with all boxes containing just one framed card with a checklist of premium superstars past & present. "Base" cards are gold framed numbered to /35, there's a selection of Premiership Captain/Coach duel signature cards numbered /50, & a set of Palladium cards featuring a young star from each side numbered /25.
One of the more popular offerings every couple of years from Select! As a Select Collector Club member I am entitled to 2 x boxes, so I'll be getting them on order very soon. General sale 12th May which will likely sell out very quick, only 2,500 boxes total available which SCC will likely take up a fair amount of those if all members (I believe there's around 1,000 of them? But I'm not super sure)
Anyway, excited to rip a couple boxes & then try and chase my Port boys!
