Glad I encouraged you, because it's a nice story about that Goztepe team... Those cards look badass, players already had some natural style to pose hehe... Really nice, makes me want them to get back to those old days... Thanks a lot for sharing
But yes, I was a bit surprised when I read the collection only had those 3 teams... It wouldn't hurt printing some more cards and be a bit more complete, would it? In this case, it made more sense to do 3 different collections... If I was, for example, a Besiktas fan, why would I care getting the cards from the other two teams? If it was the turkish league itself, fine... Really hope Panini there reconsiders next season, it doesn't make sense staying halfway (neither a league or club collection).
Ah, in Portugal, we had Mega Craques and now Adrenalyn in past season... Until 2012, MC had team logos, then 9 players per position (about 12 positions), then some special category (like rookies or national team)... Of course, in each position, there were always players from the 3 big teams, but featured some from the others.
2013 & 2014 had 18 cards from major teams, then 6 cards for the others... The downside was not having any special cards and being a bit short, but it was cheaper than Adrenalyn (60c vs 1€ per packet), cards had tremendous quality, very sturdy and with info in the back (Adrenalyn only has that lousy code to play online) and it was so much better to complete, without those mega rare cards that come out only in 40 or 50 packets.
This year, with Adrenalyn series again introduced (2010/11 they introduced too, but got back to MC in 2011/12), all teams had 18 cards (all players, no logo/team) + special categories with foil and textured cards + 9 LE (so Super Gol has even more LE)... It tripled the work to finish and quadrupled the costs
