2003 Select NRL XL Base Cards
The base card set from the 2003 Select NRL XL release forms the backbone of this iconic early-2000s NRL product. Big checklist, full team coverage and no unnecessary gimmicks — just players, clubs and footy as it was.
Each NRL team is represented with a strong selection of player cards, capturing stars, regulars and the occasional “oh yeah, I remember him” name that only true fans appreciate.
About the 2003 NRL XL Base Set
The XL base set is deliberately large, making full set and team set builds a proper challenge rather than a weekend project. It includes players from across the competition, along with team branding cards, all presented in classic Select styling from the era.
These cards were designed to be collected, sorted, traded and argued over at school lunch tables — and they still hold up today for collectors chasing team master sets or filling long-forgotten gaps in the binder.

This collection contains individual base cards from the 2003 Select NRL XL release. Whether you’re finishing a team set, rebuilding a childhood collection, or convincing yourself you’ll stop once it’s complete (you won’t), this is where it starts.
