2022 NRL Traders – A Set Worth (Almost) All Your Lunch Money

Launching on March 9, 2022, the 2022 NRL Traders release brought a massive mix of base cards, glittery inserts, and chase signatures to the NRL card scene. With 160 base cards featuring all clubs and key stars, plus a slew of parallel and insert series, this set has something for everyone — from completionists to serial hoarders.

Base Set & Basics

The core of the set is a solid 160-card base — ten cards per NRL club (nine players and one team checklist). Easy to say, hard to finish if you’re also hunting the shinier stuff. Good luck.

Pearl Specials – The Shimmery Parallel

Look for the Pearl Specials — a one-per-pack parallel that gives the whole base set a pearlescent twist. Same checklist, different look (and bragging rights). Collectors love these for completion goals and that extra shelf sparkle.

Inserts & Chase Cards

If base cards were your only goal, this box would be disappointing — but you’re not here for basic. Grab Rising Stars, Season to Remember, High Performance, Power Heroes, Club Heroes, Master & Apprentice, Retirements, and more. Each series drops at different pull rates, so patience (and packs) is key.

Signatures & Ultra-Rare Hits

Then things get spicy: Authentic Signatures (White & Black), The Creator, Legends Signatures, and Premiership Predictor cards bring limited-copy heat. They’re numbered and eye-catching — and that’s putting it mildly.

This set isn’t just a collection — it’s a serendipitous journey into chasing ever-scarcer cards, team pride, and the kind of joyful frustration only NRL Traders can deliver.
