Hi. Do you know if there is any plan on updating (fixing) the NPN link under the card resources section? The information there has not been updated since 11-17-2004. I send a message about a month ago and Jay (pr0phet) said that the staff was looking at getting it corrected. I sent several new addresses to the email link that was provided, but apparently that is not working anymore either. Thanks!

You can get all the current Fleer NPN's from their website. Go into the cards section and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the NPN link. Hope this helps some.

Greg, I hate to say it, but I've been going to other forums & sites to get my NPN info lately. I'd be happy to help contribute to the NPN list so long as it's being maintained well.

The staff and I are currently developing a better solution for the NPN page.

Maybe people should actually consider buying the product and reading the back of the pack.
That's what I do.
Or go to your local Target and write them all down.

Or If they don't mind sharing, just put them in with their Box breaks..I did yesterday for Topps Chrome

Good news! I've been given the responsibility for updating the NPN page. :smile: So if you have any NPN info that is not already listed on the NPN page, please PM me with detailed NPN info which includes :

Full Product Name
Full Address
# of Allowed Entries
Postmarked By Date
Canadian Skills Question

It is not necessary to send any NPN info from Fleer since I will obtain Fleer's NPN info from their website. Thanks.

Glad to hear it SingleDaddyof2... hopefully this means we'll start seeing some regular updates. Will you be out in the market/internet looking for these? Maybe hook up with a store that can provide them regularly? Or will they only be posted from member submissions?

Most NPN information will be from member submissions. Your idea to hook up with a store the can regularly provide NPN info is a very nice idea but I don't think we have anything to offer a store to make it worth their while. Any NPN information that card companies provide on their websites, I can obtain myself. As far as I know, only Fleer puts NPN info on their website.

thekingpin
02-23-2005, 07:21 PM
Sure we do... advertising... They could list their store name, address & phone as a resource. I'm sure that someone on here has a store that'd be game for it.

In my opinion... and everyone is free to say I'm wrong... but I think it'd be most useful to make the NPN page as printer friendly as possible... and in more of a checklist format, so we can print out the page, and check off when we actually send our own NPN letters out. It'd really help those of us that do NPNs regularly. Right now, the page looks pretty big & ugly... it's not printer friendly... the Donruss section is off center... it needs work & a make-over.

SCS & some other forums out there have been posting current NPNs... it'd be nice to see some of those added. I'll try and submit a few I found there by the weekend.

Wow, kp I like your ideas. I like anything what makes a website more user-friendly and the printer-friendly/checklist format are good steps in that direction. I will see what I can do to make those ideas happen. I have also been looking at how to adjust the table columns to save vertical space.

I got rid of most of the older outdated NPN offers except for Upper Deck. I'm pretty sure most of those are not valid anymore but I can't tell which ones are still valid since Upper Deck doesn't provide expiration dates. At this point we need more Topps & Donruss along with Upper Deck NPN info. The Fleer NPN section has been 100% updated thanks to their website.

For what its worth, I sent emails to Donruss & Upper Deck requesting them to send me current NPN info for all of their sports card product lines. Hopefully, I'll get a favorable response from them soon. Unfortunately, I couldn't send an email to Topps because they haven't set up a customer service email address.

Regarding a store advertising on SCF in exchange for NPN information that's an option for Greg to decide upon. Just some wishful thinking here...I think it would be cool if the card companies would advertise on SCF. :wink:

Glad you like the ideas... believe me, I've got loads of them, but that's probably why I do ecommerce marketing for a living. Anyhow... I'm going to pull some together to PM you SingleDaddy... and I really only go for the Topps ones, since I've had good experiences from them on the NPNs.

kp - I just finished updating code for the NPN page a short while ago and emailed it to Greg. The only new NPN offers I've received are 2005 Leaf Century Collection Baseball, Donruss Classics Baseball, and 2004-05 Topps Total Basketball (all from you, thanks :icon_smil ). Were there some others that I somehow missed? plmk, thanks.

Andy

nope, that was it for last week. Still trying to find the NPN info for Topps Luxury Box Basketball, that should be a nice one. Well... I guess I'll look out for the next update. I had hoped that others would be contributing to this besides me.

BTW - finally hit my 1000th post with this posting. Took a while... but here it is.

SingleDaddy... any chance the NPN page can be put on a regular update schedule? If I'm the only person using it, which I doubt, then I'll just keep the info I get to myself... otherwise, I've sent you a few new ones over the last week or so, and many have already expired from the current list. Any chance of an update by the weekend?

Also, I'm going to stop by the local card shop this weekend to buy some packs and get some new NPN addys...

Dalkiel
04-07-2005, 05:58 PM
I use the hell out of the NPN addresses on the NPN page. I hate my local card shop so I don't usually (ever) buy any packs these days, I just send off for the NPN's. So, please don't stop sending in the NPN addresses! I put them to good use!

If you want to post them here, until the list is updated, I wouldn't object. 8D

thekingpin

glad to hear I'm not the only one using the page... I just find it frustrating that the page isn't regularly updated. I PM SingleDaddy every time I find a new NPN

Dalkiel

Well, feel free to PM them to me too! Cut-n-paste FOR THE WIN! I promise to put them to good use. I'm working on my 3rd role of stamps.

We all have busy schedules. SingleDaddy updates them as fast as possible. I am uploading an update in 5min actually.

thekingpin
04-08-2005, 11:56 AM
Greg, all I'm asking for is a regular schedule, or at least a close to regular schedule. I don't think that's asking too much... and this way, everyone will know that on XYZ Day, the NPN page gets updated.

SingleDaddy has to clear out his PM box... it's full and he can't receive the new NPN I found...

greg bernhardt

Whether we make a schedule for the updates is up to Andy. I know currently he is busy with real life activities, so he can get back to you on that in a bit.

Greg... I haven't seen SingleDaddy on the boards much lately... and I've sent him about 7 new NPNs... just want to make you aware of this, as the NPNs I sent him only show up on one other board that I know of... where I posted them... You might want to push for an updated NPN list...

Yaga
04-24-2005, 10:54 PM
Which other board did you post those NPN's show up on? I've been looking for a couple of addresses (Timeless Treasures & Luxury Box), but haven't had any luck..

I think it's time a new Mod or Admin take over NPNs, sorry... but if SingleDaddy can't afford the time right now, it's probably better that someone else take it over. We all wish you well SingleDaddy...

Is it wrong to look at the box breaks and ask someone who ripped a box open for the NPN addresses? I know it probably makes me look cheap, but I'm interested in sending in for the high priced packs. By the way, thanks kingpin.

That's a great idea. Leaf Longevity football has one insert per pack but they have a limit of two entries. Regardless, if they bust a box of that stuff at Donruss/Leaf headquarters, they have to give the inserts away!!!:icon_lol:

Greg... SingleDaddy's PM box is full again... I think we should discuss someone taking over the NPN page until SingleDaddy's return. I'm willing to do it for the short term... but all the NPN reports are going to him right now... and we've only posted the ones I got thus far.

Greg, for some reason the page template that I'm working from has messed up the NPN page header, and the alignment of the tables is off too. Stupid Front Page doesn't do it correctly... if you, or one of the other Admins, could fix the page so it looks like the rest of the site, and can send me a new template to work from, that'd be great.

Otherwise... to all... enjoy the updated NPN page... please send me new ones as you find them! We're still missing Bowman Baseball 2005 Retail, 2005 Playoff Absolute Baseball, 2005 Topps Draft Picks & Prospects Football, 2005 Topps Total Baseball, 2005 Topps Chrome Series 2 Baseball, and many others that are already released
