Write to the NHLPA about their decision to give UD an exclusive

[Pominville]

We have all just seen Panini's last product National Treasures, and now that it truly starts to feel like its over i mailed the responsible part about it. How they could ditch a more innovative brand to of all things give a monopoly to a less innovative one.

Feel free to send them a personal message about the decision through their webpage:

A nice idea, but the decision has been made and they're not going to undo it.

Unfortunately there never was anything we could do about it. Whether we liked or hated it nothing at all we could do. The only way to actually make a statement is if everyone doesn't buy any of the UD Product but that will never happen.

That's exactly it - the PA has shown many times that they only listen to money. So if you want to catch their attention, vote with your wallet.

I dont think anyone here is young enough to believe different. To vote with the wallet is very good, but it is also important to let them know that's what you're doing.

At most you'll get a nice pithy canned response from them.

It does not matter. My mail to them included a pledge to go ITG during the current arrangement.

Im sure your not the only one to write to them however why would they care when UD writes them a $20 million dollar check or whatever it is? Ill take a $10 million dollar check and you can write or do whatever you want I wouldn't care.

If you get 75% of the hockey card collectors/business people to avoid all the products then UD and the PA will have a problem. However that's is essentially impossible.

Panini is still producing stickers which is always fun.

How the collectors react must remain to be seen, but to think that Panini did not put forward a pitch to the NHLPA at all i think is far fetched.

Lets not make this into a Aspergers rage discussion, to write them a letter can never hurt.
