Panini has lost their mind

[sparty07]

First, over the weekend they quietly release that expired redemption cards are now officially worthless via a tweeted answer to a question. And now they are charging $65 for a single card, or $180 for 3, with one guaranteed auto /99 or less. So in the $65 option you may not even get an auto

I agree but it been working for them in the other product line so we shall see if they are crazy or doing it right. Time will tell shortly.

p.s. I was so bummed about the older redemptions as I have a few cases I would buy as I knew they were still good indefinitely. Well that just went out of the window.

$180 for a chance at a Kakko auto?

They need to milk their Kakko exclusive for every cent they can.

Cards look awesome though I think.

I may be mistaken here but I think It is one autograph per pack with one guaranteed /99 or less autograph per 3-pack lot.

[sparty07]

You are correct, I re-read it. Everything is auto'd, but your odds are 1/3 to get auto /99 or less. Still seems expensive for a base auto.

I may be mistaken here but I think It is one autograph per pack with one guaranteed /99 or less autograph per 3-pack lot.

that's expensive but i have seen worst...

Wait what? I had 8 redemptions outstanding from them. Tried for years to get in contact by phone, e-mail, twitter and FB but never got so much as an answer from anyone. I had given up hope a couple years ago when lo and behold a giroux NT auto showed up out of the blue so I thought stuff my still he getting sent out. They updated their customer service this weekend and I put in for replacements and now all I get is a "FU" for buying their products and supporting them over the years? No words for that kind of behaviour. I'll never spend another cent with them if this is the case. Atrocious business practice IMO.


Edit: Oris this just redemptions in old products that are expired? If that's the case, no different than UD.

3 cards 180????

Panini lost their mind all right, but did so when they WERE honoring decade-old redemptions for a sport they no longer sell product for. They were paying staff to pull and ship these with 0 chance of making money on this sport in the forseeable future. They went way above and beyond and I'm grateful for the redemptions that they did honor. This decision is long overdue, IMO.
