Interesting Certified Error Announced

[sjw241]

I know people make mistakes
But
This is a national million dollar corporation that sells products to make money

Mistakes could be eliminated if they hired people to inspect the cards and make sure things were right and all

Newspapers have mistakes everyday and they have professional editors with English degrees and they still miss things. You are too hard on these people! And like someone said above, the person or people that missed it would have been given an ear full for sure.

This is a national million dollar corporation that sells products to make money

Automakers sell cars to make money, yet we still have recalls.
Food producers sell a product to make money, yet we have lysteria outbreaks.
The USPS sorts billions of letters every day, yet sometimes they get sent to the wrong destination.

More and more automation means less humans to do quality control. The production line moves so rapidly from printing, to cutting, to packing, to boxing these types of errors are harder to detect until it's too late. Even if errors are caught, there is a point in the process where it would cost more to fix the error than to release it and say, "Oooops. We goofed!" (which is what seems to have happened here)

I would love companies to hire more quality control people. It would mean less unemployment. Two problems, though. First, the cost of another QC employee would not gaurantee perfection (people still make mistakes). Second, to have the kind of QC you want would probably mean slowing down the production lines.

Both of these things would cost the company more money without increasing revenue. Loathe to lose profit they would pass these additional costs onto the consumer. Are you willing to pay more for this addded quality control?

How much more would you be willing to pay for the guarantee of an errorless set?

Show me a card with the wrong jersey swatches. A card with the autograph sticker placed upside down. A card with a name misspelled or the wrong player's photo.

A little more research and effort catches pre-production errors before printing. A hand-assembled jersey cards deserve more scrutiny.

Those are errors that should companies should be embarassed by.

I'm not willing to pay more that quality of service should already be included in the 100.00 I'm handing to them
I'm not singling out cards, it's not okay on auto makers or meat or any business

The only thing this hurts is the company. We still get to collect cards, but it's more embarassing to them. ITG 1/1's errors was a tough pill to swallow, they responded and did the best they could to make things right in the end.

We are obviously not going to agree on this.

While I expect to get my money's worth for anything I buy, to hold a company to a standard of 100% perfection at all times is simply unreasonable.

When you run your own business with hundreds, or thousands, of employees and you guarantee perfect results every time (and back it up with results) I will admit that you are right.

Think about it though we have come along way for errors. Remember opening pro set an there's 15-20 errors per CARD lol

Corrected :)

Less products with less parallels would mean less mistakes and Better Quality Products.

With the amount of product these companies are churning out to the buyer, it would be impossible to catch every error. Humans mess up. But, if the companies would limit their production to less sets with less ridiculous amounts of parallels and less garbage jersey and auto cards....there would be less product to monitor and better quality with fewer mistakes. I would like one company to step up just once with a typical set collectors set. #1-200......no parallels.......no autos......no game used.......just a limitted print.......a limitted number of sets produced, divided up into packs and sold worldwide. The demand would be enough to sell the product. The trade values would be high for anyone who purchased them and the quality of the cards would not vary from customer to customer.....

i respect recalls, but i dont respect the mistake.
selling a product for premium dollar calls for error free items(in my mind)

its like oppening a high end resteraunt and making a mistake by putting a rat in their food.
i make lots of food so there is bound to be errors.

Actually, it's more like opening a high-end restaurant with the menu released ahead of time, and forgetting to order the main ingredient for an appetizer.

So you won't be able to get lobster risotto. There's still mushroom risotto, if you want risotto, or oyster rockefeller, or prosciutto and melon.

The next set will have all the base cards, but might have errors in one of the autograph cards. Just like next time you go to the restaurant, the steak may be slightly overcooked for someone else in it.
