Kings Goalie Jonathan Quick Has One Word for Collectors Holding His Redemptions





And that one word is a succinct, sincere, hand-scribbled “Sorry!” He wrote it last week — fittingly atop a redemption card for one of his Jumbo Jersey Autographs from 2012-13 Limited Hockey — during a Panini America signing session when the Los Angeles Kings were in town to play the Dallas Stars.
The card instantly became a compelling conversation piece even before he autographed the bottom of it. But Quick did much more than offer a written apology to collectors during his time with Panini America officials. He got a crash course in the redemption card process, and signed some cards — including Social Signatures and Inscriptions — for upcoming releases.
Heck, the Stanley Cup champion was even so accommodating as to film a special edition of Panini Unwrapped with Panini America NHL Brand Manager Chris Barr. Fittingly, the duo busted 2012-13 Limited Hockey, a box on which Quick is featured and that he signed after the break.

So he apologizes for the redemption wait times, then proceeds to sign new cards for upcoming products that haven't been released? Why not sign the redemptions?

Uhmmm

Yeah, I didn't really get that either.

Question 1. Why is that redemption card at the Panini facility rather than in packs?

Question 2. Why sign a redemption card that is going to be in packs rather than sign the actual card and just insert them in packs? Or is this card never even going to be inserted into packs? In which case, why sign it? And again, why wasn't the redemption in a pack already?


My mind has been successfully boggled. I could be missing something, but it makes no sense to me....

I've had nothing but horrific and rude experiences with Panini in the past regarding redemptions and customer service, so the fact they may be doing things alittle "backwards" wouldn't completely shock me...
