So why couldn't NT be released at the National?

[celtics]

I thought the reason was because they didn't want redemption's but I've got 3-4 redemption's in each case.

[Rabie1]

No. it is because the product overall was not ready. they need to make these cards.

NT has its own hype...why waste that at National when you are trying to sell other stuff?

[inopethflames]

it was probably a production-time issue, i dont think they woulda gotten a ton of autos back in a couple weeks, so they probably needed more time to just produce the cards, apparently.

[xavieronly1]

They need to sell 7 products that were made within 2 months before Nationals.

Panini are just terrible and all they want to do is to destroy our lives. i swear i made an album with before and after pictures of me. before panini made bball cards and after. i am a mess.

BC if they dropped nt right after preferred they would have done even more damage to preferred and sellers.. That is why preferred is at 1300 a case right now and will continue to drop. While people say NT will drop when IMMAC/Flawless drop I think they are wrong b/c IMMAC will be just as bad of a cluster #@#@#@#@ as NT... I don't have much hope for flawless either esp at 3600-4k a case out of the gate.

Isn't it funny how a monopolizing basketball card manufacturer with years of experience and a (probably) ridiculously high bankroll, has SO MUCH TROUBLE with the simplest tasks? Such as planning high-end product releases during the season, spread out over intervals to maximize popularity and profitability?

Some smart guys they got workin' there!

This is interesting... I think Immac will be fine, but will Flawless bc too much money to really do well? I know it will sell some but can anyone who busts a case recover from 3500 per case? Maybe NT will seem appetizing.

If Nationals came out on time, Preferred would have tanked in a few hours not the 3 days it took.

And you're helping take a stance against them by not buying their product..... Oh wait.

:rolleyes:

not enough interns to pack up all the cases.

I would quit that job just to pack 8 products in 2 months.

They were waiting for Avery Johnson and Steve Kerr to sign.
