After much deliberation, I finally decided to pick up a box of National Treasures basketball. I am certainly glad I did. I only have a scan of the big hit, but it will make up for the rest. It is the only one of what I pulled that is available, if anyone is interested just let me know. It is for sale only. Enjoy! ??? GU /99(can't remember who this was, nobody good) Scottie Pippen GU /99 DeMar Derozan GU /99 James Harden Patch /10 Dexter Pittman RPA /99 Gordon Hayward GU Auto /50 Kevin Love GU Auto /15 and the big one... the really big one... John Wall RPA 34/99 |

Redemptions are in no way comparable to lottery tickets. When you buy a lottery ticket there are several qualifications. You know in advance that this is something you will have to redeem and that there will be a timetable for that process. It also states clearly on whatever ticket what that timetable will be. If you want to talk about scratch offs, there still isn't really a comparison. Once all top prizes are claimed or when the company stops payouts for those tickets the game is pulled from the market and destroyed. There is no chance, short of simply having the ticket for an extended period of time(with the knowledge of when/where/how/etc. it needs to be redeemed) and not cashing it in, of buying a lottery/scratch off ticket and not being able to redeem it. You won't purchase a ticket(from a valid retailer), see you won $xxx.xx, and not be able cash it in. It just doesn't work that way. Trading card companies, on the other hand, pull that crap all the time. If they want their older product on the shelves for years to come they should honor the redemptions. If not, then they should buy those boxes back and destroy them(honestly, that would just be stupid, which just leaves them with honoring their commitments). As long as they actually make the card there is really no reason for them to not honor a redemption. Storage, even of millions of autographed and game used cards, is fairly trivial when you think about the costs already incurred by a card manufacturer. If they didn't make the card, they should replace it. What it all comes down to in the end is that if companies want their products to stay on the shelves for an indefinite period of time, they need to continue to honor redemptions indefinitely. Otherwise they are, in my eyes, perpetrating a kind of fraud. Their sell sheets, checklists, and box odds would all be incorrect and misleading. Everybody hates redemptions because of what they are, but situations like the kind that GoGiants is in right now only make things worse. The card companies should understand that if they are going to continue to use redemptions, they are going to need to work with people so that these kinds of wrongs don't happen. |

Okay, here is the deal. I still can't get Ustream to record correctly. That said, I have no problem broadcasting. So, I will broadcast live on Ustream while I record with my camera. I will then post the video on Ustream if I can or Youtube if not. So, I will be going live shortly on Ustream. The URL is http://www.ustream.tv/channel/redbaron16-on-tcc. See you there! |

The package is Out for Delivery! There are a couple of bonus packs as well, I believe 2009 Sage Autograph. I think the fair way to distribute those would be that any member(not spot) that doesn't get a hit will go into a random to get the cards. If every member gets at least one hit then everyone will be part of the random drawing. Also, I have found out that the problem I am having with doing live videos is with my internet connection(more to the point, what my router is doing with the signal). If everything works correctly this evening the break will be live and then saved to my Ustream. If not, I may have to record the break and then post it online. If that is the case, I do apologize. That's everything, UPS usually delivers to my area in the afternoon, so the case should be there before 6:00 and I'll either go live or have the video posted around that time. Good luck all! |
