This is mainly for resellers and/or distributors...
Right now we have to pre-order a product up to 6 months in advance, with just a sell sheet...
We have no recourse if the manufacturers f*ck up or changes a product. They already have our order.. If a change is made, Can you say I don't want this product once you order it? and continue buying from said source
In my opinion, the only way for products to be good, would be to change the way the products are ordered....This way, will be a great way to improve whats in the products...
If you had a completed checklist with sell sheet when ordering, you can make a informed decision whether to buy it or not because you have all the info you need.
(And I am talking about the $80 and up boxes, Where the auto/relics are not a bonus.. For example, They promote high end rookie autos and you get a Choo Freeman plain white relic in a Triple Threads product).
1. Manufacture makes the cards w/out redemptions, printed, packed and ready to ship.
(I think if they did this, there would not be a need for redemption as if you don't have it when printing, you leave them out) Do they add redemptions because they dont have it ready, or they dont want to use them all as they expire afterwards.
2. Send checklist & sell sheet of completed products to dealers/distributors..
3. Direct Dealers/Distributors order (or not) based on that info.
4. Ship product the following week...
Because manufacturers would be the ones eating the product if it didn't sell well, I believe that would increase value in the products and products would not be over produced.
They would be forced to make winning products or they lose out...
Look how the 2012 Topps Heritage High set was sold... Limited to 1000, Sold Online only, you saw the checklist before you ordered it, and it was a success... sold out in a few hours....
2013 Topps Heritage High Set was limited to ???, Sold online only, You saw the checklist before you ordered it, and it showed some autos will be redemptions and it took weeks before it sold out...
2014 Topps Heritage High Set wasn't limited, wasn't online, had to pre-order before we saw the checklist... Or you could wait and order it later. I see it selling for 63.00 a set, way below cost...
So guess for me, Not to pre-order any high end product and if it's good when its out after seeing checklist, buy it, if not let it go...
Sorry for the long read but It probably will never change for everyone, but it will for me...
What do you guys think?
