That can't be good. It will be bad for collectors, but I have to think a cessation in UD products for 3-5 months would kill a lot of the hobby shops in Canada.

That's not good. I'm looking forward to SPA it's my favourite product each year.

Definitely not good news if it becomes true. All in all i think UD has done a pretty good job the last five years since they have had the exclusive and i really hope they can continue producing Hockey cards. If they don't i can just imagine how popular ITG products will get as i just dont see Panini having that big of a following in Hockey, but i could be wrong.

interesting. I certainly hope this isn't true.

Blowoutcards just posted a new release schedule and it still had all the UD products. They were just bumped back two or three weeks. http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/new-release-calendar/803-new-release-calendar.html#post4305

I too hope UD can circle the wagons and stay in the mix. Surely they have their faults but they do many things right. Not having them a part of any sport's product line up is a shame and with hockey being one of their remaining strengths it would be a devestating blow to Canadian hobby shops that live and die by their hockey wax sales.

I am calling not true on this.


I can't say why, but I am still calling not true.

You would have the info that would allow you to do this, however, two separate unrelated shops emailed me the info, and I just posted what they told me.

tweets I just received from UpperDeckHockey...

UpperDeckHockey RT @UpperDeckSports: UD’s on course and in full throttle mode with its upcoming NHL releases. No cancellations or drops. Rumors are false and misleading. -TM

UpperDeckHockey RT @UpperDeckSports: Some player autographs have been late in arriving for packouts, but that’s not putting any launches in jeopardy. Full speed ahead. -TM
