IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - THEFT INVOLVED!

[Leaf]

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
2012 Leaf Metal Andrew Luck Green Prismatic ERROR /99 (Mispelled name)

We produced 99 cards, however at the time of intended release, we stated print run at 89 cards (as the printer never returned cards #1/99-10/99 to us.) We shredded cards 11-99 when we realized the error.
It appears #1/99-10/99 are slowly starting to appear on ebay.

We have contacted the printer to investigate the THEFT, we have notified eBay of this theft and we are contacting the DALLAS police Today!...
PLEASE do not buy these cards. They are stolen and the authorities will be tracking these down for return to us for destruction.
DO NOT support a THIEF!.... Thanks for the time and sorry for any inconvenience.. BG

Thanks for the update, but I am sorry that this incident had to happen in your company.

 

[Leaf]

This has gone on with printers for years (mainly in the Northeast). We have been VERY lucky not to have more problems with this. But, it makes me so angry I will personally, relentlessly pursue the culprit with every ounce of energy I have.
I wouldnt want to be the thief right now.

You've been having pretty bad Luck with these cards between the legal matter and now production theft. Good luck getting it cleared up. It's nice to see you're passionate about getting it resolved. It seems some of the other companies don't give a crap about anything once it hits the secondary market. That's a big reason why I'll always be rooting for the success and expansion of Leaf.

Here is the video of me shredding the cards,.... It is a rough video (no editing as I didnt expect to be releasiong on short notice)

Looks like the same seller has sold/is selling them all. Should be a pretty open and shut case. Good luck BG. Sorry this happened.

 

[Shi Guy]

Best of luck in the investigation. Hopefully you can eliminate one more reject from the ranks of sleazy ebay sellers.

 

[AmishDave]

Go get 'em, Brian !!! Good luck with the case and I hope it all works out for ya !

 

[G $MONEY$]

I hope you catch that slimy criminal!!!

 

[LazerShow15]

This sucks man, but please tell me you are with a different printer now. You have had some bad LUCK lately, especially with ANDREW LUCK.

 

[Leaf]

We have made substantial headway with this issue... Once party has been identified... I expect one more shoe to fall Monday...
Just wanted to make people aware.

[isotopes4]

Good news. Hopefully this winds up generating some good press for Leaf. Are you going to try to get the cards that have been sold back from the buyers, as they are stolen property?

 

[Leaf]

We are having some cards returned to our offices Monday by the ebay seller... there are still cards unaccounted for...
We will have the authorities involved to insure all is handled correctly...
We will be doing everything possible to retrieve the copies sold on ebay recently.. BG

I really hate to be that guy, and I have always supported you Brian; but if I came across one of the cards, there is no way you'd get it back.

I was wondering if they were backdoored. He has a ton of plates, as well as Black and Blue parallels from Draft and so many Andrew Luck Army cards you'd think they were 1980s baseball cards. Plus he has 8 Luck plates listed.

You didn't miss much, it was a video of Brian shredding every leaf error card of Andrew Luck, it was rather difficult to watch.
