Oh man I can see the people screaming if it gets delayed again. You would think wrestling fans would know that dealing with some of these guys isn't going to be easy. But in end when all these on card/first time certs get released. It will be worth it. Topps and WWE have stickers, I'll take the delay and on card. I hope you didn't pay some of them upfront much. May never see the cards returned.
They 97-98 WCW Nitro set had some guys never return cards.

It's being delayed again? Ugh. Not going to complain because I loves me some on-card. But man... REALLY want to rip some of this.

BG and the inner circle of Leaf top dogs have some big decisions to make.
Inserting a bunch of redemptions is going to add some serious cost to production. If it's 10 or less you almost gotta bite the bullet and print redemptions. Then have headache of filling and added postal cost of sending them out. Also with some of these guys will they ever return the cards. Then Leaf has to find substitute signers/more unexpected costs... Then we get all the crying about redemptions and having to pick replacements. Not all duckies and bunnies running a card company like most people think...

FCB Leaf forum, your breaking news leader!

Look forward to updates on Wrestling set.
My gut feeling is Leaf goes ahead with redemptions on missing guys. But I would find some back up signers to have deals worked out with as possible substitutes.
With all wrestling signings/conventions of old school guys. Could find some decent names.

At least someone is doing something about this. I commend Brian. I'd rather wait and get 90% of what you're suppose to then a redemption that won't be fulfilled and get an Angel Pagan or Mike Kafta auto in it's place.

Yeah 55 I kinda agree. More ON CARD autos LEaf can get into pack out the better. Even with the wait/delay.
Look at Fleer Retro that UD delayed forever. Not even sure when it was first said to come out. But look now, stuff is blowing the roof off the basketball card market. Don't hear anyone complaining about the wait for it now.
I know WWE Topps just came out. Full of sticker autos. Only real gems in it are Lawler sketches and HHH autos. Legends sticker autos are nice, but some of those guys are going to be in Leaf on card. See Tito Santana....Hammer Valentine I know is one for sure along with Volkoff. Not sure about Snuka. BG can you post auto checklist or I can dig it up on baseball board thread. Has Valentine and Volkoff signed? Beauty Leaf has in this product is all on card and many first time certified autos of guys. Or guys who may have only one other cert or only sticker stuff.

Any Dino Bravo / Curt Hennig / Rick Rude in this product ? I know it'd be a cut, but just wondering, as I'd need a new set of trousers (and multiple Swiss bank accounts) if there were ...
