Panini - you nailed it - WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too many redemptions, and their CS is the worst of the big 3. Then they take away my favorite set - Classics. Used to be my favorite - now they're nearly off the radar. We'll see what Certified brings this year, maybe they can REDEEM themselves - lol)
Upper Deck - still make nice looking cards, probably THE nicest looking cards - but no NFL license so they are irrelevant to me now.
Topps - Steady, yet unspectacular. Best value in Retail. CS is poor. 90 of my purchases of 2011 products have been Topps - only by default. also, at this point - had the BEST product of the year (Finest) and WORST (or perhaps most disappointing would be a better description) product of the year (Legends).
