[kesscards]

For us set collectors, something is missing nowadays, especially in most UD products...a checklist.  Going back to some of the earlier sticker sets that Panini has produced, I have no idea if I have a set or not because I don't know what the set runs to or if a number was not produced.  For example: in the 1997-98 sticker set, does sticker #5 exist?  And by the way, who is on some of those stickers?  The set is plentiful enough yer obscure enough that this site has no clue about them.   Most people on this board may not have a clue what this refers to, but for those who do, it is important to know who is on what card.<br />
<br />
I agree with those who would not mind seeing redemptions for full game-used items, not just swatches/patches.<br />
<br />
One more thing that I have not heard anything about...where are the cards going to be produced?  It will make a difference.  You have to assume that a set has to be produced in one location, be it Italy, the U.S., or wherever.  The shipping costs to get the cards worldwide may make the price points rather high, even for "lower end" products.  Check the postage for shipping a box of cards from the U.S. to Australia.  It would blow your mind.  I have done it and do not like to have to charge those rates, but have no choice.<br />
<br />
Those of you who say that the cards from a set can be produced in multiple locations have to ask yourselves: What would happen to serial numbered cards and/or plates if they are produced in more than one location?<br />
<br />
Personally I don't care if Panini comes in and Upper Deck and Topps go away.  If quality cards are produced at reasonable, or even semi-reasonable prices, then I will be on board.<br />

Thanks for reading my slightly divergent post.
