After having a day to think it over let me give my take on the whole deal.

First, I am sad to see them do this but not surprised.

The amount of time it takes to get the majority of Rookie Cards produced and packed out is enormous. Most sets have autographed RC and to get those for 50-70 players like a lot of the products have takes from game one until you see the first ones in about 4 1/2 months or more-- longer if they are on card.

So using that time frame they would have been putting out a lot of product Really late-- talking May or later before we see even 1 and then probably a lot more redemptions.

By pushing then to next year they would be able to get a jump on the rookies who played this year in terms of getting Auto's from them for the really early products.

In terms of do PAnini and UD getting a brake on this years fees, maybe or maybe they get to spread the missing product over the rest of the years on their deal.

Still would like to know what UD plans are for the rest of this year.
Anyone heard?
