I'm thinking I might just try to find a complete base set of Donruss on eBay and spend the money I would save on that on Select (which I enjoyed opening this year despite the price increase).Honestly, now that I think about it, I'm not in too big of a hurry to give Panini more money.
Their absurd hobby prices and refusal to acknowledge and rectify the trickle down effect on retail is a pretty massive slap in the face to people like me, who have literally supported them since they rolled out their first product - 2009-10 Prestige Basketball.
I bought 11 hobby boxes the day it came out - closest I've ever come to opening a case.
And never slowed down, especially on basketball, up until this year.
They don't even have the decency to respond when I reach out to them ... even if it's a token "hey, we got your letter, there's nothing we can or want to do about it, thanks for the feedback" type of brushoff.
Even before the rise of the Doosh Bag Network, Panini was doing shady things like charging $13 for 5 junk Rewards Points cards, shipped first class in a bubble envelope.
You know, the one that should have cost me $4 ... not $13?
Anyway, yeah, I might just buy singles of whoever the Warriors and Kings pick, and call it good.
Got to get that $9 back somehow.
