Ok, nothing major - but just comparing the 2 of them as far as redemptions. I personally prefer UD over Panini, I have forgiven them of all their past sins. I have tried much of the Panini product as well. Still prefer Upper Deck. The cards still look better, hold better value, and fewer redemptions. Panini does have some great sets and inserts, but still not there.
Anyway, I redeemed 3 redemptions through Panini, 2 - 5 weeks ago, 1 - 3 weeks ago. Still no update, and their site indicates nothing to say athlete signing, cards in stock, etc. Just have to sit and wait. One of them is a shield auto - kinda anxious about that one.
I redeemed 2 redemptions through Upper Deck, BOOM - next day both are noted as packaging for delivery. No waiting and an instant update!
Pretty obvious that UD is responding much better with their redemptions. I am sure some of you have some haunting stories for both - but this is what I experienced.
To be fair, all 5 cards redeemed are from 2011-12 sets so no disadvantage to either there.
Comments welcome. Thanks for reading.
