Shipping in waves makes good business sense. If dealers know they can get the boxes faster from a West Coast distributor than from one on the East Coast, the East Coast distributors will lose sales. I can understand why they complained.

The way I understand it most dealers already have there relationships and accounts set up with the distributors. I know my local guy goes primarily through 1 distributer but also has an account with 2 others. And has a buying quota for the price level he is given.
Of course I am sure they could get it from anyone as long as they have a resale license, but most stick with who they know and have accounts with.
Point being I think the big issue was just dealers wanted to break cases first so they could be the first offering the singles on ebay. Look at the Star Wars sketch cards the first ones hit the market went for a premium before the market value was established.
I know a guy who had one of the first Vin Diesel auto's (on ebay) from Riddick and it went for (I think) about $300-$400 I just checked ebay and there is one at $95 with 12 hours left. ANYWAY - long story short who would want the other guy to get their case first.
Also anything shipping from the west coast to east coast usually takes 5 UPS days anyway.

From what I understand - they haven't yet! But who knows?
If they have it means UK boxes have redemptions in!!!

Are the 2 missed Autograph Cards from the list?
From the 15 admitted? Or however 2 Cards those were originally already times mentioned and are not yet confirmed? (There was a Rumour for 2 more Autos)

Another message board has info that the boxes will now ship November 4, and that there may be redemption cards. Does anyone here know about this?

So the news is that they are to SHIP on the 4th, and not actually arrive at distributors until after that, right? So sometime enxt week we should all hopefully get them, right? I just hope they are out before the trading card show I am going to on the 13th.

Here is an email I just got from someone I bought a case from
"Dave,
Looks like there may be a slight delay in shipping of the HP Update cards.
But, it'll be worth it!"
I don't know what it'll be worth it means, but that was the email.

Uh oh -- the dreaded words "slight delay." Slight as in two days, or slight as in two weeks?
By the way, does anyone have a larger scan of the sell sheet with the autos and dual costume?

ARGHHHHH I HATE ARTBOX They make great Cards but the Organisation is ................... WHY get 20 People 20 different informations from Artbox?  ?? Why is it so hard for Artbox to make definitive Infos public on the OWN HP? Like Inkworks, Rittenhouse....... We pay for the cards, we are customers but get no Infos :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( |
