Topps or upper deck need to be allowed to make football and see if we get better prices

Been a while since I watched that but I didn't sense any dishonesty. Your insinuation that he is lying about being upset about missing out on retail sales just doesn't make sense to me. If they are worried about missing out on retail or resale profit they could easily raise the the prices of their products on retail shelves. Which they really haven't in years. A blaster is still around $20. A Hanger is around $10. Fat packs about $5.
Panini does sell off their website. Better be quick, or forget it on hot products. What is exactly wrong with that? What pisses me off most about Panini is their redemption bullshit. I have some redemptions that have not been fulfilled going on 4+ years. And points? Who the **** wants those?
I agree, Topps and Upper Deck should make football. Even though it would further saturate and devalue the market somewhat. But on the other end of that Panini needs to be allowed to have MLB logos, team names, autograph rights. Which means Topps and UD needs to drop their exclusive contracts as well if they were allowed produce football.
Panini isn't they only dog in the house with exclusive contracts.
