Panini America has had the sole NBA license for NBA Trading Cards for over a year now and they have already ruined th Hobby. Manufactured patches, damaged cards, no quality controlling, 1 year + turn-over on redemptions they are supposed to send out a replacement for 4-8 months after the card has been redeemed. On top of it all, the cards are horrible looking, WAY overpriced, and virually worthless, they have a book value of half what an Upper Deck or Topps card of the same caliber would book. This has got to stop, Panini is just spitting in the face of the collectors who have supported this hobby for so long and dont really care to make any change since they have a monoply over the NBA trading cards. Its time for the collectors to take back this hobby from those who are determined to destroy this industry!
