Just a headups, when talking to ESP's Terry about this redemption card he said redemptions will only be honoured up until 31 August 2015. Not quite sure why the deadline...
For sure. Opening up old Select products is a blast. This would not be the case if redemptions had an expiry. Congratulations on the #001, I would have done exactly the same in removing the cards. Was the decision to pick up based around safety, cost or just a coincidence that your wife was nearby?
PS - Lucky you got this before I became a one team collector
Save them money on framing them! Stupid idea anyway! Incentive would have been just a signed jersey. Saved them heaps of money! Just $150 for the jersey!
My mistake, just reread the email:
"12 months after the release date Scott is the time limit, so the 1st of August 2015"
The expiry date surprises me. With so much unsold stock and about half of the #001's not yet located it just doesn't make sense.
Does the jersey only get framed upon receipt of the redemptions? If so why don't they go ahead and have all of the unredeemed #001's framed so they are ready to go and there does not have to be an expiry.
Imagine how gutted you would be cracking the Cam Smith #1 in September! Who knows if this timeframe thing is absolute or leniency will be shown, lets hope the latter.
Thanks for that, just coincidence really. Hadn't heard anything from ESP for ages and a month had ticked on from the 6 week turnaround date. Wife happened to be in Melbourne visiting family so I asked ESP to get the framing fast-tracked so it could get delivered to a local address in time for the return flight. To ESP's credit, it arrived with 48hrs. Came well packaged but still had my doubts on how it would handle international cartage (especially the glass) so wife bubblewrapped the crap out of it, then I crossed my fingers.
That was a good idea to bubble wrap, my Merrin #1 arrived damaged after a silly courier stood on it and cracked the frame.
ESP arranged for local framer to re-frame in a much better quality frame.
My redemption card has not been punched either.
Did you ask ESP for the letter confirming Mannering signed it.?
Because the redemption card gets framed as wellExpiry? That seems crazy, as said Select product still sells well years later for more than the original price because of the chance to score and have a redemption honoured. Come 1 Aug 2015 the value of any stock they still hold or the poor resellers still hold will fall considerably. Where's the consideration for these small businesses that support them?
I think they need a better business finance or marketing person because some of their decision are random at best.
Framing is a cost they would have budgeted for, so why not get them framed and hold it until redeemed.

This is not a reason to have an expiry date.Because the redemption card gets framed as well
Are there expiry conditions on the box or wrappers or on their website ? Are their t&cs spefically stated anywhere accessible to the public.
