Foil signature only with the 1-10 draft pick redemptions. What a massive let down by Select. Just when I was thinking Select actually got this Future Force release pretty spot on they go and drop a bomb like this. Very poor form from Select here. What are others thoughts on this?
It said on the redemption card something along the lines of 'to receive your signature card.....'There is certainly a massive hullabaloo about the foil signature redemption cards on Select's Facebook page, with people contacting the ACCC or threatening a class action against Select. As I have no interest in Future Force, can those that do shed some light on what has happened? Was it just assumed that the redemption signatures would be hand-signed autographs (as might normally be expected) or did Select state previously that they were foiled signatures?
I confused!
It was only revealed today that they'll be foil signatures. I think most are having a problem with the fact that these redemptions have been a big selling point. Falling two per case, I can understand why people would have been expecting a hand signed card and I suppose are rightfully upset.There is certainly a massive hullabaloo about the foil signature redemption cards on Select's Facebook page, with people contacting the ACCC or threatening a class action against Select.

It doesn't say signature redemption anywhere on the card, just Draft Pick Redemption. My interpretation of it was just a numbered card like the 1999 Tony Lockett Sydney Swans 1300 Goal Kicking Record card.
They issued a statement via Facebook (I don't know what other avenues) and the advertising never said they were a sig.Wow this truly is a new low.
Whether or not it was intentional it is extremely deceptive and select must issue a formal apology and corrective advertising. Absolute crap.

Its funny, I looked at that image about 10 times before I saw where it says signature.. That is just really really dodgy, I would like to think that it was a mistake and an oversight, but announcing after the release is really poor form. The fact that they have had to clarify it means they knew they were going to receive backlash over it.. Very disappointing.
Dear Valued Select Collectors
We welcome the feedback and understand your disappointment.
An oversight occurred at the time the redemption cards were produced as the redeemed cards were not intended by Select to be player autographed cards. As you would have noted our leaflets, wrapper, boxes and advertising material never mentioned the redemption cards as being player autographed cards. Unfortunately the oversight occurred with the word ‘signature’ inadvertently remaining in the mailing instructions.
There was never any intention by Select to mislead any of our collectors.
We understand the issue and sincerely apologise for the situation.
Select
