Select Optimum 2021

I would be very surprised if it's the fact it's a gloss laminate finish. I just had somebody sign 50 cards, gloss laminate finish, left them to dry and not one customer has complained about any type of smudging or damage. Then again, there are different types of gloss laminate finishes, but I'm yet to see that be the case in my jobs.

I have seen cards signed with the right pens bubble up because of the laminate used on the cards.

Here are a couple of examples.





There are a few different types of laminate finish that can be used and if you don't use the right one you can get the bubbling effect on the cards when they are signed, even using the right markers.

Regardless of the reason they need to be replaced. Otherwise Select are not standing by the product and it’s also probably not legal to simply say we are not replacing anything. These cards have major issues and have a negative effect for collectors and card sellers alike.

This is also why I am noticing card companies heading the way of more limited edition cards and less signatures. Less cost and less likely hood of the issue we are seeing. Would be funny if they palm the blame onto something or someone else. I am a collector as far as I am concerned I buy from Select and they are wholly responsible for any defects.

So this means the signatures are getting scratched in the packs themselves? Because surely Select would not place in the packs already like this and stop calling me Shirley .

I beg to differ.

I am not going to break even.
