NEWSFLASH - April 4, 2008;
Fleer bankrupt.....again! News just in that the parent company of Fleer's second coming, Upper Deck has gone bankrupt. It is believed that all went astray after a group of Australians believed to be from an online group called "Ozcards" staged a massive rally last month calling for all customers of the company to boycott until Upper Deck decided to improve the way they handle their customer service. According to a local source, Upper Deck denied all accusations and stood their ground, continuing to ignore customer emails and also continuing to send out crappy replacement cards after their Redemption program went balls up. Hence the sack is now empty for Upper Deck as they will be officially shutting their doors in 5 days.
Many are calling the rogue group heroes for the liberation of the sportscard hobby across the globe. Their is now news of large liberation parties to be held in all the major countries that Upper Deck exported to that are said to involve major 'burning ceremonies' of previously released Upper Deck products. More news as it comes to hand.
NEWS UPDATE - April 24, 2008;
Assets from the Upper Deck Bankruptcy have now been successfully auctioned. Some winning applicants have decided to pay for their auction lots in half US dollars and half Disney dollars. The cunning winners say it's according to their disgust from the recent poor distribution of cards in boxes in the later of Upper Deck's Product releases, many of which held no complete base sets and contained up to 50% of duplicate product.
Seems Upper Deck have screwed it's customers long enough and now it's time for the bankrupt company to bend over and take the punishments the public dish out.
Also among the winners on the day was that same pioneering group from "Ozcards", who won several auction lots. The group took hold of their winnings and requested that the proprietor contact them by email for receipt of payment for the lots. To this day no payment has been received for the lots, however, they have recieved some nice 'Kit Kat Cookie' wrappers for potential replacement for the actual payment. The value of the wrappers is, as of yet, unknown.
