Panini America Responds to 2010 Certified Football Replacement Situation

Last week, some members of the trading card community vocally expressed their displeasure regarding a Sam Bradford Mirror Black 1/1 from 2010 Certified Football being used a customer service replacement.

Today, Panini America offers an official statement on the issue . . .

“To ensure quality product in the marketplace, it is Panini America‘s practice to pull product from the production run for quality control purposes. The cards from the product pulled for QC go to Customer Service to be used to correct any problems that may occur in an individual product. Extensive efforts are made to re-introduce rare cards to the pack-out before the cards are routed to Customer Service. However, under certain, unusual circumstances, this is not possible.”
