I have a question about...
|
- Do you replace factory damaged cards and if so, how do I send them in and where?
We do have a replacement policy for factory damaged cards. Please return damaged product to: The Upper Deck Company, attention-quality assurance dept., 985 Trade Drive Suite A, North Las Vegas, NV 89030. Please enclose a letter that includes your name, address, an explanation of the issue, and a list of the cards enclosed. if card-for-card replacement is desired, we will replace up to 40 cards per package request. If you are mailing cards of value, we highly recommend mailing via certified, registered, or insured; some means to protect successful delivery to upper deck. The upper deck company is not responsible for lost, damaged or misdirected mail. Our replacement policy is to replace any damaged product for 8 months after its release date or while supplies last. Our goal is to offer a 4-6 week turn around upon receipt of damaged product.
- Can you tell me the value of cards or your production numbers of specific cards?
Although we do suggest a retail price on our products, ultimately the market values are determined by supply
and demand. The upper deck company does not estimate current, or future, values. The best resources for market
value estimates are the various monthly price guides, which are available at most card shops. It is not the
policy of the upper deck company to release production numbers, however all of our products are limited to
maintain product integrity and value. Any numbers that you may hear quoted are speculation.
