Wow! it seems like its coming at us at light speed. With the recent release of the 3rd edition it as seem to have jump started many things for us. The books are already selling quickly and we have already begun work on the 4th edition. We're beginning to learn of teams that will be doing cards for the 2008 season. I just received an email from Scott Prusha, Marketing Director for Donruss-Playoff and he says that both the New York Dragons and the Dallas Desperado's will have team sets produced from Donruss. Although we haven't learned of any details on how they'll be distributed, he does say that as soon as they become available he will get the details to us and we'll have sample cards that we will post. They'll probably be like last years Dallas set that gave one card per home game away to the first 5,000 fans.
As for us, BMP, we have reset our company goals for the next three years and are focused on the task at hand. Our goal is and will continue to help bring the sport/hobby of Indoor and Arena Football into every home in America.
With each edition, our vision of what is to come for Indoor/Arena Football and their trading cards changes slightly for the better. Each year more teams are doing cards and each team continues to produce a better product. To produce a quality product that collectors are willing to embrace, there is no cheap way out. Teams that produce quality cards pay a higher premium.
We have enjoy grading each set as they become available throughout the year in our "Product Preview" section, we started this just before the 2007 season and have had only positive responses from it. Collectors can get a feel for what to expect with these sets and to be honest when a set is selling for $30 each, I'd like to know a little something about what I'm buying before I shell out the money for a few sets.
Lastly, we're considering bring aboard another writer, we think that he'll have another creative perspective to add to the hobby. We are hoping to add specific individuals for the specific areas of the hobby to increase content and attention to detail. Thanks again to all the fans and collectors for your support!!!
