Cryptozoic Announces Changes to Autograph Policy – In an effort to aid distributors and retailers to make more effective buying decisions, Cryptozoic has made a change to the way in which they announce what specific autograph signers will be included in their products. In the past, Cryptozoic has waited until actually having the signed cards in-hand before making these announcements. Due to the fact that this often occurs mere weeks before the product’s pack-out and well past order deadlines, the company has acknowledged the frustration this can cause for distributors, retailers and even collectors.
Starting immediately, Cryptozoic will make a distinction between signers under contract and autographs in-hand. As posted on their website, Miranda Charsky said, “From now on, signers for each trading card set will be announced once we have signed contracts. This happens much earlier in the set development cycle, allowing a lot more time for collectors to have the relevant information to decide to order a product.”
With regards to the possible use of redemptions, she went on to say, “However, as it is still our policy never to include Redemption cards for something we don’t have in hand, and this means will not insert Redemption cards for Autograph signers that are not available when we must pack-out. Instead, we will work very had to make sure we still acquire the missed cards, and distribute them sometime in the future.”
In addition to the announced changes in the company’s policy regarding autographs, Cryptozoic also reiterated aspects of their product development philosophy focused on their “Fans First” company mission:
– Increased standard card thickness to make even Base cards very durable, and Wardrobe cards that don’t bubble out over the costume swatch
– Card-signed Autographs that were held and actually signed by the actor/actress, never stickers
– We’ve continued to work with licensors to decrease the frame on the front of Sketch cards, so artists have more room and flexibility to create the art that collectors are really excited to open
– Continuous pressure on printers to increase printing, cutting, collating, and pack-out quality, with increased checks along each stage of the production process to help catch any errors before cards make their way to collectors
– Only including Redemption cards for items that won’t fit into packs, never for cards we don’t have in hand
