Release date announced for Ultimate Memorabilia 5th Edition

In The Game, Inc. is please to confirm the final release date for the much anticipated and sold out Ultimate Memorabilia 5th Edition.

All of the slabbed cards from Beckett Grading Services have now been shipped to us and we will begin the packing process on Tuesday May 31st. We will have product to ship on Thursday June 2nd and our release date will be Thursday June 9th.

We apologize for the unexpected delay in the release of this product but we were waiting for several players to return their cards to us. We determined that we did not want any redemption cards in this product.

Collectors have asked why we just didn't pack out the product without the players we were waiting for and make our original May 31st release date. We want to remind them that each card in this product was numbered and without the cards of the players were waiting for, we would not have had the 10,000 Ultimate Autograph Cards to pack out.

In addition, we have read that the two holidays, last Monday in Canada and this Monday in the United States had an impact on the scheduling of our release date. That is not true. We are working through both of these holidays. We will have time to have our holidays, later in June.

We want to wish you a very happy, healthy and safe Memorial Day Weekend and thank you for your indulgence with respect to the release of what will be the best hockey trading card series we have ever produced.

In The Game, through your support. has made it through this difficult season and hope for better times ahead. We know that collectors, dealers and distributors budget for new releases, especially high priced releases. We also know that the uncertainty of a release date causes problems in the marketplace. We apologize for our delay, it could not have been avoided. And thank you all again for your patience. I hope you have as much fun breaking this product as we did making it for you.
