BETWEEN THE PIPES - CANCELED?
No.
It is well known that the current economic
conditions are very difficult for collectors and manufacturers alike.
Unfortunately, for In The Game, this
resulted in very disappointing sales for the 2008-09 Between The Pipes.
"Last week I had to make a decision
based on the advanced sales of Between The Pipes, whether or not to cancel the
release of this product, or not" reported ITG President Dr. Brian H. Price. "I
consulted with several distributors, dealers and collectors and determined that
this would not be fair to those who wait to collect this product every year. A certain
number of autograph cards, game-used memorabilia cards and Masked Men inserts had already been
produced. So I decided that rather than cancel or delay the product, I would
reduce the number of cases produced and therefore increase the number of inserts
in the boxes that had already been ordered."
This means that collectors will find
more insert cards (autograph cards, game-used memorabilia cards and Masked Men inserts) than the ratios
stated on the boxes.
"Rather than punish our loyal
collectors, I decided to reward them." Price said.
Between The Pipes releases March 26th.

In The Game Loses A Valuable Family Member
Sadly on March 23rd at the Newmarket Hospital surrounded by
his family, Kenneth Milton Whitmell Sr. passed away.
Born in 1928 in Porquis, Ontario, Ken Sr. married Mignonne Tremblay also
from Porquis in 1952. The couple spent their entire lives in this tiny Northern
Ontario town and raised a family of four daughters (Shirley, Peggy, Bonny and
Sherry) and one son (Kenneth Jr.)
Ken Sr. was self-employed his entire life. Some of his business
ventures included owning a service station, a bus line and a trucking company.
He leaves behind
10 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.
Mr. Whitmell was
an integral part of the In The Game Production Team working on all of our
high-end products including Ultimate Memorabilia and Superlative Hockey.
He passed on a
solid work ethic to Ken Jr. our Vice President of Production and Chris
Berlinghoff our Production Manager.
He will be missed
by all. |
