A sad day in the hobby with Press Pass confirming on Facebook that they are shutting up shop. PP always made great cards and there customer service was pretty amazing, especially when compared to the other companies. They were true pioneers, being the first to put memorabilia in cards and some of their NASCAR designs have been the most innovative and attractive cards in the hobby. Unfortunately, without a big sports licence in a dwindling market, it seems they couldn't keep going.
Any way you look at this it isn't good for the hobby. We need more manufacturers in the hobby so there's more competition and creativity. Having them continually go under, or only having one manufacturer with exclusive deals to too many sports and no competition can't be a good thing for us collectors.
