Panini Responds To Bradford 1/1 Being Used As A Replacement

Last week there was a little uproar when collectors discovered that Panini never inserted the Sam Bradford 2010 Certified Mirror Black 1/1 Autographed NFL Logo Patch card into packs.  Instead they used it as a replacement.  This got a few collectors upset.  This afternoon Panini released the following statement concerning this issue:

“To ensure quality product in the marketplace, it is Panini America‘s practice to pull product from the production run for quality control purposes. The cards from the product pulled for QC go to Customer Service to be used to correct any problems that may occur in an individual product. Extensive efforts are made to re-introduce rare cards to the pack-out before the cards are routed to Customer Service. However, under certain, unusual circumstances, this is not possible.”

So it sounds like the Bradford was pulled during their quality control check.  I guess thats a possibility 🙂
