Security guarding school buses full of card submissions...
It does sound like they are using camaras, chips, technology to provide a safe and secure haven for cards awaiting grading.
Raise prices to curb demand... hmmm, doing that would increase profits. Announcing and following through with a delay in grading and card return would have curbed demand, but that may have resulted in a decline in profits.
Reading that article had me thinking about (illegal) drug suppliers, drug traffickers, and the users (the addicted). And I see a few similarities in meth, cocaine, and plastic card slabs. It seems an addiction. But I guess collecting ball cards (ungraded) is an addiction too, in a way.
It was an interesting article. Matters were open to the public when the company was public; going private allows them reveal what they choose.
An interesting article. It's all about the money.
