How do we "pause production" on a completed card set? Good question.
How are we going to produce "corrected product" for make good boxes? Good question.
Where are the dual autos? Good question.
Will we answer any of these questions? Good question.
"The cards are in terrible condition"
PLL: π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦
"Dual autos are missing, HUGE issue!"
PLL: π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦
"WLL cards are hitting too low, BIG problem"
PLL: Oh ok, we'll print and send you some free base cards! *Pats self on back* Glad we could help so perfectly!!

In a totally not expected (sarcasm) development, Mike Rabil has completely ignored the missing high value dual auto cards and thinks shipping base WLL solves this. @PremierLacrosse is such an absolute joke when it comes to trading cards, and just general ethics for that matter.
I believe lacrosse can explode into the wider world of trading cards in a big way. Our cards have sold for 4 and 5 figure amounts. But I think it's very clear @PremierLacrosse is not the company capable of making it happen. License the cards to someone who can. Please. /End
All jokes aside, this is really really sad situation. PLL kick-started the resurgence in lacrosse cards, but the community that formed as a result is what drives it forward. PLL helping that happen 6 years ago needs to be acknowledged. However..... /π§΅
I don't believe they care about collectors and only care about their merch sales numbers. Hopefully someone can convince them they are only hurting the sport by not elevating our card collecting to the broader hobby. /5
Sorry we haven't said much about the missing Fieldside inserts! We just wanted to get thru the weekend and sell as many defective boxes at the games to you suckers as possible before disclosing what we've known for two weeks. Give us another few days to score some online sales!
Oh shit I forgot to announce the release date and checklist in advance again. Uhhhhh SURPRISE hey we're live go buy some! If you wanted to plan ahead, sorry go fuck yourself π€·ββοΈ
Does anyone have Matt's phone number? We forgot to ask him how to get into card shops before he left. Or does anyone else know? This whole card industry thing is confusing, and we're too busy disrupting it to figure out the little things.
Hey guys, new head of PLLC here. We had to let the last guy go for giving you bad info. There are no case guarantees, check the site, idk why he said this. We definitely did NOT change it after having to refund people and send makeup cards. It totally always said no cases!
I know our website says we guarantee a catalyst in every case, but to keep things fun we just aren't mailing anyone a case, even if you order exactly one case worth of boxes. We don't want to spoil the excitement of not knowing if you get a case hit or get nothing! 50/50 odds!!
I bet you're wondering why you can't find the new cards when trying to submit to PSA. Maybe we're about to launch our own grading service πthat's how much we love disrupting! Stay tuned for more info, or more silence, 50/50 odds!!!! The anticipation is half the fun!!!
What a terrific idea! We'd have thought of it ourselves but it's t-shirt season AND throwback week so our merch bros are super busy and focused on the important stuff. But I promise we'll do some fun card promotions within the next 3-6 business months.
The @PremierLacrosse was kind enough to send me this uncut sheet of the full 100 card base set from the brand new Fieldside release. While very cool, Iβd rather see it go to another lacrosse fan/lacrosse card collector, so Iβm giving it away here!
One entry per person and all you have to do is:
1) Like AND repost or quote this post
2) Comment on this post with your guess for the cumulative total number of goals scored in all 4 PLL games this coming weekend in Chicago
Iβll cover shipping and if multiple people guess the total goal count correctly, Iβll use a randomizer to determine the winner.
Also make sure you are following me so that I can DM the winner on Sunday.
GOOD LUCK!

We agree! The best way to be a true disruptor is to continue doing the same confusing things other card companies do, while simultaneously NOT doing the things they do that keep collectors informed and excited for releases. 'Keep em guessing' is the PLL Collectibles motto!
@WhipsnakeNation@PremierLacrosse Topps and Panini put the RC logo on everything (even if it was released in the next calendar year), so I don't blame the PLL for following suit.
We've added pack odds to the info site! We always listen to fan feedback! Maybe next year we'll remember that you've asked for pack odds on every single release and have them posted the first time. We'll leave a note on the Collectibles desk for whoever is in charge next time.
@bradledwith@MichaelRabil@asinnenberg I'd be HAPPY to answer this for you! The odds are always 50/50; you either pull a parallel or you don't. I love those odds and we know our fans will too!!!! Truth is though, every single card is a winner in this big beautiful set, so don't sweat it and just keep clicking BUY!
