I just got this in from ITG about their Between the Pipes set:
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.

This sounds really good to me! The link shows all the autogamers and that is some list.
It’s no wonder they don’t get enough support. They don’t have enough distribution in local areas, and do not have an easy way to aquire their cards. It’s a shame because they product magnificent cards for hockey fans. I’m sure there are places to buy them that I don’t know about, but I;m your average Joe, who would spend money on these cards. If I can’t find them easily, I’m sure there is the same problem within a larger population
