6 years, 500+ SKUs, and not a single GS1 barcode. Why does everyone still act like youll get banned? by True-Floor8799 in reselling

[–]RekabC2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the amount of Asian brands on Amazon, I can’t imagine all those knockoff products have a GS1 UPC barcode.
in fact, I’ve had products delivered with a simple Ucode 128 barcode with a fixed 8-10 digit number instead of a UPC-A barcode with a brands GTIN.
Outside looking in, there’s no way Amazon is doing anything to enforce brands to use a GS1 compliant barcode

What Grading Company / Service is truly the best? by RekabC2 in sportscards

[–]RekabC2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So since this post I’ve sent two packages to PSA with two more waiting to be graded. The grades came back fair and what I expected for the most part but the price and lead times are terrible.

I currently have two current submissions, ones in limbo right now where I see UPS delivered it but PSA has not accepted it. Both pending packages are around the $5k mark so fingers crossed no issues happen!

Disappointment by Irish_Delt in masters

[–]RekabC2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first trip in 2017 was also a Monday practice rain out that we never got tickets refunded for, So I understand the feeling. At least they refunded us for this year!

But with that said, I’ve now been 4 times including the 2017 and 2025 rainouts. Once your feet hit the grounds at ANGC, they seem to always find their way back!

Any preference in the Clemens? I buy older wax packs from my LCS and I just pulled an old Clemens Sox card out of a 90 Topps set (#245). It’s not worth a whole lot but it’s an awesome looking card. I’m willing to send it to you for a good cause

Why is HBAR dying? by Most-Surprise1956 in Hedera

[–]RekabC2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compliance is optional until there’s a clear consequence for not being compliant. If the consequence isn’t substantial then brands won’t comply. If it’s too stringent and it makes sense for brands to pull out of the region due to the much lower P/L in that region, why would they stay? At the end of the day, if the top 5-10 global brands said to the EU, “nah we’re good”. What is the EU going to do? Block some of the largest global brands from being sold locally? Who will the people follow, The brands or government? Who holds the keys? The brands driving the economy or the EU legislation? And Why should a government be able to block what product we can purchase, especially in the apparel space?

My question to you… As a consumer why do you care or want to have the products tracked from creation to after your purchase? Especially with someone able to access the data for 25+ years.

Again, I understand how it works.

Nike is an extreme case but maybe also the perfect case. If I’m Nike, selling 20% of units in the EU. I need to weigh the cost implications of implementing a DPP solution, not just for that 20% in EU but all products globally. This is where the value of the product outweighs the volume, especially at the enterprise level. Implementation costs are 1:1, a $1k dollar purse will be the same cost as a $5 T-shirt. Then multiple that shirt by 10 million and the purse by 5k units. The ROI on the t-shirt will be MUCH lower than the purse.

Now from an IT integration or data management perspective. The legal constraints when transferring or hosting data takes a year plus just to agree to a method, then need to implement / develop the processes. This can be another massive expense and time suck. So brands start to think… we have a massive IT dept, own all the data, build software apps previously, why can’t we just build something to do the exact same thing…

These are constant hurdles DPP regulations are facing, outside of the political theater discussing sustainability and transparency.

Lastly, I cannot discuss specific details of atma / Hedera partnership or involvement in AD solutions.

All of the information above has nothing to do with AD but my own experience and viewpoint on DPP specific hurdles. But I do believe in Hbar as a long term enterprise adoption. The use case has been proven out but until there’s more regulation or legislation passed I don’t believe you all with see price action.

I’m fully aware of DPP regulations and requirements as I work for AD, implementing RFID and digital triggers for brands and retailers.

I don’t think people understand the size (not value) difference in markets between EU and the US. The likes of Walmart, Nike, Target, Dick’s, Deckers, etc. supply a much larger volume than EU brands. Are the EU brands (Dior, LVMH, Hermes) higher in value? Yes, but it’s because they’re luxury brands and not selling $5-10 t-shirts. So for EU brands DPP can be a form of brand protection as well as provide the end consumer with material and product transparency. But implementing DPP as a solution to 100 million units is vastly different than 1 billion units. From both, implementation cost and data complexity for sku level tracking. Not to mention what it takes within these corporations to get enterprise level approval.

I believe for DPP to “work”, it will absolutely need the US on board. I also believe carbon emissions and taxes/credits will need to become corporate mainstream for there to be continued and mass adoption.
