FAQ - Card Issues/Replacements

Upon investigation following customer feedback, it was found that a small portion of the specific cards listed below have a significant foiling alignment issue due to the double foiling process required for this Series. This issue did not appear during our QC process and is due to the variable pressure applied by the foil press when double foiling during mass production. When too much pressure is applied then too much foil is pressed into the card leading to foil expanding beyond the designated area.

 

Due to the significance of these cards, Select has made the decision to re-print the cards listed below. Holders** of the card(s) have the option to swap the original card(s) for new re-printed versions of the card(s) (expected to be available October, 2023).

 

To swap your card(s) (only from the list below) you must send it/them by registered mail to Select GEM Replacement, PO Box 82, Terrey Hills, NSW, 2084. Please include a CLEAR note inside the envelope with your full name, and the email address used on your Select Australia web site account. When the new cards are ready, we will mail the replacement card(s) (of the same number Sapphire /70, Emerald /55, Ruby /40 as the card(s) sent to us) to the address stored in your account.

 

The original card(s) will be destroyed. Please make sure your shipping address is current in your account (and on the back of the package/envelope sent to us).It is NOT possible to have both the original card and the new replacement card.

 

Holders of the card(s) have at their own discretion the choice to decide whether to swap cards, until TBA. ** You do not need to be the original owner of the card(s) to exercise this option. Anyone that holds the original card(s) has the option to swap for the new card, until the cut off date.
