Inkworks Dominates "Gummies" Again
Inkworks Wins Awards in All Categories for Second Straight Year
RALEIGH,
NC, January, 2004 -- The February-March 2004 issue of Non-Sport Update,
a leading publication for entertainment trading cards, announced that
Inkworks was awarded first or second place in all seven categories for
the second year in a row in their Collectors’ Choice Awards – The
Gummies. The four
first place awards captured by Inkworks included top honors for
“Best Set” for Buffy
the Vampire Slayer: Connections.
In addition, Inkworks completely swept first, second and third
place awards in two categories: “Best
Packaging” and “Best Album.”
The Gummie awards, voted on by readers of Non-Sport Update
magazine, are considered to be one of the most prestigious in the
entertainment trading card industry.
“For two straight years, collectors have awarded us Gummies in every category offered by Non-Sport Update, “ said Allan Caplan, president of Inkworks. “All of us at Inkworks work every day to provide trading card collectors with superior customer service and premium quality products in everything we create. We also do all we can to continue to build the trading card category by reaching out to new collectors at major trade and consumer shows in the United States and overseas as well as by licensing properties that we expect to appeal to a new generation of collectors and to potential collectors who haven’t discovered the fun and excitement that can be found in our hobby.”
In
the last two years Inkworks has won more first place Gummies and more
total Gummies than all other trading card manufacturers combined.
“It
is a tremendous honor to receive all of these awards from collectors of
our products,” said Caplan. “We
consider it our responsibility as the leader in this industry to produce
creative, premium quality collectibles at a good value in every item
that carries the names of Inkworks and our licensed properties.
As proud as we are of the awards we have won in the past, we are
focused on an even brighter future with even more innovative and
creative products from the top entertainment properties in the world
including Andromeda:
Reign of the Commonwealth, Scooby-Doo
2: Monsters Unleashed, Hellboy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and many
others.”
