Where in the World is Patrice Bergeron?

Where in the World is Patrice Bergeron?The other day, Tim (The Real DFG) wrote about some redemption cards he received in the mail. This prompted me to check my status for a 2010-11 SP Authentic autographed game-used patch card of Patrice Bergeron, limited to 100 copies.

I pulled the redemption card in August 2011, but did not get around to registering it until October 2011. Yesterday, I took a look at the Upper Deck website:

Under status, it reads “Athlete committed to signing soon, please be patient.”

Please…be….patient?!?!?

Seriously, Upper Deck? The set of cards came out in 2010-11. The 2011-12 season is already over, and the 2012-13 season is 3 months away…and they’re telling me to be patient?

Now, I know that Upper Deck can’t ship a card until the player signs it and sends it back. So, this begs the question, where in the world is Patrice Bergeron?

Apparently, he’s someplace where they don’t have Sharpie markers.

**Grumble**
