Hey Phil!
Happy to clarify some information here regarding the elite card process. Back when we had the metal cards that was the case, but since that manufacturer closed we transitioned to a new type of card that would make it so we could be printing new cards monthly no matter how big the number (and they look even better!). We were getting ready to start printing the newest batch in the spring and then COVID hit and threw in a wrench in everything we had planned. Needless to say, this year has certainly not been kind in regards to getting elite cards out due to several delays initiated by COVID. The cards are printed, but each one gets a laser etched name on it, and the laser etcher is booked out several weeks until the new year. We will get there as soon as possible! As soon as I receive the cards in hand all 300+ elite member packages (including yours!) will be hand assembled with extra goodies and shipped out by me after the new year. We are trying our best to get these done sooner than the new year, though.
This is the first time a delay of this magnitude has taken place for the elite cards, and after this batch we should be caught up and ready for the next batch. We sincerely apologize for the long wait!
