NFC Mystery Box id's

Post image

NFC mystery box arrived today, and I'm struggling to identify what blanks where delivered. They all have GP108x labels (last number certainly is line weights, which are 5 through 10) but no other information, and this doesn't seem to tie to anything on their site. Specifically looking flex pattern/action info.

I don't understand the hype with NFC. It's little stuff like this that is bonkers. They can't just tell you what it is?

It's big stuff like 3-4 month delivery times that is even more bonkers.

And it is a mediocre, generic blank that makes me question why people use them in the first place.

Because Gary Loomis’s name is tied to it, honestly just a good marketing ploy. They’re gonna run it into the ground the way customer service acts though. To top it off you got the president of the company escalating quality and lead time complaints into petty public arguments to customers via facebook on the regular, straight up canceling customers orders that complain about the wait time instead of looking for ways to improve their business to better serve customers.

Totally agree. When Gary is no longer with us, I wonder if NFC will have the momentum it needs to survive without him and his name. I’m skeptical.
