32. collectible cards.

Everything is set to start selling the collectible card sets from the collaboration with Nike. The cards feature a shiny red paper with the Slam Dunk logo, the official NBA symbol, and the Nike trademark, all in their distinctive design.

Peter Ruppe took a look at a notebook containing the 140 collectible cards in this batch. Each pack had five collectible cards, featuring three types of cards. The common cards showcased comic characters, player abilities such as passing, dunking, shooting, and logos of sponsored teams.

The silver cards included professional players with elegant photographs and a silver frame, all in a realistic animated design. The third type of card was the special shiny one featuring the sports superstars, including the protagonist, Will/Sakuragi, and his ultimate rival, Rukawa. Magic, Michael Jordan, and Charles Barkley were also featured.

The cards would be sold in Nike stores, comic book shops, Walmart retail chains, and selected convenience stores across cities. For commercial card sales, smaller stores located near homes, schools, and specific sites where traffic is heavy can be very helpful. Small shopping centers and businesses that attract children, mothers, teenagers, and workers to do their weekly or future weeks shopping.

Peter Ruppe has put his heart and soul into positioning the brand in the market. He has established partnerships with key players in the industry, basketball and American football teams, top tennis athletes, and campaigns with other sports personalities. These campaigns have boosted Nike's dominance in the North American industry. The clashes between the financing team and the research and fashion team have caused numerous collateral effects.

-If the campaign was launched this morning at 7:00 AM, all established retail points have been stocked. There are a few initial considerations, but they make sense. Having the cards available in Walmart stores is a wonderful idea since they are wholesalers. And the retail points are interesting, - they told Peter Ruppe, who was sitting in an office wearing his tight black suit and a thick tie, choking his neck.

-Well, call the Lux Comics office and ask the administrator to provide us with the sales figures for comic bookstores, small street shops, and Walmart. Also, speak with the accounting and logistics teams about the data from the launch date until December 26th and whether the card campaign is worthwhile. Notify sales of the sales numbers, and if we run out of stock, we can initiate production based on the sales curve statistically, - Peter instructed the sales team.

- Hello, Arthur, I need you. I want the advertising team to create a special promotion for the purchase of our products. Something with a substantial value, like a gift package worth a hundred or two hundred dollars, - Peter said to the advertising team. - We'll do our best, - they replied.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

- Great. Call the management team. I want them to closely monitor all official administrators at Nike stores during Black Friday and provide detailed reports. We've dedicated ourselves to a massive production campaign for this occasion, and I don't care about overtime. I want everything to align perfectly. I'll be in a meeting with the board of directors all afternoon. I expect confirmation on all sales areas by the time it ends, - Peter mentioned.

He pressed the red button on the side. - Michelle, I need you to coordinate with the channels regarding the new Nike commercial. We've invested a substantial amount, and I expect everything to be in place, - Mike said.

-Understood, - Michelle replied. She had been working as a secretary for top executives for fourteen years and maintained a mature order regarding her boss's preferred character. Oh, don't get her wrong; she had a degree in business administration from a public university. But she understood the difficulty of finding a job in her field.

-Oh, and send congratulations to Anne, the new administrator of Lux Comics, - Peter said as he adjusted his tie.

-Yes, sir, - Peter headed to his meeting after numerous calls. He grabbed a packed lunch, a juice box, and a small Coke. Everything was prepared by his lovely wife, who enjoyed a good life thanks to his hard work. She woke up every morning and prepared a delicious meal, waited for her husband to get up, made him a strong black coffee, and two toasts, and picked up the newspaper from the doorstep. She said goodbye to her husband and took a seat by the window, reading a book for two hours. She tidied up the house and went for a stroll to the shops.

Other times, she did the laundry and ironed her husband's shirts. She went around the corner and had a cup of tea with her neighbors, a result of the friendship of a lonely housewife. They chatted about her latest reading, the new soap opera, and some neighborhood gossip... the life of his beautiful wife.

- Good morning, Miss. This is Michelle, assistant to Mr. Peter Ruppe from the Marketing department. -

-Good morning. This is Anne from the Lux Comics administration. How may I assist you? - Anne said.

-Nothing urgent. I'm sending greetings from the regional director of the Nike brand for California regarding our new collaboration card release, - Michelle said.

Ah, it's a pleasure. Thank you, and likewise, we'll be attentive to the budget reports, - Anne replied over the phone.

Anne was wearing a short black skirt. It was Friday, and she had a date. It had been a long time since she went out with someone, but she was excited. She hung up the phone and checked that all the orders had been dispatched. She walked down the hallway and saw her little boss engrossed in drawing, as usual. It was a challenging job. Comic companies usually have a team of four or five people per issue, but the little genius handled the entire production process by himself.

But the child took care of the entire process on his own, from design, structure, dialogue, and polishing, to anchoring for printing. The work of six people. Among all the relevant issues in a comic company, continuity between the group of six people responsible for sending the product to production is a significant challenge.

Delays and setbacks were part of daily life, but the little genius knew all the production secrets and was a well-oiled machine. Now, issue 32 of the "Slam Dunk" and "Ghost Informer/Yu Yu Hakusho" series was being released, and next week, the winter season would begin, with all the production already dispatched. From "The Lion King" book to the Pinky and the Brain series, the Samurai Jack series, Rugrats, and the new extras of Hellboy.

The Rugrats series had a total of nine seasons and thirteen episodes in its first season.
