MLB Properties sues Donruss Playoff over trademark use

[ThoseBackPages]

Then FOE me, not difficult.

I used to like reading your posts back on Beckett, but since you've come over here 99% on your posts have been anti-unlicensed cards. You've become a broken record and I have been considering adding you to my foe list already since you rarely say anything interesting anymore.

Comes with the times i suppose. If there were other things to talk about, then they'd be talked about.
Not everyone drinks the "kool aid" of whats popular, most seem to though.

Are you sure you're personal involvement with unlicensed cards isnt clouding your vision?

but to carry it over to photo of players.... like I asked, how is it different for photos the paparazzi take and the rag mags use?

It is different. Photos used on cards are a commercial product while paparazzi photos are used as "editorial" which does not require the consent of the person being photographed. Anyways, like I said before, MiLB players are not a part of the MLBPA, therefore they have not signed away their likeness to the MLBPA and are free to sign individual contracts with the other card companies.

Chris, it isn't MLBPA...it's Major League Baseball Properties that apparently encompasses MLB and MiLB teams and players...at least that is what the suit is implying.

DOWN WITH DONRUSS!!!

HAHA.... down with people who are brainwashed into buying graded prospect cards!

:lol:

I like Donruss. All of my favorite sets of all time were made by them. Prime Cuts, Leaf Limited, Leaf Certified, Prime Patches...

Sure, they made crappy sets like Sportscasters and Exhibits, but the beautiful thing is- you didn't have to buy them! They were there just in case you wanted to though.


YOU have no use for unlicensed cards, but why do you wish people who like them can't have them anymore?

Are you guys seriously fighting over licensed, unlicensed, graded, ungraded... ??? Am I seeing this right?

All of you go to your damn rooms.

This has the possibility of affecty you negatively though man... I mean you are a pro aren't you?

Potentially. The area that will effect me is if MLB is able to convince a judge that they control the likeness of their MiLB players. I think they are overstepping their bounds in this regard and don't see it happening.

Yeah, I muddled it a bit in my response. I still think they are overstepping their bounds and do not have the rights to control the likeness of their MiLB players and are just using that language as either a bullying tactic or better yet knowing MLBP it is a rights grab that they hope to take to court and win.

by leaps and bounds.
Honestly, I'm really thinking about not buying a new product from the big two again. Like I said, they keep putting out 99% junk. The one percent of good stuff is too expensive for most people, for me anyway...and it's still the same old same old.

It's just getting to be a bunch of B.S. and it's effing with collectors attitudes or happiness, you choose.

Nothing against you specifically...just tired of rookie card/prospect collectors dissing everything that's not a prospect card..unlicensed or not.

So Rickey likes Kool-Aid? Man, I have no idea what Mattingly likes to drink. :| I'm a bad fan. Did I congratulate you on your man getting in the hall? I know it was all your doing.

If not ...congrats.
