this should be fun...

 

[All In Cards]

trying to become an authorized buyer of UD, right now cant buy it at all. Same with Atl and others.

 

[phillyfan0417]

UD knows how to make high end sets and hopefully thats what they try to do. Logo's are important but NT proves you can still make a heck of a set without them if you are creative...

 

[DaClyde]

One has to wonder if anything has actually changed in management, or if we should be counting down the days until UD abuses this new license and just issues another set like in 2010.

Does this mean that we will see all of the 2010 exquisite cards released that are in the back room?

Seems like now is a great time to put that college degree in airbrushing to good use.

Wait a minute...I thought MLB gave Topps an exclusive right...

The MLB license give rights to the logos. MLBPA license give rights to picture the players. This is the same type of license that Panini has.

Can't wait until UD forgets to pay their athletes again and they only have scrub autos in their sets. I am wondering how many agents will tell their clients not to do a deal with UD because of their history.

 

[cgilmo]

This really does not give them the ability to do anything they couldn't do before. All this does is makes it easier. They don't have to go get individual deals.

 

[uniquebaseballcards]

Good for them. I still don't trust them though, I expect them to do something... like forget to turn off the presses. Panini is better.

 

[MGiuseffi]

Now if UD would only scrap the current distribution model. With no shops locallly and only a few online retailers offering UD product I have stopped ripping UD cases.

 

[MansGame]

Very interesting. Would love to see them do a set like Panini NT.

[nappyd]

Ok but can I send in my expired redemptions?

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Freedom Card Board mobile app

More choice is always better. I wish they had MLB licencing, but I'll buy UD and Panini just to buy baseball cards again.

So sick of seeing big leaguers looking like little leaguers. MLB giving Topps exclusivity thru 2020 makes me sad, and pushes me away from buying any new wax. Vintage will receive the bulk of my hobby dollars. Logos make all the difference to me.
