Okay, one of the members of the Beckett Message Boards is claiming that Topps has announced that Babe Ruth was the "one more player" that they were trying to sign an exclusive contract with CMG. You remember, it was the big deal where Topps signed the estates of 16 players away from Upper Deck. And then Topps sued UD for putting out cards with six of the guys.
Then the guy over at Sportscards Uncensored is saying the same thing.
Now I've been looking all over the wires, and I have yet to see this news come up yet.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE A SOURCE THAT CAN CONFIRM THIS??? I'm only asking because if that's the case, then Topps pretty much has the market for legendary players to themselves. Now if the MLBPA could allow them to create one retired set, akin to the All-Time Fan Favorites or Topps Retired Signature sets...
Sincerely,
