The story was first published by the New York Times here:
That means there WILL be Topps cards in 2010!!!
I was actually thinking about it this morning: What would I do if there it was announced that MLB Propertis was denying a license to Topps or MLB Properties in 2010??? Would I still collect new baseball cards? Would I bite the bullet and buy...gasp...Upper Deck cards? Would I have to change the name of my blog???
Now I know I won't have to worry about that. While the official announcement won't come out until tomorrow, it looks like Topps would be the only...ONLY...company licensed to create cards with team logos, trademarks, and all the things that come with it.
As a Topps fan and collector...
I LOVE THIS!!!
But wait...
What does that mean now for Upper Deck??? I mean, they were granted a license earlier by the MLB Players Association first.
Stay tuned.
Sincerely,
