Between, I think from 1976 to 1988, Fleer owned the license to NFL Logo so you had Fleer NFL action cards with no mention of the players on the card. In 1992, players such as Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Lawrence Taylor, Deion Sanders and Brett Farve somehow opted out of the players associations agreement with the card company. If you recall, these players did not appear in Upper Deck, Fleer and Topps brands (They later appeared in update sets for UD and Topps as some sore of agreement was worked out with them).<br /><br />It is possible that Topps could strike a deal with NFL properties and acquire the rights to the logo's and then individually sign top players and rookies. Could you imagine 2010 UD and Panini football cards without Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Tim Tebow in their sets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762290031812281192.post-22123344522756189872009-11-09T21:17:51.586-06:002009-11-09T21:17:51.586-06:00Sigh, I really hate the licensing wars . . . in bo...Sigh, I really hate the licensing wars . . . in both sports video games and card collecting.
