[gomaz]

This is going to be a very informative and interesting episode.

Paul follows all of the hobby's legal action within the USA's Federal Court system. We will be covering all of the recent and ongoing cases.

 

[Triple B]

This will be an interesting one for sure.

You should ask him to answer a question or two regarding the legality of those "reprint" and "custom" cards that have been popping up online. I know there was an Ovechkin custom one yesterday that a lot of people were concerned about on here.

Definition of "counterfeit": made in exact imitation of something valuable or important with the intention to deceive or defraud.

This particular card doesn't get caught by any part of this definition, i.e., it is not an exact imitation of any card that ever existed (this card did not have a 1/1 parallel), and there is no intention to deceive or defraud (the first word in the listing is "custom").

I'll stick with my applause for a very nice creation as I am not applauding a counterfeiter. Rather I am applauding an artist who took inspiration from an original UD design.

I'm also not concerned about this piece having any effect on UD or the NHL's business or revenues or reputation.

I'll add that there is a new fad in the hobby of artists taking original cards and painting on them and selling them as 1/1 artistic creations. Something else I have zero issue with and applaud the artists for their innovation and skills. But I'm sure some people on here will be offended by them. That's just the world we live in now, everything offends somebody.

I'll be eating crow on the show tomorrow for the bolded comments above. I'll leave it at that for tonight but tomorrow's show is going to be very informative regarding the current legal action landscape of the hobby. And we will learn the legal implications of the card that inspired this thread and the cause of my meal of crow. :devil:

Jeremy has already mentioned this in the Seriously?? thread.

What “reprints” specifically are you wanting me to ask him about? Already have the “custom” one covered, as per the Ovie thread.

My bad, I hadn't taken a look at that thread since it first popped up.

The reprints in the sense of Young Guns, and Future Watch auto reproductions (some of which have existing serial #s on them), and of course, those Young Guns "fridge magnets" that were all the rage in the repro-community for a while.

I wish I was younger and could stay up that late to listen Jeremy and Paul.

Paul is extremely knowledgeable about trading cards and intellectual property so he certainly will have a lot to offer.

Maybe if I take a nap now I could stay up a little later and watch the show.

This should be a fun one.

Lots of good information to be had.

 

[gomaz]

Starting soon guys...

 

[Cardboardkid]

I’m excited for this!!! .... will there be nudity...???

 

[bprice]

Notwithstanding the lack of nudity I thought last night's broadcast was exceptional. Paul is a collector and knowledgeable lawyer the perfect combination to give collectors great information about the legal side of the hobby. Thanks Jeremy and Paul.

I agree that was so enjoyable to listen to. I am always in awe of lawyers and their abilities.

Very excited that he is going to be a recurring guest.

Great show guys.
