From Bloomberg...
Topps, which was taken private in 2007, claims in a lawsuit filed today in Manhattan federal court that Upper Deck’s newest cards are using a design from Topps’ 1971, 1975 and 1977 cards.Umm, ya think?
To review: This is a 1971 Topps card.
And this is a 2009 Upper Deck "1971 OPC" card.
Seriously, who didn't see this coming?

I was only three weeks off... not bad.
Upper Deck should bring in Vanilla Ice as an expert witness. He could explain the differences, just like he at first swore there was no similarity between Ice, Ice, Baby and Queen's Under Pressure.
Just because they sue them, doesn't mean they are going to win anything. I haven't read the complaint,but it will be very interesting to read the answer.

Can't make this up.
I think Topps should issue a memorabilia card celebrating the 1989 Upper Deck release and start chopping up Ken Griffey Jr. rookie cards to embed a piece like they do with the 'bat' cards. That would be fun.

My spleen wants mediation on the spelling.
