On a brighter note, welcome back!; November 26, 2007 4:25 PM

I mean, if they were getting cuts of the sales, maybe, but once some doofus sells and re-sells it, the "profit" the card companies se is long gone....; November 26, 2007 10:38 PM

ex Rod. I think the cards with the team logos would all be teams that would have had the money to sign him; December 08, 2007 4:09 PM
