http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/17/sports/b...ll/17cards.html? Major League Baseball’s players union told agents in an e-mail message on Friday that the trading card company Upper Deck was experiencing financial difficulty and had not paid a large number of players money it owed them. The union said it was working with Upper Deck to ensure that the players would be paid. The union strongly advised players not to return to Upper Deck any autographs they had signed for the company or to enter into any new agreements with the company until the payments were made. The e-mail message was from Evan Kaplan, the union’s director for trading cards and collectibles, and was sent to all player agents. A person who received the e-mail provided a copy of it to The New York Times on the condition that the person not be identified. A spokesman for the union declined to comment. A spokesman for Upper Deck did not respond to an e-mail message. About a month ago, Upper Deck settled a lawsuit by agreeing to pay Major League Baseball Properties a “substantial” but undisclosed amount for issuing three sets of cards since last year without a license. It also agreed to pay baseball $2.4 million to settle previous debts. In the lawsuit filed in January, M.L.B. Properties accused Upper Deck of trademark infringement and asked that it be restrained from using teams’ uniforms, helmets and cap logos. Last summer, baseball chose Topps as its exclusive licensee, leaving Upper Deck without a license for the first time since 1989.

QUOTE(bigalexx @ Apr 18 2010, 01:45 AM) I heard that Upper Deck will be filing for bankruptcy on Monday Please tell me this is not true? Also, I agree with Steve, why pay for autos you cannot use for products. The MLB screwed over UD, once they did that it made virtually all the contracts with MLBPA worthless. I would think the lawyers for UD would have been smart enough to include that clause in those auto contracts with players. Then again who knows they might not have. I would think they would have to pay for the autos issued and return the unused portion to the MLBPA.

QUOTE(aceecards @ Apr 18 2010, 12:57 PM) All the trouble they are having. Losing licenses. Can't (or won't) pay athletes. Plus, I've heard rumors of an upcoming bankruptcy.

QUOTE(CardCraze @ Apr 18 2010, 08:33 PM) Everyone is so quick to bash Upper Deck, but when we face facts, this hobby can't survive without them. I never bashed them! But if you run your business like a joke the joke will be on you! You have to do everything you can to make sure you business doesn't belly flop, but that doesn't mean doing shady things! And the hobby will go on. Maybe not at as high of a level but it will go on! Some new company will come along or one of the other will make a new sister brand!
