ESPN is now reporting that the lawsuit is official, even though there has not been any returned calls from UD’s reps. By releasing Ultimate Collection with logos, as well as Signature Stars and UD Base Series One, they were pretty much asking for a Sub Zero freeze ball upper cut with spine rip. Yes, this could spell disaster unless they have found a way to circumvent the license agreement.
It does state VERY clearly on every card and box that MLB does not license the product, and there are no team names or logos on the card borders or back side. This could be the saving grace of this suit, as other sets have toyed with this idea and squeaked through the defense.
Who knows, this may be the finishing blow that we all knew was coming.
