What they have to pay the player for his image rights, to make a card most collectors would have no interest in, makes no economic sense.

This is interesting -- thanks as always, Merkle.
One Q, though: I'd assumed Topps could make a card of anybody they signed back in the day based on that contract. Since that's not the case, what's the reality of what they need for image rights etc.?
I've dreamt for years of team-specific ultimate sets that would have a card for everybody. Guess I need to let that one go.
