First off, as Kuip would say - why would you wanna? With that mustache?
;-)

Secondly, this is the area in which Topps is the most draconian. If you read the fine print in the eBay pages it says Topps retains all rights to reproduction and you get none. I'm not saying it's fair and I'm not saying you couldn't beat it with a few lawyers and tens of thousands of dollars, but I do know that they've enforced this with as influential an outfit as the Baseball Hall of Fame Library.

So, they claim they're selling you a collectible. That's why they put it in a plastic slab - to make the legal claim that it's no longer an image or a negative.
