Card Porn for the win!

there's something hilarious about the idea of "defaming" a small piece of cardboard with cutout pieces of fabric

[I]"Plus, the plaintiffs claim they suffered a loss of reputation, shame, mortification, and injury to their respective feelings, and loss of the value of the LeBron Patch Card. They are seeking damages of at least $6 million."

just lol.

This is one of those scenarios where you root for all parties to lose.

[QUOTE]“Card Porn has been able to create a virtual racketeering ring in the collectibles industry, where sellers and professionals are terrified of earning the ire of Card Porn, which thereby allows Card Porn to control the sports card markets by choosing which cards to target as “false” and which cards to ignore.”[/QUOTE]

Sex, thugs, and slabs. The haram trifecta.

Imagine being a fly on the wall during opening statements.

Oh boy, this could be a fun one.

Will we also see eBay brought into the case (subpoena the 2005 auction details) for the buyer/seller records and confirmation of the "before" photo?

Additional recap from Paul Lesko on Twitter.

Do these clowns not realize there’s photos of the 44/99 before the patch was swapped?

I’d love to see a counter claim on this.

This is the first thing that came to my mind. Like duh, there's proof.

Paul Lesko has provided some updates on this case and it appears the plaintiff's are still unable to identify CP, although there appears to have been some communication between the two parties. Plaintiff's allegedly knows CP's attorney, so this seems like a odd extra step but the plaintiffs received the judges permission to subpoena Instagram for information on the CP account.

Like I previously posted, hope we see eBay also called into this case. With the debate mostly focused on that 2005 white jersey image, hearing from the seller/buyer of that eBay listing might clear up the discussion about the image/patch being altered.

This Lebron has produced another lawsuit, also focusing on Goldin's decision to pull the auction.

Great recap from Paul Lesko on Twitter.

[quote]"..the altered picture of this card to include a white patch is still used by some to attack the authenticity of the Lebron RPA card..."[/quote]

What a hobby this is

Ahhh the drama :coffee: lol smh :D

Thought this was an interesting note from the newest document filing.

In one of the prior updates from March of last year, there was a copy of an email from Ken Goldin that mentioned Upper Deck and Chris Carlin (UD) said their letter of support was incorrect and shouldn't be relied upon.

As usual, Paul Lesko does a great recap, if you wanted to read everything (discovery dispute) but relating to Upper Deck's opinion, this note from UD's attorney suggests either Ken was incorrect or UD has flipped yet again. Maybe the cardporn connection is swaying opinions?

Would be nice if someone could track down one of the original owners and maybe settle the swap/shop(photo) debate.

It’s crazy the the owners actually pulled one from a box recently.

Chris Carlin is known for not having his facts straight. In 2008 Tiger Woods Exquisite RPAs /10 weren't packed out. The /3 and 1/1 versions were only. The story was that the /10s got damaged so they never made it into the product, but one was sold at a show.

Here is Chris in 2009 not knowing about it, lying about it, or being confused in a spot where no confusion should take place.

I wouldn't put much stock into his knowledge of whether a random LBJ Exqusite Patch is fake or not, if he didn't know the Tiger /10s weren't in 08 Exquisite Football.

I agree with this. He is not always right with the facts for his own company.

Only one exquisite Tiger/10 was released into the product and pulled - it was the one with the inscription on it.

I know this for a fact because I’ve owned them all.

Amazing story!

"slightly rarer gold version"? I guess the author is not so good at math. :doh:

So to sum it up, the court case is all about if the white patch /44 is a true photo or if it's altered?

It’s really about if Goldin had firm enough proof to pull the card from auction and destroy its value as a result.
