Restricted uses
- Mass-producing card replicas (counterfeit risk)
- Selling unauthorized merchandise with card imagery (player likeness IP)
- Using league logos in commercial branding
- Modifying cards for sale (e.g., custom art on top)
- Using card images in unauthorized advertising
Player and league rights
- MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL: league licensing for branded content
