Regal Trading Cards Signing Information

[Brendan_B]

Is this why the cards featured sketches as opposed to actual images from games? I would imagine any images from games are owned elsewhere and thus would bring licensing issues. For a sketch just the players consent would be fine I would imagine.

I think that a signature card numbered to 25 for $250 is a bargain sure it's not licensed but it's not a current player either so doesn't need to be licensed, it's the lowest numbered nrl signature card produced I bought the 2 cards as I think it's good value for money

Yes thats right mate

The sketch would belong to either them or someone they know,maybe a 14 year old, so for instance, if i buy an original photo, say of Satts, then i can use that how i want, such as, making a card, get it reproduced at however many i want, get them signed. Hey presto, i have a product that i can sell at whatever price i want. As you would notice, there is no reference as to whom produced the actual sketch.

So how come they are $250 for a home made card apart from them being signed by those players ?

I'm a bit confused.

One thing we just want to clarify is that these aren't home made cards. Far from it.

Just like most other card producers, these were printed, foiled and cut at a print production facility here in Australia.

While we may be biased, we think that print quality of these cards is outstanding.

We hope that the lucky collectors that have these cards turn up on Monday agree with us.

Regal Trading Cards - For the Collector.

That's correct so I will rephrase these are the lowest single signature card produced unless there is something else I don't know about

There was no due reference made about you guys, i was just simplyfing the facts as to how you can make such a product without any licence. I enjoy what you guys have done and i admire your concept and business nous.

So may i ask, who is the sketch artist as it does not appear on the cards, nor is there any due reference to the artist.

Ok maybe home made is the wrong terminology and yes they do look great.

Wasn't trying to have a go as like i said i was a bit confused but am now getting a better idea with other members comments.

I don't think they need to disclose their artists. From a business perspective, why would they make public something that gives them a clear advantage in the marketplace.

I mean, the colonel never told the world what the secret herbs and spices were in his chicken and look where that got him.

From a business perspective, you would afford the artist a credit. Hmmmmm

Any person that works or produces KFC knows what the ingredients are? Rather stupid analogy!

 

[nichj99]

Not necessarily. Who's to say that the artist isn't hired or paid as an employee there for any works done are owned by regal to begin with? (See Panini's court kings product. No photos, all sketches and images with no artists credited because of this... Hmmmm!) Or, who's to say that the rights to the image weren't handed over as part of copyright agreements.

There are many things that aren't being considered in your assumptions.

 

[Carter]

And the great Colonel Sanders is the only 1 that creates the spices here and now? Sorry to disappoint you but he left this planet many years ago!
Most 'sketch' cards have a sig for a reason!

I am not assuming anything, it was a simple question? Hopefully to be answered simpley!

Sorry, I didn't see you'd edited the post to add the colonel sanders part - please forgive me for not responding sooner.

i honestly don't even understand what your getting at with this comment.

But then again, I'm only a photographer & graphic artist who has my own business. What on earth would I know about reproducing images and the copyrights that are attached to them.

Simply buying a stock image doesn't give you right to do with it what you will, ESPECIALLY if you're talking about reproducing said image for commercial purposes.

The sketch would belong to either them or someone they know,maybe a 14 year old

Once i saw the 'sketch' card, that threw me off immediately as many people, even my 14 year old could have sketched such a drawing

Why do you keep making this comment.

On one hand you praise the card for the way it looks, but on the other you seem to keep making this dig.

Or you know some talented 14 year olds.

Or you're skirting around the fact your know a 14 year old has done these sketches and seemingly affects the quality of the card.

 

[batboy]

Yes thats right mate

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about... If I buy the Mona Lisa, that doesn't give me the right to photo copy it and sell a million of them....

Has nothing to do with ESP, using playing images brings more fees- pay for the image, sponsor clearance etc, etc...
Another reason they'd be sketching them is there would be no decent images from back in the day, and again... They pay the artist a one off fee and they're done!!
I'm wondering why apcs hasn't blown up yet - they're basically exactly the same thing except the apcs cards look like they've been done at play group with a few kids and crayons.

They are all one of the same. They have been making cards for years now. He has just gone out on his own.

 

[the game rugby league]

The lowest signature card produced to my knowledge is the octagon from APCS.
