根据报导，MLB官方和MLB球员工会将和Fanatics签下球员卡合约
从2023年开始发售MLB球员卡
这也代表MLB和Topps长年的合作关系在这几年即将画下句点
MLB球员工会理事长Tony Clark送给球员的备忘录中提到
和Fanatics的合约比工会同意过的任何合约都大十倍
并表示加上其他合约，将在2045年前产生20亿美金的收入
According to the memo, Fanatics' deal with MLB and the MLBPA is more than 10 tim
es larger than any the union has ever agreed to. The memo also states that the d
eal, when combined with other recent deals, is expected to generate roughly $2 b
illion by 2045.
注:去年Topps支付给球员工会2040万美金
然后ESPN这篇有提到
The distinction between rights with a players' union and/or a league are notable
. For example, Panini, which has an MLBPA license but no MLB license, produces b
aseball cards but isn't allowed to show MLB team logos. Topps, which has deals w
ith MLB and MLBPA, currently produces baseball cards with players' images and ML
B team logos.
球员卡授权，联盟和球员工会看来是分开签的(?
前者是给球队LOGO、后者是给球员肖像权
而目前球员工会和Topps的合约到2022
According to a memo from the MLBPA obtained by ESPN, a Fanatics-founded company
that has yet to be named will be the exclusive licensee "in the baseball card ca
tegory" after Panini's and Topps' licenses with the MLBPA expire at the end of 2
022.
但联盟和Topps的合约是到2025
MLB's deal with Topps was extended in 2018 and runs through 2025.
那我蛮好奇2023-2025 Topps能发啥XDD
这样看只剩球队LOGO欸（？
