Your work isn't copyright, you have nothing sorry. But cool designs deserve a thumbs up

Dude, you did such a nice job I don't know weather to feel bad for you, or laugh at this sellers opportunistic vision and the amount of money they're selling for. All in all I'm just shaking my head.
I think your best route might be to contact the NFL licensing dept. for starters. It wouldn't surprise me if they have a hotline...
As for intellectual property, I'm sorry to say you're probably out of luck. Unless Photobucket changed their TOS, once something is posted there, they own it. Just like how Beckett now owns this blabbering of mine.
Or maybe he will just respect your wish not to resell it. You never know... Good Luck.

He admitted to making cards in this thread of Sensei...

I personally, based on principle, would ask him for all the money from the auctions finished thus far...They shouldnt have been sold regardless due to the copyright issues with Panini, however since they were, you should get what was made...

Sorry, but no one can own your intellectual property unless you give them permission. Posting your cards on photobucket doesn't make it permissible for you to post them as your own and profit off of them.
Rogue came up with these designs, it's HIS intellectual property. Period.

Also not made not for distribution so i dont see a way in which i could be in trouble for it. but i do understand what youre saying
You wouldn't get in trouble for this IMO. You designed the card for personal use and never intended on it being sold. Keep us updated as to what happens. Oh and apply for a job at Panini! Your designs are sick! Better than theirs I think

You do realize that this guy can and will be in HUGE trouble. He is selling an unlicensed product using official NFL logos, which is copyright infringement.

I would report him to ebay, the NFL and anyone within the sound of your voice
If anything, you will need to protect yourself. If the NFL does go after this guy, what's to say he wouldn't claim that you made that just for him? Of course, if that be the case, you have at least a hundred character witnesses on here to the contrary, including me.
Simply put, he is a female hygenic product

That was my point. He gave permission when he signed up at Photobucket. His designs, yes. But he no longer owns them. Sorry bud.

Actually, you're incorrect...but I'm tired of arguing about it with people who don't understand.
It's crap like this that makes me want to leave this site... when the lawyer in this thread says it's a violation, guess what it is???? A f'ing VIOLATION! I'm always going to listen to him rather than some asshat off the street.

Ouch. I guess I'm late to the party. I didn't realize I missed an argument. I guess I should read the whole thread before I post...
