Looks like he is making them resemble PMG's aswell.

I've seen these on eBay for other players he's done too. All very small print runs.

Their Miesha Tate cards started popping up in my saved searches in April. Surprised nothing has been done about them, given how litigious the UFC is.

And tbh they're pretty terrible. Bland front, Powerpoint looking back, and rough etching job on the photos.

I emailed them last month asking what the deal is.

They said theyre a new card company.

I said wheres there shop etc?

They said they only sell on eBay.

I asked 'How much did you pay for the rights to use these Exum photos on your cards because I know the photographer who took a few of the pics your using?'

I never heard back...

Thats true by the way, I do know the photographer and he is talking to a lawyer about them using his intellictual property.

I really don't like this sort of stuff. I can appreciate fan made customs when they are done well, but trying to sell them is a real gray area imo.

Funny thing is they arent even done nicely!! SO lame!!! If you're gonna make a prodct... wouldnt you want it to be appealing??

the font is boring... and design is basic!! Man I may as well start making cards!! haha!!
