I lean towards "prominent on front" and not copyright line. Otherwise we end up with "1970 Xograph Kellogg's", "1975 Marden-Kane and Rosenfeld, Sirowitz, & Lawson McDonald's Quaterbacks". And if we allow copyright line to influence set names we would HAVE to change to "Fleer Ultra", "Topps Stadium Club", "Upper Deck SP", "Panini Donruss", "Panini Leaf".

Then you have these, 1992-93 Upper Deck McDonald's or 1991-92 Fleer Tony's Pizza. Neither has the names (or logos) McDonald's or Tony's Pizza printed anywhere on the card.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

I agree with you C2. The only ones that may continue to cause confusion are those that use the backs of the card company from that year. I think this is mostly some Topps printed sets and a minority at that.

I will entertain trades but please don't offer me a 1993 Dave Stieb for a Nolan Ryan rookie. I prefer player for player (at least similar era and similar stardom).

You mean Upper Deck Fleer/Skybox Fleer Ultra, right? (Just kidding, please don't answer that!) ranfordfan wrote: C2C, hammer meets nail !!

Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
