APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

I. INTRODUCTION

In accordance with 37 C.F.R. §§ 2.141 and 2.142, Applicant hereby appeals to the

Trademark Trial and Appeal Board from the decision of the Trademark Examining Attorney refusing registration of the mark CHROMAFUSION, Serial. No. 87570853, in International

Class 16 for “Plastic holders in the nature of sleeves having an opaque side and translucent side

specifically adapted for holding and protecting collectible trading cards and for use in card

game competitions and tournaments,” and in International Class 28 for “Plastic protective

sleeves having an opaque side and translucent side for gaming cards and specifically adapted

for use in card game competitions and tournaments; Plastic holders in the nature of sleeves

having an opaque side and translucent side specifically adapted for holding and protecting game

cards and for use in card game competitions and tournaments” under Section 2(d) of the

Trademark Act.

The Examining Attorney continues to refuse registration of the applied-for mark on the

basis of a likelihood of confusion in view of the registered marks (1) CHROME, Registration

No. 4352791, in International Class 16 for “Trading cards,” (2) TOPPS CHROME, Registration

No. 2251239, in International Class 16 for “Trading cards,” and (3) BOWMAN CHROME,

Registration No. 2265679, in International Class 16 for “TRADING CARDS” (“Registrant’s

Marks”). Applicant respectfully disagrees and requests the Board reverse the Examining

Attorney’s determination.

A. PROCEDURAL HISTORY

Applicant, Ultra PRO International LLC, is a Delaware Corporation. On August 16,

2017, Applicant filed the present application, Serial No. 87570853, in International Classes 16

and 28 for the mark CHROMAFUSION. On November 16, 2017, the Examining Attorney

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853 issued an Office Action, with attachments, refusing registration under Section 2(d) of the

Trademark Act based on a likelihood of confusion with Registration Nos. 4352791, 2251239, and 2265679, and further providing an advisory as to a prior-filed pending application also filed by Ultra PRO, and requiring an amendment to the identification of goods. On May 16, 2017,

Applicant filed a response to the Examining Attorney’s office action addressing the Examining

Attorney’s request for an amendment to the identification of goods, and arguing that there was no likelihood of confusion with Registration Nos. 4352791, 2251239, and 2265679, because the marks are not confusingly similar or related. On June 7, 2018, the application was suspended due to the prior-filed application. On May 10, 2019, the prior-filed application was abandoned.

Thereafter, on September 4, 2019, the Examining Attorney issued a final office action, maintaining the refusal under Section 2(d) due to Registration Nos. 4352791, 2251239, and

2265679. On March 4, 2020, Applicant submitted a Request for Reconsideration of the refusal to register and filed a Notice of Appeal with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. On March

27, 2020, the Examining Attorney denied Applicant’s request for reconsideration. On May 29,

2020, Applicant submitted a Request for Remand to the Examiner, and it was remanded to the

Examiner on June 2, 2020. On June 23, 2020, Reconsideration was denied and Examiner issued a Final Office Action.

B. DESCRIPTION OF THE RECORD

The record consists of the following (chronological order):

1.) Applicant’s application, Serial No. 87570853, filed on August 16, 2017;

8.) Applicant’s Request for Remand, dated May 29, 2020.

9.) Examiner’s Final Office Action, dated June 23, 2020.

C. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE

The issue on appeal is whether the Trademark Examining Attorney erroneously

determined that there exists a likelihood of confusion (§2(d)) between Registration No. 4352791

for CHROME in International Class 16, Registration No. 2251239 for TOPPS CHROME in

International Class 16, Registration No. 2265679 for BOWMAN CHROME in International

Class 16, and Serial No. 87570853, for registration of the mark CHROMAFUSION in

International Classes 16 and 28 (“Applicant’s Mark”).

II. ARGUMENT

In rejecting Applicant’s argument that there will not be a likelihood of confusion, the

Examiner appears to contend that the following factors are the most relevant: (1) similarity of the marks and (2) similarity and nature of the goods and/or services. Applicant respectfully disagrees with the Examiner’s analysis of those factors and the assertions set forth therein.

In conducting an analysis of the likelihood of confusion, the seminal case involving a refusal under Section 2(d) is In re E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. (“du Pont”), in which the U.S.

Court of Customs and Patent Appeals discussed the factors relevant to a determination of a

likelihood of confusion. 476 F.2d 1357, 177 USPQ 563 (C.C.P.A. 1973). In setting forth the

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853 factors, the court cautioned that, with respect to determining likelihood of confusion, “[t]here is no litmus rule which can provide a ready guide to all cases.” Id. at 1361. Moreover, the TMEP acknowledges that the weight given to the relevant du Pont factors may vary. TMEP § 1207.01.

The du Pont factors include:

i. The similarity or dissimilarity of the marks in their entireties as to appearance,

sound, connotation and commercial impression;

ii. The relatedness of the goods or services as described in the application and

registration(s).

iii. The similarity or dissimilarity of established, likely-to-continue trade channels.

iv. The conditions under which buyers to whom sales are made, i.e., “impulse” vs.

careful, sophisticated purchasing.

v. The number and nature of similar marks in use on similar goods.

TMEP §1207.01(a)(iv) (citing du Pont, 476 F.2d at 1362-63; In re Thor Tech, Inc., 113 USPQ2d

1546 (TTAB 2015); In re Davey Prods. Pty Ltd., 92 USPQ2d 1198, 1203-04 (TTAB 2009); In re

Toshiba Med. Sys. Corp., 91 USPQ2d 1266, 1272-74 (TTAB 2009); and Ass’n of the U.S. Army,

85 USPQ2d at 1271-73).

In addition to discussing relevant du Pont factors, the Examining Attorney must provide evidence showing that the goods and services are related to support a finding of a likelihood of confusion. TMEP §1207.01 (citing In re White Rock Distilleries Inc., 92 USPQ2d 1282, 1285

(TTAB 2009)).

A. MARKS ARE ONLY VAGUELY SIMILAR

When comparing the marks, "[a]ll relevant facts pertaining to appearance, sound, and connotation must be considered before similarity as to one or more of those factors

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

may be sufficient to support a finding that the marks are similar or dissimilar." Recot, Inc. v.

M.C. Becton, 214 F.3d 1322, 1329, 54 USPQ2d 1894, 1899 (Fed. Cir. 2000). As noted in the

Final Office Action, with regard to Registrant’s Marks, the marks are alleged to “share part of

the same term.” However, the “share part of the same term” conclusion is limited to only part of the first component of Applicant’s Mark.

The Registrant’s Marks and the Applicant’s Mark are significantly dissimilar from a

visual, phonetic, definitional, and commercial impression perspectives. Applicant’s Mark is

CHROMAFUSION, drawn as “ChromaFusion.” As mentioned before, Registrant’s Marks are

CHROME, BOWMAN CHROME, and TOPPS CHROME.

i. ChromaFusion and CHROME

The Examiner argues that Applicant’s Mark, ChromaFusion, and Registrant’s Mark,

CHROME, are similar and likely to cause confusion in the marketplace. Examiner states in the

Reconsideration Letter that a side-by-side comparison is not appropriate, and yet dissects

Applicant’s Mark and analyzes the “Chroma” portion of the mark to conclude that the two marks

“CHROME” and “CHROMA” are confusingly similar. However, not only is this an

inappropriate way to analyze the two marks, but even if this analyzation method was permissible,

Examiner still has not met the burden needed for refusal of the mark. See Section III below.

Visually, the two marks are different. Applicant’s Mark is much longer and is a

compound word with two distinct but inseparable components, “Chroma” and “Fusion.”

Registrant’s Mark is simply the word “chrome.” Phonetically, the marks are different.

ChromaFusion is four syllables, whereas CHROME is one syllable. The pronunciations of the

marks are also different. Applicant’s mark is pronounced /ˈkrōməˈfyo͞ oZHən/, whereas

Registrant’s mark is pronounced “/krōm/.”

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

Looking at the definitions of the marks, the marks are different. To begin, ChromaFusion

is not a word in the dictionary, and therefore has no actual definition. If the word is dissected,

“chroma” means “the purity of a color, or its freedom from white or gray; intensity of distinctive hue; saturation of a color.” See Exhibit A. “Fusion” means “the act or process of fusing; the

state of being fused,” and “that which is fused; the result of fusing.” See Exhibit B. Overall,

Applicant’s mark creates an impression of colors and the fusing of different hues to create the

goods sold under the mark. As “chroma” includes the definition of the “freedom from white or

gray,” the consuming public would not think gray, silver, or any other variation of a color-

lacking hue when observing the mark ChromaFusion.

Regarding Registrant’s Mark, Oxford defined “chrome” as “Chromium plate as a

decorative or protective finish on motor-vehicle fittings and other objects.” See Exhibit C.

Dictionary.com defines the word “chrome” as a general noun as “chromium” and “chromium-

plated or other bright metallic trim, as on an automobile.” See Exhibit D. Registrant’s Mark

creates the impression of chromium-plated, metallic shiny metal. This can be observed by

specimens of Registrant’s Mark, as the mark itself looks chromium plated. See Exhibit E, F.

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

Chromium, and metal-plated alloys have a gray hue. As defined above, “chroma” is defined as having a freedom from the color gray, and therefore Registrant’s Mark and the part of

Applicant’s Mark with which Examiner most takes issue does not cause confusion. Examiner contends in multiple office actions that “chrome” has the definition of “short for chrome yellow” and therefore the marks are confusingly similar, as they both indicate a “bright or intense color.”

However, this is simply not how the consuming public would see and observe these marks. The

Oxford definition of “chrome yellow” is as follows: “A bright yellow pigment made from lead chromate, now little used.” See Exhibit F. Not only does this definition specifically include that this term, included in the “US English” dictionary, is “now little used,” but also explains that it is a yellow pigment made from lead chromate. Applicant respectfully contends that it is unpersuasive to indicate that consumers who are interested in purchasing protective sleeves for the cards of their board game would see Applicant’s Mark and determine that “chroma” means specifically and only the color yellow, which is made from the chemical lead chromate, and conclude that Applicant’s Mark must be related to Registrant’s Mark. With Examiner’s conclusion of confusing similarity now resting solely on an antiquated term having nothing to do with goods found in International Classes 16 and 28, and with the archaic term’s definition being strained in such a way to show thin and unrealistic relation to only part of Applicant’s Mark,

Examiner has not met the burden of proof necessary to deny registration on the principal register.

ii. ChromaFusion, BOWMAN CHROME, and TOPPS CHROME

Examiner argues that Applicant’s Mark is confusingly similar to Registrant’s Marks,

BOWMAN CHROME and TOPPS CHROME. The Examiner contends, “In the present case, the marks each contain the similar terms ‘CHROME’ / ‘CHROMA’ and the marks as a whole convey the commercial impression of a bright or intense color.” Examiner also argues that “[t]he

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

additional wording in the marks ‘FUSION,’ ‘TOPPS,’ and ‘BOWMAN’ do not obviate the

similarity between the marks when the marks are viewed in their entireties.” However,

Examiner concludes that they are similar based on the fact that, despite the different definitions

of “fusion,” “bowman,” and “topps,” they still all convey the “similar overall general

commercial impression of a bright or intense color.”

Examiner has not met the burden of proving that the marks are confusingly similar. As

mentioned above, the argument that CHROME and ChromaFusion are similar because “chrome”

means “chrome yellow” is weak and deficient, as well as unfair and unrealistic when considering

the reality of the marks as viewed by consumers in the marketplace. Further, the addition of

words to each mark does in fact create even greater differentiation, and should not be completely disregarded. The addition of another word to a mark does alter the mark and does create

distinction and changes the commercial impression a mark.

Regarding TOPPS CHROME, TOPPS CHROME and ChromaFusion are not confusingly

similar. Registrant’s Mark contains two words, whereas Applicant’s Mark is one word.

Registrant’s Mark is two syllables, whereas Applicant’s Mark is four syllables. Further, the

marks have very different pronunciations, as one is pronounced /ˈtäps/ /krōm/ and one is

pronounced /ˈkrōməˈfyo͞ oZHən/. “TOPPS” does not have a dictionary definition. See Section

II.A.i. above for the definitions of “CHROME,” “Chromafusion,” “chroma,” and “fusion.”

Regarding BOWMAN CHROME, BOWMAN CHROME and ChromaFusion are not

confusingly similar. Registrant’s Mark contains two words, whereas Applicant’s Mark is one

fictional word. Registrant’s Mark is three syllables, whereas Applicant’s Mark is four syllables.

The marks have no similarity in pronunciation, as Registrant’s Mark is pronounced /ˈbōmən/ /

krōm/, while Applicant’s Mark is pronounced /ˈkrōməˈfyo͞ oZHən/. “BOWMAN” has the

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853 definition of “[a]n archer” or “[t]he rower who sits nearest the bow of a boat, especially a racing boat.” See Exhibit I. See Section II.A.i. above for the definitions of “CHROME,”

“Chromafusion,” “chroma,” and “fusion.

The Examiner argues that “the marks share the term ‘CHROM’” and therefore the marks cause confusion in the marketplace. However, “chrom” is not a word and no dictionary definition is available, and these five letters are only a portion of the full marks. To hold that the marks are similar on this basis is improper, as not only are the marks improperly dissected, but the consuming public would not find that the marks confusingly similar based on the existence of the same five letters, existing in different parts of different marks. Although the Examiner may give “more or less weight” to certain parts of the mark, the letters “chrom” are not proven to be the defining feature of each mark. Stone Lion Capital Partners, LP v. Lion Capital LLP, 746

F.3d 1317, 1322, 110 USPQ2d 1157, 1161 (Fed. Cir. 2014).

Applicant’s Mark is visually, definitionally, and phonetically different from the cited registrations. The overall impression of each mark is different, and looking at the marks, they are not confusingly similar or likely to cause confusion. One begins with the word “BOWMAN” or “TOPPS” and ends with the word “CHROME,” creating a two-word mark, while the other begins with “Chroma” and ends with “Fusion,” creating a single word. They do not give off the same commercial impression of a “bright or intense color,” and especially not in a way that creates confusion in the marketplace.

B. GOODS ARE DISSIMILAR

The goods sold under the marks are dissimilar and do not possess relation in such a way that causes confusion. Registrant’s Marks are registered to cover the following in International

Class 16: “trading cards.” Registrant’s Marks, in particular, are used for valuable baseball cards

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853 featuring photographs of prominent MLB players, as well as other professional athletes such as soccer players and basketball players. See Exhibit E, H, I.

As mentioned, these baseball cards are very valuable collectors’ pieces and many times, each box comes with autographed sports cards signed by the corresponding professional athlete. See

Exhibit I.

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

Conversely, Applicant’s Mark is for “Plastic protective sleeves having an opaque side

and translucent side for gaming cards and specifically adapted for use in card game competitions

and tournaments; Plastic holders in the nature of sleeves having an opaque side and translucent

side specifically adapted for holding and protecting game cards and for use in card game competitions and tournaments” in International Class 28, and for “Plastic holders in the nature of sleeves having an opaque side and translucent side specifically adapted for holding and protecting collectible trading cards and for use in card game competitions and tournaments” in

International Class 16. Card sleeves such as these are for card games such as Magic: The

Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokémon. See Exhibits J, K, L, M, N, O.

Applicant does not sell any actual trading cards, collectable cards, game cards, baseball cards,

sports cards, or any type of card under the ChromaFusion mark. Rather, Applicant sells plastic

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853 protective sleeves that are intended to go over cards used for card games to protect their integrity while shuffling, playing, and traveling. The goods registered under Registrant’s Marks and the goods applied for under Applicant’s Mark are very different. They serve different purposes and they are highly distinguishable. The consuming public would not be confused by the existence of these two marks. An individual cannot say they are a sports card collector while being in possession of just protective card sleeves. A consumer setting out to purchase a signed baseball card would not get confused by packs of one hundred protective plastic card sleeves.

The Examining Attorney includes several screenshots of websites listing a variety of products for sale, and states that “[t]he Internet evidence of record . . . establishes that the same entity commonly provides trading cards and cases/sleeves for trading cards / gaming cards and markets the goods under the same mark or that trading cards and cases/sleeves for trading cards / gaming cards are sold or provided through the same trade channels and used by the same classes of consumers in the same fields of use” and concludes that, therefore, the goods are related and cause a likelihood of confusion. However, this is not sufficient evidence to satisfy the burden of proving a likelihood of confusion, as collecting baseball cards and hoping for a card signed by a particular athlete is not the same as or confusingly similar to getting involved in Pokémon, the rich fantasy lore of Magic: The Gathering, or purchasing a Game of Thrones board game.

Although Examiner argues that “the fact that purchasers are sophisticated or knowledgeable in a particular field does not necessarily mean that they are sophisticated or knowledgeable in the field of trademarks or immune from source confusion,” this statement does not satisfy the burden of proof required to show that Applicant’s Mark causes a likelihood of confusion. Even if trademarks are determined to be similar, courts have stated that “[i]t is well settled that under certain circumstances otherwise similar marks are not likely to be confused

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

where used in conjunction with the clearly displayed name and/or logo of the manufacturer.”

Astra Pharm. Prod. v. Beckman Instruments, 718 F.2d 1201, 1205 (1st Cir. 1983) (citing

Pignons S. A. de Mechanique de Precision v. Polaroid Corp., 657 F.2d 482, 487 (1st Cir. 1981);

Fisher Stoves, Inc. v. All Nighter Stove Works, Inc., 626 F.2d 193, 194-95 (1st Cir. 1980)); see

also Vitarroz Corp. v. Borden, Inc., 644 F.2d 960, 968-69 (2d Cir. 1981) (“[w]hen similar marks

are always presented in association with company names, the likelihood of confusion is

reduced.”). As shown in the following pictures, the name of the company or manufacturer of the

goods is featured prominently and immediately next to the mark. On the picture of Applicant’s

goods, the manufacturer’s trademark “Ultra PRO” is featured immediately above Applicant’s

Mark. See Exhibits K, L.

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

Regarding Registrant’s CHROME mark, the specimen listed on the USPTO’s Trademark Status

& Document Retrieval (TSDR) shows a TOPPS CHROME product listed on Amazon.com.

Although the word CHROME is featured alone in the name of the listed product, the

manufacturer’s name TOPPS is also included in the name of the listed product. Further, the

photograph of the product on the listing shows TOPPS and CHROME together. See Exhibit H.

In regards to Registrant’s TOPPS CHROME mark, the mark as shown on the product includes the name of the manufacturer. Further, the product seems to be stamped with or come sealed in

plastic wrap featuring the TOPPS logo of the manufacturer, The Topps Company. See Exhibit F,

Exhibit P.

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

Registrant’s BOWMAN CHROME product similarly comes stamped with or wrapped in film or plastic wrap featuring the TOPPS logo. As mentioned, marks are not likely to be confused where they are used in conjunction with the clearly displayed name and/or logo of the manufacturer. Here, the TOPPS logo is clearly packed and displays the logo of the manufacturer. See Exhibits E, F, P.

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

If the goods or services in question are not related or marketed in such a way that they

would be encountered by the same person in situations that would create the incorrect

assumption that they originate from the same source, then, even if the marks are identical,

confusion is not likely. See, e.g., Coach Servs., Inc. v. Triumph Learning LLC, 668 F.3d 1356,

1371, 101 USPQ 1713 (Fed. Cir. 2012); Shen Mfg. Co. v. Ritz Hotel Ltd., 393 F.3d 1238, 1244-

45, 73 USPQ2d 1350, 1356 (Fed. Cir. 2004); Local Trademarks, Inc. v. Handy Boys Inc., 16

USPQ2d 1156, 1158 (TTAB 1990); Quartz Radiation Corp. v. Comm/Scope Co., 1 USPQ2d

1668, 1669 (TTAB 1986). Here, the marks are not identical, and are not confusingly similar.

Further, the goods are for two entirely different sets of consumers interested in different types of hobbies, and having different product needs. Because one set of goods are rare collector’s items, and another is protective plastic sleeves for playing cards, the goods are different and are not confusingly related. They are not marketed or related in a way that causes confusion, and the very different purposes the goods serve demonstrate that there is no likelihood of confusion.

In addition, those who purchase baseball cards and other professional athlete collectable cards marketed under Registrant’s Marks, and those who purchase protective cards sleeves for their trading card games such as Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokémon marketed under Applicant’s Mark are both two very different and sophisticated sets of consumers that exhibit a high degree of purchaser care. Collecting and trading baseball cards and other sports cards is a long-standing hobby that Registrant has been a part of for generations. Those who are

involved in baseball cards and other sports cards consider elements such as whether or not cards

are rookie cards or the first card in the set, the number of the card in each series, or whether or

not the card is a refractor. See e.g., Andrew Harner, A Beginner’s Guide to Buying, Selling, and

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

Trading Baseball Cards, HOBBYLARK, https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect- baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide (last updated April 1, 2020) (attached as Exhibit Q).

Conversely, there are many considerations card game enthusiasts think about when choosing which card sleeves to purchase to protect their cards. Some considerations include shuffle feel, texture, thickness, durability, level of the backing’s opacity to ensure legality in

tournaments, pack size, manufacturer, and shiny or matte finish. See, e.g., The Best Card Sleeves

for MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh! & More: 2020 Guide, GEEK & LEISURE, https://geekandleisure.com/best- card-sleeves-for-mtg-yu-gi-oh-guide-359/ (last updated Apr. 6, 2020) (attached as Exhibit R).

These two groups of consumers are sophisticated and put a lot of time and money into either growing their collection of sports cards in the case of Registrant’s customers, or finding the right brand, type, shuffle feel, and thickness of card sleeves to protect their game cards from damage while playing and have them tournament-ready for judge approval or fair tabletop

gameplay. Although Examiner argues “where the purchasers consist of both professionals and

the public, the standard of care for purchasing the goods is that of the least sophisticated

potential buyer,” those in one hobby are not likely to cross paths in purchasing products for their

favorite pastime, and if they do move from one hobby to the next, they likely are already

sophisticated in one hobby, making confusion even less feasible.

Lastly, Examiner argues that “[w]here evidence shows that the goods at issue have

complementary uses, and thus are often used together or otherwise purchased by the same

purchasers for the same or related purposes, such goods have generally been found to be

sufficiently related such that confusion would be likely if they are marketed under the same or

similar marks.” However, Examiner has not shown that Applicant’s products and Registrant’s

products have complementary uses or that they would be used together. In reality, a consumer of

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

Registrant’s products would typically store such products in a photo album-type binder or hard clear cases called “toploaders” which cannot be shuffled – because they are not meant to be – and allow the information on both the front and back, such as game statistics and serial numbers, of the cards to be visible. To see some examples of “toploaders,” see Exhibits J and P. Storage methods such as these allow the cards to be kept safe for storage, but also to be visible from both sides.

Conversely, Applicant’s products are completely opaque on one side, hiding information that may be on the back of the card, as well as signs of wear and tear that could give away the card that is on the top of the deck, thus making tournament judge approval more likely. Also, the sleeves are thin, allowing for easy shuffling. Further, many ChromaFusion sleeves feature artwork of characters from games such as the Magic: The Gathering franchise, or pieces of fantasy art done by artists. See Exhibits K, L, M, N, O, S. The products do not have complementary uses and Examiner has set forth only conjecture, and no actual evidence showing that the goods have complementary uses. The goods involved are not in competition with one another, as each product is for a wholly different audience of consumers.

Baseball cards are not used in a type of game the way that playing cards are, and a collector would likely never want to shuffle their baseball cards out of the fear of damaging them, or desire half of the card to be hidden, since each side contains important information that a collector would want to display and be able to view. The goods are incompatible with one another, consumers would not mix these two sets of products, and as mentioned before, if the goods or services in question are not related or marketed in such a way that they would be encountered by the same person in situations that would create the incorrect assumption that they originate from the same source, then, even if the marks are identical, confusion is not likely. See,

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853 e.g., Coach Servs., Inc. v. Triumph Learning LLC, 668 F.3d 1356, 1371, 101 USPQ 1713 (Fed.

Cir. 2012); Shen Mfg. Co. v. Ritz Hotel Ltd., 393 F.3d 1238, 1244-45, 73 USPQ2d 1350, 1356

(Fed. Cir. 2004); Local Trademarks, Inc. v. Handy Boys Inc., 16 USPQ2d 1156, 1158 (TTAB

1990); Quartz Radiation Corp. v. Comm/Scope Co., 1 USPQ2d 1668, 1669 (TTAB 1986).

The descriptions of Applicant’s goods being sold under the ChromaFusion mark are very narrow, detailing that the plastic sleeves are specifically opaque on one side for tournament play and card game competitions. Applicant’s descriptions are not broad; they narrowly state the description of the goods, and they do not include Registrant’s set of goods. As mentioned,

Applicant does not sell trading cards or physical cards of any type under the ChromaFusion mark. Rather, they sell specially designed, protective, easy-shuffling, and opaque card sleeves for mechanical card games such as Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokémon. Note that

Examiner’s Suspension Letter exhibit (attached here as Exhibit J) shows a game store’s website page for “Card Sleeves & Tournament Sleeves” and states “Perfect for: Magic, Pokemon, Yu-

Gi-Oh, Redakai, Dragon Ball Z, Chaotic, Naruto, Inuyuasha, Bella Sara, Dinosaur King, World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings, etc.” and Baseball Cards are not mentioned on this banner.

C. BURDEN NOT MET

Applicant respectfully disagrees with Examiner’s arguments and opinions regarding the unsupported conclusion that Applicant’s Mark is confusingly similar to the cited registrations.

The Trademark Examiner has not sustained the burden of proof set forth by the USPTO.

Examiner has set forth some evidence, but only conjecture. See, e.g., Shen Mfg. Co. v. Ritz Hotel

Ltd., 393 F.3d at 1244-45 (where the TTAB’s holding was reversed because the relatedness of the respective goods and services was not supported by substantial evidence).

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

Examiner has stretched definitions extracted from parts of Applicant’s Mark and

Registrant’s Marks in a way that is neither realistic nor the way the consuming public and

relevant consumer bases of each product perceive the marks in the marketplace. The marks when considered both in whole and in part are not similar and no likelihood of confusion exists.

Further, the marks are always accompanied by the name of the manufacturer, thus eliminating any likelihood of confusion.

Examiner has stated that the goods marketed under Applicant’s Mark and the goods

marketed under Registrant’s marks are related and are complementary. However, Examiner set

forth only cursory evidence and Examiner’s office actions contained only conjecture. The goods

are not related or marketed in a way that would cause confusion, the goods are not

complementary, and the marks in question are always accompanied by the manufacturer’s mark.

Further, Applicant’s mark is not broad or all-encompassing, but rather narrow and specific.

Examiner has not fully considered the sophistication of those in the relevant market of

Applicant’s products and those in the relevant market of Registrant’s products. Each group is

highly sophisticated and takes great care in choosing which products to purchase. Even the least

sophisticated buyer would not be confused. A consumer new to purchasing Registrant’s

products would not purchase Applicant’s product out of confusion because the marks are not

confusingly similar and they are always accompanied by the manufacturer’s mark, and a new

consumer would also not purchase Applicant’s ChromaFusion product for storing Registrant’s

products, as Applicant’s products are purposefully opaque, thus frustrating the purpose of

Registrant’s products.

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853

III. CONCLUSION

“[A] court must determine, in the light of what occurs in the marketplace, whether the mark ‘will be confusing to the public when singly presented.’” Wynn Oil Co. v. Thomas, 839

F.2d 1183, 1187 (6th Cir. 1988) (quoting BeerNuts, Inc. v. Clover Club Foods Co., 711 F.2d 934,

941 (10th Cir. 1983)). Here, when each mark in question is singly presented, there is no confusion. The marks are not confusingly similar and do not cause confusion in the marketplace.

Moreover, there is not a possibility that relevant consumers might relate the different goods offered between Applicant and those that Registration Nos. 4352791, 2251239, and 2265679 identify as having the same origin. Even if there was a possibility, the mere possibility that relevant purchasers might relate the two different goods as having the same origin does not meet the statutorily established test of likelihood of confusion. E.g., In re Huges Aircraft Co, 222

USPQ 263, 264 (TTAB 1984) (“the Trademark Act does not preclude registration of a mark where there is a possibility of confusion as to source or origin, only where such confusion is likely”) (emphasis added). Overall, the differences visually, phonetically, and definitionally in the marks themselves, their commercial impressions, and the differences in the services they identify establish that no likelihood of confusion exists in the marketplace. Further, the goods involved are not competitive and are incompatible, as they are intended for two entirely different groups of consumers involved in two very different hobbies.

In conclusion, Examiner has not sustained the necessary burden of proving a likelihood of confusion, and has not set forth sufficient evidence to conclude that there would be a likelihood of confusion between Applicant’s Mark and the cited registrations. Therefore,

Applicant respectfully requests that the Board reverse the Examining Attorney’s determination

APPLICANT’S BRIEF APPLICATION NUMBER 87/570,853 that there is a likelihood of confusion in relation to Applicant’s registration of the mark and allow the application to proceed to publication.

Dated: October 12, 2020 Respectfully submitted,

Amanda Westfall, Attorney for Applicant Keener and Associates, P.C. 1671 North Clark Street Suite 1600 Chicago, Illinois 60601

User Reviews

mkb | Nov 22, 2019 | Reply Did Topps basically just conrm that Bobby Witt Jr. won’t be in 2019 Bowman Draft?

Trey Treutel | Nov 22, 2019 | Reply Well, this info came out on November 5, but if Witt’s 1st Bowman is in 2020 like the mock-up image shows, it would seem unlikely that he would also be in 2019 Bowman Draft.

mkb | Nov 23, 2019 | Reply Well dang, guess I’ll have to wait a while.

Fred | Feb 6, 2020 | Reply With hobby box’s approaching $200. It getting into the high end cards. Not good. And only one auto.

Damien | Feb 9, 2020 | Reply Hobby is being driven by breakers and gamblers with deep pockets. If the latter leave, the hobby will implode. I doubt these price hikes are sustainable. Feels like a bubble right now.

Chris | Mar 17, 2020 | Reply You can shove your overpriced boxes, Topps. Not paying 200 bucks or more for one autograph. Insane. I’ll just buy a decent autograph or two.

Don J | Mar 18, 2020 | Reply Do you think there might be a delay on some of these baseball card release dates due to Coronavirus?

https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2020-bowman-baseball-cards 24/30 5/29/2020 2020 Bowman Baseball Checklist, MLB Set Info, Chrome Prospects, Boxes

Trey Treutel | Mar 18, 2020 | Reply It’s certainly possible. As always, as soon as we have updates, the info will be posted.

Owen Myket | Apr 1, 2020 | Reply Do you know when the checklist comes out? I know that they tell you in advance, but I just don’t remember when. Thanks!

Trey Treutel | Apr 1, 2020 | Reply It’s usually a week before the release date, but that has not been the case lately.

Aden Taylor | Apr 6, 2020 | Reply So what is going to happen with the checklist and all that since Bowman is now delayed?

Trey Treutel | Apr 6, 2020 | Reply It means the checklist will be released at a later date.

Owen Myket | Apr 7, 2020 | Reply Wait, when has the release been pushed back to?

Trey Treutel | Apr 7, 2020 | Reply It’s now scheduled to release in May but nothing is set in stone.

Don J | Apr 7, 2020 | Reply I’ve seen 5/27 as a potential release date…

Trey Treutel | Apr 7, 2020 | Reply Yep. It’s May TBD and May 27 is the last Wednesday of the month.

al razz | Apr 10, 2020 | Reply way over priced what yu doing topps/bowman ? greedy

J M | Apr 25, 2020 | Reply Great Product Coming Up!

James Earl Jones | May 2, 2020 | Reply Approaching $200 for one mediocre autograph? Yikes!

Fred | May 8, 2020 | Reply Now approaching $ 250 a box. Will it get to $ 300 .

Kelly B | May 15, 2020 | Reply Did the release date get moved up to May 22nd? I thought it was the 27th.

Trey Treutel | May 15, 2020 | Reply The 27th was never the ocial date, it was May TBD. Topps announced this week that the nal release date was May 22.

James Earl Jones | May 18, 2020 | Reply Nice! We reached $330 for a single hobby box. Not even a jumbo box. Yay! We did it! Thank you Case Breakers/Group Breakers for destroying the hobby! And Topps/Panini for openly supporting/promoting them on social media. Yay! Woohoo!

Paul LaCourse | May 19, 2020 | Reply At $350.00 a box and rising I guess I will buy my Jasson’s on Ebay. Same thing with Ohtani and then Wander and yada yads.

Arthur Kinney | May 19, 2020 | Reply Will the production issues make this Hobby-only or is there still plans for a retail release?

Trey Treutel | May 19, 2020 | Reply

https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2020-bowman-baseball-cards 26/30 5/29/2020 2020 Bowman Baseball Checklist, MLB Set Info, Chrome Prospects, Boxes Retail is still on as planned from what I have heard. Considering the Paper Prospects Autograph set is exclusive to Retail, that is likely a clear sign.

Arthur Kinney | May 19, 2020 | Reply Thanks!

Trey Treutel | May 19, 2020 | Reply Yep. I actually just saw that Retail is already showing up today.

Arthur Kinney | May 19, 2020 | Reply Is Walmart getting stocked with cards where you live? Here in Cleveland, it seems like only Target is getting shipments from Excel.

Also, not sure if you’re aware of this, but in the Great Lakes region, Meijer gets the same products that Walmart gets, including Walmart exclusives (I’ve seen Gallery and Playo there – may have seen Parkhurst, too, can’t remember for sure).

George glazener | May 19, 2020 | Reply Showing up???where? At Wal-Mart already?

Trey Treutel | May 19, 2020 | Reply Someone posted about nding them at Target.

https://twitter.com/VillageBreaks/status/1262804402521415681

leor | May 19, 2020 | Reply retail is hard to nd and price gauging is a big issue for bowman

Dan Wornica | May 21, 2020 | Reply Already gone at TARGET/WALMART online, ippers taking the pics of their loot in the parking lot throwing them on Ebay for at least twice retail value. Case break/ippers and those who are the real problem supporting them are killing the hobby. Might as well just buy singles of who you want etc because you will pay more trying to “hit” them.

Leor Greeneld | May 21, 2020 | Reply Look at EBay do not buy from these people we must not let them win and they should be in dept with blasters if bowman there taking advantage of the pandemic to make a buck donate to charity with that money

https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2020-bowman-baseball-cards 27/30 5/29/2020 2020 Bowman Baseball Checklist, MLB Set Info, Chrome Prospects, Boxes

ronr | May 21, 2020 | Reply Not paying that price for a single auto of somebody that not ever make it much less be a star. Sorry Topps but you are not getting any of my money on this product. Not paying the price for Panini’s Mosaic basketball either!

Matt | May 22, 2020 | Reply the regular hobby box cost as much as jumbo did last year? there should be a set price not what the breakers charge for it. will not be buying ripo

Jeremiah | May 22, 2020 | Reply I agree with Matt, ronr, leor and seeming most everyone else here. As someone that was working back into the hobby (Junk Wax Era kid) because of my son the breakers and the CRAZY pricing have completely turned me o. I do fairly well and still nd the pricing (and continued escalations) to be beyond silly. Seems like the bubble of the Junk Era creeping back in.

Dan | May 22, 2020 | Reply Like others have said we have to stop paying double on eBay for this stu so it stops. Can’t nd these anywhere and topps sells out so fast. It’s also a shame that other companies and hobby stores are now matching eBay prices instead of just selling them at suggested retail price. A bowman blaster should never go for 40 it doesn’t even have that much to oer.

Arthur Kinney | May 22, 2020 | Reply Already sold out in Cleveland Targets and Walmarts.

I’m thinking that we’ve reached the point where any prospect product is immediately “high-end”.

Then again, we may be at the point where every product is somewhat high-end due to rookies. Heck, we had an SSP in the Opening Day base set. Opening freaking Day!

Arthur Kinney | May 22, 2020 | Reply I’ve seen a Bowman blaster for $65 (including shipping) on ebay.

joe13 | May 23, 2020 | Reply Bowman cards are again a good looking product, hard to nd & get. Too many inserts. Should be more MLB players than just 100 cards. $300 for a box, too expensive for a product that’s mostly minor leaguers who will not likely see the majors.

Bryan K | May 23, 2020 | Reply Bowman has always been one of my favorites, but 350 dollars a box. Take your money and just invest in the singles you want and let the idiots who over pay suer.Flippers and greed will destroy our hobby again.

Jim S | May 23, 2020 | Reply AVOID IT LIKE CORONA VIRUS!! THIS ***** BOWMAN IS NO GOOD AT THE PRICE YOUR PAYING FOR IT. NOT WOTH IT AT ALL. I WILL NOT WASTE MY MONEY ON THIS

https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2020-bowman-baseball-cards 28/30 5/29/2020 2020 Bowman Baseball Checklist, MLB Set Info, Chrome Prospects, Boxes ANY MORE. TO DAM COSTLY! THERE IS MORE PRODUCTS OUT THERE MORE AFFORDABLE FOR US POOR PEOPLE…. NOT BUYING BOWMAN! $400 FOR A JUMBO…. THATS JUST BS…. AND MY RENT FOR THE MONTH. TOPPS BETTER GET MORE REASONABLE ON THERE PRICES!

Paul L. | May 25, 2020 | Reply Was given a good deal by my local card shop on a couple of jumbos. Pulled autos of Darren Duran sparkle to 299, Sherten Apoltel base, Alvard Seijas sparkle to 299, De La Cruz base, Aaron Ashby atomic to 100, and the biggest hit of my life; a gold refractor Jasson Dominguez auto to 50. Obviously I am going to give a good review but if not for the Dominguez and not getting a deal on the boxes I doubt if I would have purchased this pricey product.

Andrew Vigeant | May 26, 2020 | Reply I bought 3 jumbos and didn’t get a card that would be worth more than $30 on ebay. All the signatures were low key. Very disappointed. All the refactors were a disappointment. Not for this price. Avoid.

Leor Greeneld | May 27, 2020 | Reply It was back in stock at target for less than a minute there must be bots buying all of them to resale this kind of stu only happens with Topps panini is way better they need a lisence and Topps should stop making retail exclusives panini products are much easier to nd the hobby is becoming a business and resselers are taking advantage the of the pandemic knowing that people have stimulus checks

Aden Taylor | May 29, 2020 | Reply This is absolutely outrageous pricing! With the news of cutting 1000+ Minor League players just now happening, people need to consider selling these at a low price because now all of the prospects in this will probably be jobless by the time all cuts have been made. Whoever is selling these at $300-$500 hobby/jumbo and $65 blasters should consider selling them at a way lower price due to the fact that there may not even be a Minor League season.

So you've decided you want to learn how to collect baseball cards, huh? Well, from 30 years of experience, I can tell you that you've chosen a rewarding hobby that you can make your own. Baseball cards provide the unique ability for an individual to specialize in collecting just about anything, so let's learn how to begin building your dream baseball card collection.

Some of the more common themes collectors gravitate toward include player collecting, team collecting, set building, vintage collecting, and what is called parallel rainbow collecting (more on all these types of collections later). However, there is nothing to stop you from collecting players who graduated from your college, live in your home state, or who share your birthday. https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 1/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark Perhaps you only want to collect cards that show pitchers hitting (or hitters pitching), or cards that show head- first slides into bases, or cards that picture the player blowing a bubble gum bubble, or cards with an American flag in the background, or players with unique names (like Oil Can Boyd, Wonderful Terrific Monds, or Razor Shines). I even once kept any card I found that had the Wrigley Field ivy in the background, and any card that showed a player from my favorite team (the Cleveland Indians) in the background. The possibilities are endless.

Baseball Card Collecting 101

In their simplest form, baseball cards are a small piece of cardboard featuring photos of baseball players on the front, a card number, typically another photo, a biography, and statistics on the back. The first baseball cards doubled as advertisements for businesses and came into circulation in the 1860s. By the early 1900s, cards were most commonly found within packs of cigarettes, including the world-famous 1909-11 T206 Honus Wagner. Several companies began producing baseball cards into the 1930s, like Goudey Chewing Gum, but it was after the end of World War II when mainstream production of baseball cards began.

In 1948, cards were produced by Leaf and Bowman, as well as a small set from Topps. In 1952, Topps produced one of the most sought after sets to this day, and its first big set helped the company purchase Bowman by 1955 (Leaf ceased production in 1950). Topps essentially held a monopoly until 1981, when Donruss and Fleer were granted licenses to print baseball cards after a successful lawsuit claimed Topps had a monopoly. In 1982, Topps was awarded exclusive rights to distribute baseball cards with gum, so Donruss began to produce puzzles and Fleer inserted team logo stickers into its packs as incentives to collectors.

As card collecting gained popularity, two price guides surfaced in 1984 (Beckett and Tuff Stuff), and both stayed relevant for many years until the internet became the primary venue for dealing cards (Beckett's magazine is still mass-produced, but its valuations are considered inaccurate by the majority of the hobby because of the ability to search real-market value by viewing completed eBay auctions). In 1988, Score began https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 2/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark producing baseball cards, and a year later, Upper Deck debuted and introduced a premium card that included an anti-counterfeit hologram on the back, as well as the most popular rookie card of Ken Griffey Jr.

1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card

Also in 1989, Topps re-introduced the Bowman brand, but with Upper Deck on the scene, premium cards were in play as the baseball card industry boomed into a billion-dollar market. Donruss re-launched the Leaf brand in 1990, and in 1991, Topps produced Stadium Club, and Fleer produced Ultra as premium alternatives. One year later, gold foil became a hot seller, as all brands donned cards with shine and Score produced its Pinnacle set for the first time. Then, starting in 1993, even higher premium issues began getting released—Topps Finest https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 3/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark ('93), Fleer Flair ('93), Upper Deck SP ('93), Bowman's Best ('94)—and by the late 1990s, there were more than 30 base sets being produced each year, as Pacific had also joined the mainstream fray.

Companies started inserting a handful of autographs into releases in the early 1990s, but it was the 1996 Leaf Signature Series full run of autographs that began a new craze. In 1997, Upper Deck produced a three-card set that included swatches of game-used jerseys of Griffey Jr., Tony Gwynn, and Rey Ordonez (then an up- and-coming shortstop, who was very strong defensively but never matured into a complete player). That same year, Fleer produced the first 1-of-1's with its Masterpieces parallel in the Flair set. All three types of cards remain prevalent in today's collecting landscape.

But as the market became saturated with too many products, the bubble burst and companies began to fold. Pinnacle was out of business in 1998 and Pacific closed shop in 2001. Donruss did not produce cards in 1999 or 2000 and eventually lost its MLB license in 2006. Fleer went bankrupt in 2005, and its assets were purchased by Upper Deck, though it lost its own MLB license in 2009, still produced cards for a few years through an agreement with the MLB Players' Association, which allowed player names and likenesses to used without copyrighted logos. Panini, which owns the rights to the Donruss brand names, operates under the same measures in today's market and competes with Topps. Types of Baseball Cards

Now that you know a little history about baseball cards, let's breakdown what types of cards exist and how to build your collection!

Digital Cards Base Cards Subsets Rookie Cards Insert Cards Parallels Autographs Relic Cards

Digital Baseball Cards Increasing in popularity are digital baseball cards or sets offered for purchase exclusively online. Some examples of these products from Topps include:

Topps Bunt app Topps Now Topps Living Set Topps 2020 Project Topps Throwback Thursday Topps Game Within A Game

https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 4/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark Topps has also developed several sets that were only available to purchase online. Included were sets designed and collated by superstars like Bryce Harper and Francisco Lindor.

Base Cards The most basic of baseball cards are called just that—base cards. Those are the individual cards that comprise regular sets. Examples of common brands that feature (or featured) base cards are Topps, Panini, Bowman, Stadium Club, Upper Deck, Fleer/Skybox, Donruss/Leaf, Pacific, and Pinnacle/Score. Base cards typically make up sets of hundreds of cards—often broken down into two series—featuring the best players from the season before, though some base sets target only the top stars and can run fewer than 100 cards.

Subsets Considered sets within regular sets, subsets are runs of usually 10-40 cards within a base set that feature players who have similar traits (such as power hitters, rookies, base stealers, top pitchers, league leaders, World Series highlights, etc.). Subsets are defined by a different design than the traditional base cards (such as hand-painted Donruss Diamond Kings or multi-player Topps League Leaders) or by a printed symbol (such as Donruss Rated Rookies or Topps All-Star Rookies). Despite their uniqueness, subsets typically hold about half the value of a player's base card.

Rookie Cards Rules regarding rookie cards have changed throughout the years, but at its core, a rookie card is a base card from the first year a player is included in a major set. As such, these cards carry a premium because there is a higher demand for them. Oftentimes, a player's rookie cards do not reflect the year the player made his Major League debut, such as Derek Jeter, who had rookie cards in 1993 but didn't debut until 1995. In the 1990s and early 2000s, players often had Bowman rookie cards, as the company would produce cards of promising draft picks or low-level minor league players, which led to a lot of players who never made it into MLB having licensed Major League cards produced.

In 2006, Major League Baseball stepped in to make rules about rookie cards, creating a rookie card logo and only allowing players to be in base sets starting the year of their Major League debut. Companies circumvented that rule by producing insert cards of minor league players, which is why New York Mets rookie Peter Alonso has cards with the rookie card logo in 2019 products but had his first Bowman card released in 2017.

Insert Cards Special edition cards inserted into packs are called inserts. On the back of packs of baseball cards are odds for all the insert cards. These are smaller specialty sets that, like subsets, feature players who have similar traits, but are rarer than cards in the regular series and hold additional value. Common inserts sometimes are inserted one per pack, while others can be very rare and found only once every case or more infrequently. Inserts are often distinguished by foil serial-numbering on the front or back of the card or by a design that significantly differs from the base series.

Parallels Parallel cards are those that use the same photo and design as the base card but implement a small change to make it different. The most common parallels feature colored borders, colored foil, die-cutting, or Refractor technology (a rainbow effect on the card's surface). Parallel cards are often serial-numbered, but can also be https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 5/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark found on a per pack or per case basis in some sets. For example, a red-bordered retail exclusive parallel card may be found once per pack, while a red-bordered Refractor serial-numbered to five may not be found in every case of boxes.

Autographs A card featuring a certified autograph of the player shown on the front are among the most popular in today's market. The cards may be hand-signed by the player, the autograph may be signed on a sticker that is placed on the card by the manufacturer, or the autograph could be cut from a check or other document if the player is deceased. Sticker autographs allow for faster signing and easier inclusion of a player in multiple sets but are frowned upon by many collectors because sticker autographs often are not as aesthetically pleasing. Hand- signed—or "on-card"—autographs also give the experience of the player handling the actual card. Autographs used to very rare to find, but are now usually found at least once per box.

1997 Upper Deck Game Jersey Tony Gwynn

Relic Cards Game-used memorabilia was a big hit when introduced in 1997, and it has continued to be one of the most popular trends in card collecting. Everything from jerseys, to bats, to gloves, to bases, to baseballs, to shoes, to stadium seats have been used as relic cards throughout the past two decades. Card companies even made controversial decisions to cut up memorabilia used by legends such as Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Ty Cobb, and Ted Williams to place onto baseball cards.

https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 7/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark Patches and laundry tags are the most sought-after relic cards. A patch often includes multiple colors of a jersey (such as from a nameplate or the team logo), and the more colors included in the patch window, the higher priced the card will be. Typically, patches are only found on cards produced with a low serial number. In the early 2000s, however, fake patches became a problem in the industry, so unnumbered cards from that era with extraordinary patches should be carefully examined.

In today's market, "game-used" memorabilia can be a little more difficult to find, as companies began producing "player-worn" memorabilia cards. This means a player may wear a jersey for a photoshoot or while signing autographs, and the company will then cut it up and use it for cards.

Additionally, some relics are just that—manufactured relics. These types of cards will include a custom fabric patch, commemorative coin, etc., produced by the company for a specific set. The cards are often printed on very thick card stock and can demand a premium.

Which Cards Are Worth Collecting?

Many baseball card collections start broad and become more focused over time, especially among novice collectors, who may be learning more and more about baseball cards with every one they receive. Perhaps the biggest foundational block of a collection is determining exactly what you plan to collect, and how much you're willing to spend on your new hobby. Luckily, single packs of cards can be had for just a buck or two or for thousands of dollars, so there is an unopened product for every budget, and the same can be said for singles sold on secondary markets.

But before you start just buying everything you can find, here are some common types of collections you may want to consider starting.

Set Building Player Collecting Team Collecting Parallel Rainbow Collecting Vintage Collecting

Set Building Among the best places to start a baseball card collection is by set building. This is the practice of compiling one example of every card in a particular series of cards. In today's market, the most common set to build is Topps Series I and Series II. In 2019, the first series included 350 cards, featuring many of the top players and rookies in baseball. Subset cards (sets within the set) include World Series highlights, stadiums, league leaders, future stars, and Topps All-Star Rookies.

Additionally, the series includes 75 short-printed photo variations and 25 super short-printed legends, and those 100 cards are sought after by master set builders. The second series is set up much the same, minus the World Series highlights and league leaders. An Update Series is released every year, as well, and Series I and Series II cards are later combined into a factory set that is sold separately.

Working to complete the entire run of cards can greatly help a new collector determine how to build a more specific collection. One of the first sets I remember attempting to complete as a young collector was 1998 Topps Series I. The main reason was that packs of the cards were available at a local store in the small town https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 8/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark where I lived, but another was because it was a cool set. Topps really stepped up its photography with that release, and I remember unique cards such as Billy Wagner wearing a fireman's hat because he was a dominant closer, Brian Jordan swinging a baseball bat at a football because he played both sports, and Jay Bell using a golf club while standing on a base. Because of cards like those, I began to save other unique cards I would find—some notable examples I recall are the 1997 Collector's Choice Omar Vizquel card where he is pictured with a yellow car and some Gold Glove awards, the 1984 Fleer Glenn Hubbard card where he is holding a boa constrictor, and the 1996 Collector's Choice Rex Hudler card which shows him milking a cow on the back.

While building the set, however, I also became more of a Mike Piazza collector because he was featured on the most significant insert card I pulled from any of the packs—a Topps Mystery Finest Refractor, which was inserted once every 144 packs. I already liked Piazza (I called him Mike Pizza when I received a card of his during Little League), but that pull really pushed my collecting of him to a new level. These are perfect examples of how set building can lead you to a new collection.

A sampling of cards included in my personal player collection of Tim Salmon.

Player Collecting To build a player collection, many collectors make an attempt to collect every card issued of a certain player. While that is pretty well impossible given the low print runs of some parallel cards (including highly sought after 1 of 1's), the chase of acquiring as many cards as you can of a specific player is thrilling. For me, I am a "super-collector" of Tim Salmon, the 1993 American League Rookie of the Year and longtime Angels star who won a World Series in 2002. His first release came in 1988 as a minor league issue, and he continued to have cards produced regularly until 2006, the year following his retirement. However, because he was a popular player but not a superstar, he has only had a handful of post-retirement cards produced, giving a fan like myself an opportunity to continue my collection. Bigger name Hall of Famers, however, continue to have hundreds of cards released every year, making collections of those players that much more difficult to complete.

What follows are two examples of players who played the bulk of their careers in the 1990s and two players who are stars in today's game, and the breakdown of the baseball cards they've had produced:

Ken Griffey Jr.

As of July 1, 2019, according to Beckett.com, there have been approximately 18,750 cards produced of him. This includes 291 cards released in 2019. One his most produced years was 1998 when he had about 1,040 unique cards produced. Approximately 4,548 of his cards (24.3 percent) have been released since 2012, which is two years after his retirement.

Mark Grace

As of July 1, 2019, according to Beckett.com, there have been approximately 3,357 cards produced of him. That includes 24 cards released in 2019. https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 9/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark Approximately 907 of his cards (27 percent) have been released since 2005, which is two years after his retirement. Grace had no cards released in 2010 or 2011, and of his post-retirement releases, 451 of those cards (49.7 percent) came in 2005.

Bryce Harper

As of July 1, 2019, according to Beckett.com, there have been approximately 8,400 cards produced of him. This includes 528 cards released in 2019 (he had 2,024 cards in 2018). Of his releases, about 6,300 (75 percent) are serial numbered, and more than a quarter of his cards include a relic, autograph, or both.

Edwin Encarnacion

As of July 1, 2019, according to Beckett.com, there have been approximately 3,390 cards produced of him. This includes 185 cards released in 2019. Of his releases, about 2,495 (73.4 percent) of his cards are serial numbered.

Many factors contribute to these figures, but you can see a lot of similarities in many of these numbers, despite one player being a prominent superstar and one being more of an under-the-radar star. The bottom line: The less popular a player, the more likely you'll be to acquire a significant portion of the player's baseball cards (unless you have a lot of money to pour into the hobby), but the fewer cards you'll have to chase.

Just for fun, let's take a look at another example.

One of the most collected players is Nolan Ryan, and because he retired in 1993, the number of cards released during his playing career is limited. However, because he is such a sought-after player, card companies continue to produce his cards today, driving up his total number of cards to among the highest levels in the hobby. Below is a breakdown of some of his card stats:

As of July 1, 2019, according to Beckett.com, there have been approximately 14,737 cards produced of him This includes 398 cards released in 2019 Approximately 12,900 of his cards (a staggering 87.5 percent) have been released since 1995, which is two years after his retirement That includes 1,588 cards from 2004 and 2,597 cards from 2005. Those years alone account for 227% more cards than Ryan had produced during his playing career (1966-1993)!

Player collecting doesn't have to just be a chase for every card, though. Some player collectors will only collect cards with serial numbers (some even go farther to only acquire cards where the serial number matches the player's jersey number), and some player collectors will only collect cards that are visually appealing to them (such as Refractors, cards first produced by Topps with a Rainbow effect; or Dufex, a 1990s technology started by Pinnacle that blurred backgrounds).

https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 10/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark One of the more well-known player collectors is Tanner Jones, who specializes in Jose Canseco cards. Not only has Jones spent a day with Canseco, he's appeared in magazines and written a book about his collecting experience, which I would personally recommend to both novice and experienced collectors. He is one of the most knowledgeable collectors out there, and in his book, provides an entertaining look at the world of baseball card collecting.

As you can see, the possibilities for player collecting are truly endless, and if you have a player you like, I hope you'll find a way to make a unique collection of him!

Team Collecting Another popular type of collection is team collecting, which entails acquiring as many cards as you can of your favorite team. Some individuals keep only one of each unique card, while others do things differently. A team collection can give a collector the historical view of their team, as the larger regular issues include at least one card of most every prominent player on the team from that season, and accomplishments, such as records and World Series wins, are often commemorated by card companies.

The popularity of the team can once again dictate how many cards you'll have to collect. Again using Beckett.com's catalog of cards, a search for "Cleveland Indians" produces just under 100,000 unique cards, while using the keyword "New York Yankees" brings back over 225,000 results. These are just ballpark figures, but you can see how a team's general popularity can determine the number of baseball cards produced of its players.

Many team collectors store their cards in chronological order, displaying them in binders or keeping them in boxes, while others may sort the cards by brand and then in chronological order, showing both an evolving history of the team and each baseball card company.

Parallel Rainbow Collecting The term "rainbow" has a very important meaning in the current baseball card landscape. Unlike the natural phenomenon that occurs when sunlight shines through moist air, a rainbow in baseball card collecting is a set of parallel cards that have different colored foil or borders. Among the most popular rainbows to complete are those found in Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome products. A complete rainbow from 2019 Topps Chrome would include:

Base card Refractor Prism Refractor Sepia Refractor Pink Refractor Negative Refractor Purple Refractor (serial-numbered xxx/299) Blue Refractor (/150) Green Refractor (/99) Green Wave (/99)

https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 11/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark Blue Wave (/75) Gold Wave (/50) Orange Refractor (/25) Orange Wave (/25) Red Refractor (/5) Red Wave (/5) Superfractor (/1) Printing Plates (/1)

If a player also has an autographed version of a card in a set, the autograph often has similar parallels, meaning some rainbows need a lot of cards (and luck) to be completed. Some collectors will also combine the regular series (also called paper versions) with the Chrome series to create an even larger rainbow. The regular series for 2019 Topps has 14 parallel versions, leaving a completed non-autograph paper and Chrome rainbow to include 32 different parallels of the same card (38 if you try to get all four printing plates from both paper and Chrome).

While rainbow is more a modern term, the idea of collecting parallels has been around for many years. In 1975, Topps produced a mini version of its set; in the 1980s, multiple brands began to produce Glossy or Tiffany parallels to mimic the regular issues; and into the 1990s and 2000s, certain companies began making multiple colored parallels of every card in various sets. Completed rainbows can be one of the most aesthetically appealing displays, and there is even a fairly large Facebook group dedicated to the chase.

Probably the most complicated rainbow to complete came from 2000 Pacific Prisms, a higher-end set that included a number of parallels, some of which are so close in design, it's impossible to know the difference if you aren't educated on the set. To see what I mean, click here.

A graded 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle baseball card. In poor condition, the card would command thousands of dollars at auction because it is one of Mantle's rarest cards.

Vintage Collecting Other collectors choose to keep collecting a lot more simplistic, and focus only on vintage cards (commonly referred to as cards from 1979 and older, though definitions vary individually). Vintage collecting combines set building, player collecting, and team collecting all into one category, but those who strictly deal with vintage cards don't have to worry about getting 30-some-odd variations of the same card. They just try to find an example of the card they want in the best condition possible.

Vintage baseball cards are treasured by many collectors today. For some, because they've been able to reacquire cards they possessed when younger, and for others, because the history and legends of the game are all they care about. Collectors of vintage cards, however, do need to be aware of counterfeits, which is why grading has become of such importance to vintage collectors.

Because an authentic 1950s card of, say, Mickey Mantle can fetch thousands of dollars at an auction, some scrupulous con artists may try to pass a reprint or fake card as authentic to try to rake in the profits. For this reason, many collectors won't purchase the most expensive vintage cards available unless they are graded by https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 12/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark reputable companies such as PSA or BGS (in fact, eBay won't even allow sales of a Michael Jordan basketball rookie card unless it has third-party authentication). The old adage reigns true here—if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Some would argue grading has hindered the hobby more than it has helped (and in some cases, I'd agree), but when it comes to authenticating vintage cards, grading is crucial for the most popular cards, as even a poorly graded example can bring in plenty of value, simply because it is genuine.

How to Get Baseball Cards

In days gone by, buying baseball cards at a retail store, local card shop, or card show were about the only ways to acquire a collection. But with the rise of the internet came a rise in ways to build a collection, as well as changes in the traditional ways of purchasing. Here are some other ways to obtain baseball cards:

Trading Stores and Shows Online Buying and Selling Box Breaking

Trading Trading was at the forefront of everyone's mind when baseball cards became a mainstream hobby. Led by the production of Topps starting in 1948, baseball card collectors had limited options until the 1980s (from 1956- 1980, Topps was the only major licensed brand). With packs costing as little as a nickel, youngsters would often trade cards with friends to complete sets or get the players they liked best. Trading today is slightly more complicated, given the many types of baseball cards now available, but remains one of the premier ways to build a collection.

Of course, there are still opportunities to do old-fashioned trades in person (usually at local card stores or card shows), but most trading of baseball cards is now done online. While eBay is a great resource for buying and selling cards, many more sites offer the opportunity to trade cards by sending another person a package through the mail. Obviously, any new collector should do some due diligence on the best places to trade, as not to get scammed, but many websites specifically created for trading baseball cards have safeguards in place to keep its users from bad transactions. Keep in mind, as a new collector, you may be required to send first when trading to establish a reputation. Personally, I have been involved with buying, selling, and trading baseball cards online since 2001, and I have never had a bad experience (I consider myself lucky, considering I've had thousands of transactions). Some platforms I like to use for trading include:

Many other collecting forums exist, as do other niche Facebook groups and social media pages. The best thing to watch for is a list of comprehensive rules, as that usually means the group or website has some sort of reputation and following. If dealing on Facebook, a great group to consider joining is Sportscard Scammers https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 13/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark Exposed, as it provides a documented list of known scammers. Many collectors also host personal blogs and will trade with other card bloggers.

Stores and Shows Retail stores—most notably Wal-Mart and Target—each carry a wide selection of baseball cards, with companies offering retail-exclusive cards as a way of driving sales. Arguably the most popular retail-exclusive product in today's market is the Bowman Mega Box, which offer cards of top prospects and the chance to find rare autographs of up-and-coming players (prospecting, as it's called, is very popular among people investing money into cards hoping to find cards that will skyrocket in value later when the player becomes an MLB star). The boxes are only found at Target, and when it is first released, collectors often scoop up the entire display as soon as the shelves are stocked.

Common products found in retail stores include blaster boxes, rack packs, and single packs. But like the online trading community, a handful of bad apples also infiltrate retail stores. Some individuals will open blaster boxes and return them with the best cards removed. The same can happen with single packs that have been resealed. Worst of all, however, is pack searchers. These individuals have techniques that allow them to fairly accurately guess which packs have relic cards or autograph cards, and they will purchase those and leave the rest for unsuspecting buyers. If you ever see someone actively searching or weighing packs in a retail store, you should report the activity to the store management immediately.

Local card stores are not as prevalent as they once were—many focus more on gaming cards like Magic nowadays—but there are still true sports card stores out there. There is not a store close to where I live, but I still look for shops any time I am out traveling.

The same can be said for local card shows. The Beckett price guide used to have a lengthy calendar listing in every month's magazine that showed multiple shows every weekend, but now there are only select shows, and they aren't held as frequently. By far the biggest show each year is the National Sports Card Collectors Convention, which rotates between Cleveland, Chicago, and Atlantic City. Outside of searching Facebook, show listings can also be found at these websites:

Lastly, cards can often be found at flea markets or antique malls. Many deals can be found on bulk purchases at these venues.

Online Buying and Selling Cards are often bought and sold at all the aforementioned links, but there are plenty of other online avenues for buying baseball cards. Most notably is eBay, where hundreds of thousands of cards are listed on a daily basis. Other notable online resources for buying and selling individual cards include:

Check Out My Cards SportLots Beckett Marketplace

The Facebook marketplace often has cards for sale, as well, and while many of those individuals overvalue their collections, it's still a good place to check periodically. Cards can also be purchased on Amazon, and https://hobbylark.com/collecting/How-to-collect-baseball-cards-a-beginners-guide 14/16 5/22/2020 A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading Baseball Cards | HobbyLark through card dealers' online stores. Possibly the best place to buy unopened packs and boxes online, however, is from Blowout Cards, which has a vast selection of cards and often runs specials.

Box Breaking A gamble, box breaking can be a fun way to add cards to your collection. In a box break, the breaker will open a box or case of baseball cards on a live stream. In advance of opening the box, the breaker will sell teams, players or divisions for set prices, and if you buy in, you get the cards pulled for the team, player or division you purchased. Some breakers ship all cards, while some only ship "hits," which include parallels, inserts, relics, and autographs. Basically, a box break allows you the chance to get a rare card for cheap, but it also could leave you spending money and receiving nothing.

Finding a reputable breaker can be a difficult process, as many have been called out for scamming. I do not regularly partake in box breaks, but I can recommend a legitimate breaker in John Anthony at Sports Card Investors. My best advice is to watch multiple previous videos done by a specific breaker before joining one of their breaks. If anything strikes you are uncomfortable or out of place, be it video angle, how they open and handle cards, etc., it's best to find a different breaker. Always keep in mind: Even a reputable breaker can go rogue at any time, so there is always a risk. But as long as you're careful, box breaks can be a very fun way to add to your collection.

Start Your Own Collection

While there is so much more I could go over in this article, you should now have a good foundation for building your baseball card collection. I hope you find as much joy in this hobby as I have for the past almost 30 years. From sorting and learning statistics as a kid to working on player collections today, this hobby has always been a part of my life. Sometimes, it is more prevalent than other times, but at the end of the day, the cards are always there on my desk.

Keep in mind, this is as much a business as it is a hobby, and some people treat it exclusively as a business. Personally, I have a solid balance between hobby and business, but some business dealers are all business. That may ruin it for some, but don't let it keep you from collecting. There is always someone else to buy from or trade with.
