Todd SchultzBarry, I believe Ted's topics would be of substantial interest to aspiring lawyers or talent agents, although other than factual distinctions, it looks like the same issue repackaged over time. The rights to protect and control the use of one's image seems germane and important to professions where these people may be working one day. I do not know the level of audience sophistication or what depth Joann would care to provide, but I don't think Ted's ideas are off base.
Bob, your question was directed to Joann, but I believe you would have a cause of action under the facts of your scenario, although the practical obstacles outlined by others may prove it unwise to proceed, and specific performance will not be available if the cards in fact are now gone from this seller.
