I have noticed that I haven't seen any food issues in a number of years. I think I recall something about licensing changes a few years back. Anybody know the full story?
I think MLB owns the trademark to the patches (logo) on the uniforms? so they have final say. And if I am not mistaking too a few years ago they quit authorizing anyone but Topps to produce cards with the MLB logo. That might be the issue.
