Wow, as if coming after you will make their 💩 sets any better?
The fans that are done with them are done, gpk is dead and ain’t coming back.
Os is all they had, and they screwed the artists over to even get that done.
No low is low enough for these corporate pricks

Just the fact that topps has the nerve to put "success and fame" along with "The Garbage Pail Kids Movie" in the same sentence should be grounds to throw this case out. Additionally the irony that topps is complaining about anyone diluting the brand, especially Luis, boggles my mind and makes me think this lawsuit is some kind of sick joke. This POS isn't diluting the brand apparently  But this is  Let me unequivocally state for the record there has been absolutely no confusion about the swill that topps puts out vs what Diaz puts out. |

This lawsuit is definitely a head scratcher. What does Topps think they are going to get from this? They definitely aren't going to get money. They are almost certainly going to lose money in this case due to legal costs.
I think they may be doing this so they can use Luis to set a precedent. If they are successful they'll use this outcome to try and shut down all of the people doing stuff on their own. So this case could be more damaging than just trying to shut down one artist.

Luis, I think one place to hit back at them is their insistence that your products are going to confuse customers; that is, that someone will buy your product thinking that it's official GPK. Variations on the word "confuse" show up 16 times in the document, and that's the way they're making the case that you're taking potential sales from them. IANAL, but it would make sense to me to make a point of saying that your products weren't sold in big box or hobby stores; if you had language on your online store disclaiming that the cards weren't made by Topps, that would be relevant, as well as where you marketed them (such as here, where those in the hobby know the difference).

I always thought your post-Topps work was a parody of Garbage a Pail Kids, thus a parody of a parody! Aren’t there parody laws protecting us? You paid taxes on this stuff, and none of it was sold retail or in stores, it was just online private orders between friends! We aren’t your customers, we are your GPK brothers and your friends!! How is any of this illegal?  !!!! All the people that bought from you were UG members, we are in the same circle! |

Some of you know that I’m getting sued by The Topps Company, a former client. It’s been a rough couple of months for my family and as you can imagine. I made a gofundme campaign if you feel like donating. Anything will help. It would also help of you can spread our story. I’m lucky to have good people on our side and feel confident, but there are things that are out of our control right now. I will be sending a limited edition signed and numbered trading card to everyone that donates to the campaign or through paypal. Please send me your address once it goes through. Thank you for being there with us. Here is the link: www.gofundme.com/luis-liza-family-relief-fund |

Finally. Could use a new Topps Sucks card to commemorate the occasion. |

Despite speculation in the article I doubt it was super favorable for topps. I feel like this was supposed to make an example of Diaz and it doesn’t exactly feel like that to me, it feels more like topps trying to be a bully. If it really was favorable for topps i think we will see more lawsuits in the future?

Wow, I was completely unaware that this happened. Diaz is the best artist that Topps had post OS and they only attacked him because they knew people would rather buy his art compared to the other garbage they've produced. Quantity not quality is Topps current motto.
Sorry, I know this is old news but sucks to read.

But careful voicing your opinion, people tend to get butt hurt if you dare say anything negative about art quality. Makes ya wonder who put habanero sauce in these people's douche bottle when they start crying. |

I got peer pressured into doing it by my high school math teacher and I had to have my rectum replaced. Thank God there was a donor, most people aren't so lucky. |
