Upper Deck WILL have 2010 baseball cards

I see in the Sept. 4 SCD that Upper Deck recently renewed their baseball card license with the MLBPA (players' union) and UD mucky-mucks promise they'll be back with the usual autographs, game-used, etc.
Since UD can't picture team logos (because Topps has the exclusive with MLB Properties) in 2010, do you think we'll be seeing the cap-less closeups so ubiquitous circa the early 1960s, or the airbrushed photos of the late Sixties?

Speaking of those ubiquitous MSA sets of the 1970s and 80s, it begs the question: what happened to Michael Schechter? Did he retire or was he pushed away? His cards were all over the place between 1986 and around 1990.

Interesting question about Michael Schechter Associates. My best guess would be that by the early- mid-1990s the union got too full of themselves and wanted way too much money to license a set at a time when the sponsors were finding out the cards probably weren't really helping sales.
