NBA Players Sue Over Being Traded
Posted Aug 28th 2009 1:40PM by TMZ Staff
NBA star Tracy McGrady's autograph is over 16x more valuable than fellow baller Deandre Jordan's -- this courtesy of a lawsuit filed against a trading card company.
Nine NBAers -- McGrady, Jordan, Brandon Roy, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, D.J. Augustin, T.J. Ford, Antawn Jamison, Anthony Randolph and DeAndre Jordan -- are suing Topps, claiming they were all only partially paid for their autograph deals.
The most interesting part ... how much Topps paid per autograph.
McGrady -- $50
Rose -- $25
Roy -- $18
Westbrook -- $10
Jamison -- $10
Ausgustin -- $8
Randolph -- $7
Ford -- $6
D. Jordan -- $3
All nine combined are suing for $300,000.

i agree, it's neat to know how much the card company paid for each - i would like to compare the "quality" of signature of the lower paid players vs. the higher paid...scribble scrabble or not?

OP said:
"Nine NBAers -- McGrady, Jordan, Brandon Roy, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, D.J. Augustin, T.J. Ford, Antawn Jamison, Anthony Randolph and DeAndre Jordan -- are suing Topps, claiming they were all only partially paid for their autograph deals."
obviously that could lead some (and it did) to think that maybe Michael Jordan was a 3.00 autograph
the OP corrected the list and added Deandre to "Jordan"
This is going to get interesting.

PURE Speculation by me:
The players - and their lawyers - should have READ the
contracts, before they signed them.
TOPPS' claim that NO breach has ocurred will likely prevail.
