Re: Selling Photocopies of Player Contract
I don't know about illegalities (though I did stay at a Holiday Inn once) but I wouldn't feel morally right about reproducing multiple copies of a private personal legal document for resale. That's just personal belief and others may feel differently.
It reminds me of a little over 20 years ago, and a buddy who used to go in with me on purchases and sales when I was an active dealer. A female family friend was a flight attendant on the Oakland Athletics' charter flight, and after the flight, found Jose Canseco left his paycheck on the plane. She photocopied it and gave copies to several friends including my buddy. Then out of nowhere, at the next show, my buddy sticks a stack of photocopies out on our table to sell. Once I noticed it, I strongly suggested that he remove them. Fortunately, he complied.
All told, it's something that, if I was the player and discovered this, I'd be calling my lawyer pronto.

Re: Selling Photocopies of Player Contract
Thanks Dave
The moral issue will probably be the second hurdle for me but I
really want to know if there are legal consequences.
Fleer auctioned off tons of cashed royalty checks, many with players
signature and banking information on it.
Any lawyers or anyone familiar with this sort of thing that can chime in?
