Censorship fail

From 1994 to 1999, the Travis Carter Enterprises Cup team was sponsored by Camel (94-97) and later Winston (98-99). 

It was sometimes censored on cards, with no apparent rhyme or reason as the cards were both real and censored from the same companies. 

I just got this die cut insert from 1999 Wheels, where the Winston sponsorship was censored off the sides of the car, and Jimmy's shirt...but not his hat. Nor the Winston Cup logo, which usually never got censored even on otherwise censored cards.  Even though the No Bull logo was heavily tied into the Winston campaign, it remained uncensored. 


Censorship is dumb.

Looks like Upper Deck is doing a little censoring

I'm finally getting my monthly update done for Cardboard History Gallery, and I discovered something...Upper Deck censored a card. How do I know this? Because Panini used the exact same image on their sticker set, WITHOUT censoring it!


It's pretty obvious that the Coors logo has been censored out. Not only that, but they added fake scuffs to the boards to hide it.

Not that it really matters, though I am disappointed by it. I find the censorship of alcohol logos moronic actually, and it has severely impacted NASCAR cards. Now I see it's affecting hockey as well...a shame.

I don't remember when I scanned the Panini sticker, but I just scanned the Upper Deck card in December. Both are 2018-19 releases.
