Inbounds' Likeness Print of Gary Player

 

In 1993, Gary Player individually hand-signed and gifted 250 prints of his likeness to Inbounds, Inc. Inbounds designed and paid for these limited-edition prints which bear our trademarked slogan, "Play your game, live your life inbounds." (Note in bottom right-hand corner that Inbounds is also registered.) Mr. Player knew that the prints were to be owned exclusively by Inbounds, Inc. These were to be sold to raise funds to support our program that, among other services, taught character core values to youth through golf. According to court documents, "Mr. Player did not limit or restrict Inbounds' ability to sell or transfer the prints." In February 2009, the Gary Player Group blocked the sale of the prints that were listed on Ebay, claiming that sale of the prints was illegal and that the prints were misappropriations. However, in a deposition, Mr. Marc Player stated the signatures were authentic. Please see our blog, Did Gary Player Turn a Blind Eye to Justice? for full details.
