Foster's Imaginary buttons - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Found this set on eBay not too long ago:

Each one measures about 1.5 inches in diameter. Good quality, too, and cheap; including shipping, I paid maybe $5.00 total. Snapped 'em up without stopping to think about it.

Note that these are not "official" Foster's merchandise, which is why this thread is down here instead of in the Company Store section. You can tell they're not "official" because the set includes Frankie, Madame Foster, and Mr. Herriman, and there's no sign of Cheese anywhere.

Isn't this kinda like bootlegging considering they're profiting off of Foster's?

Rofl, too true. Why they ignore the other characters but use Cheese a lot? I don't get the logic, if there's any to it.

They probably used the high-quality images from my clipart section, and I don't have one of Cheese. If they did use my images, that would be why there's no Cheese.

I don't care; I have a Frankie button.

Please never post a Cheese pic there, then. Or Goo.

You know, anybody can make copyrighted items on Cafepress. Go there, upload the image, order the item IMMEDIATELY, and it will be printed and shipped before anyone can even catch it. It works every time. The only time I got caught before I could order was when my connection was bad and I went to bed after uploading the picture, planning on ordering the item the next morning.

LOL, You've got that right!

I've seen these pop up on eBay now and then. Wow, that's not a bad price at all for the quality (and size, I'd expect them to be smaller). Nice catch, Cass!
