I know relatively little about the field but I do know that under the doctrine of fair [permissible] use, you can reproduce a copyrighted image in a reference book without payment or releases from the copyright owner. Otherwise, you would never have any reference books created in any artistic field because it would be impossible to secure the rights needed for the work. Heck, you could not even create an auction catalogue if you had to get releases to reproduce all of the images on the cards.
