Default Buisness Cards

I am a produce grower and sell at Farmers Markets. One of the markets uses venders business cards in their advertising so I needed to get something made. This is what I came up with using a template from Staples. Wanted to make it like an old tobacco card with ballplayer on one side and advertisement on the other.

The only thing I would have liked to do differently was to put a red border around the Ted Williams picture on the back to make it look similar to the T210 cards. What do you all think?

I like it a lot. A red border would look awesome.

I think that the Williams estate would have an issue with you using the image in a commercial endeavor.

It is a business card I hand out for free I highly doubt the Williams estate will have a problem.

I can not imagine it being illegal but I am not a lawyer. We do have several on this forum. Any of you have thoughts on this?

If they are given away for free I too doubt there would be an issue. I am not a lawyer though.

I am a lawyer. I think it would look nice with a red border. Apart from that, I don't have any input into the actual legality of it as that is way outside my area of expertise.

I just saw this thread. I actually know something about this topic. In Florida and Louisiana the use of Williams' image could be actionable - the exact wording eludes me at the moment but I believe it is misappropriation of a likeness. However I doubt anyone is going to raise a fuss over it, or even know.
