James, speak to King; he has a bunch of them. I think they're very cool cards. |

Back in the 1980's quite a few of these cards were in circulation. Here is the only one |

I assume they were sent into the Patent Office to get the cards trade mark on the design. The Patent Office also gives trade marks and is officially called the US Patent and Trade Mark Office. The Patent Office would have required an example of the product or design art to be sent in to be inspected, registered and filed. They used to require a model of an invention be sent in before the inventor could get the patent, though they no longer do this. The Patent Office would require one example of the product or design, and I assume Goudey sent in only one of each card. |

The Pepper Martin card was probably sent to the US Library of Congress, not the Patent Office. The Library of Congress registered copyrights to books. Similar to the old Patent Office, the LOC would have required a physical copy of the 'book' be sent in before it was registered. |

Wouldn't the LOC maintain records today of what granted copyright protection to back in the 1930s? If so, has anyone thought of checking with the LOC to see if they were sent a Babe Ruth card with a calendar back in 1930? |

The LOC and Patent Office have the records all the way back, and the arey accessible to the public. A normal part of trying to get a patent, for example, is searching the records to see if your discovery was discovered before. |

All public records (models) were sold to the public back a few decades ago. The patent office no longer holds any models except for a few specific and important inventions in their museum. It is possible to look at the prosecution history of old cases (paperwork), but it's certainly not as simple as walking up to the PTO and asking to see the records. They are all stored in an underground vault in West Virginia (or so I've heard) and must be specially ordered. I was unable to view the records of a 1795 patent that I wanted to view a few years ago because they were "unavailable" (IE: Lost)... too bad, it was a cool patent too. |

To spell out my idea, Steve Verkman (or any other interested party) might investigate to see if there is a copyright/patent record from 1930 for a Goudey Babe Ruth card. If there is such a record, particularly if it provides an adequate description of the card (e.g., Ruth batting surrounded by stars on front, calendar on reverse), that might help authenticate it since it would prove Goudey did print such a card in 1930. It stands to reason that if Goudey sought copyright/patent protection for its 1933 cards, it may have sought the same protection for a card it issued three years earlier. |

James, I paid $400 for the card and the accompanying patent. I don't see much appeal in the patent without the accompanying card. |

I agree with frank - what's the appeal without the card itself? |
