Who own the copyright of t205 images?
I am thinking to put together a website of T205s and I certainly don't want to get in trouble of getting sue showing any copyrighted images. I wonder who own the copyright of those images of T205s?
Also, if someone own a T205 miscut piedmont back, does that collector own the copyright of the image of that miscut image? |

My main question is for those people who own those PSA10 t205 or t205 errors, do they actually own the image copyright of his cards?

I don’t think that copyright is the correct legal principal. I think the issue is can you publish an image of someone’s personal property without their permission. Rather then thinking of the image I think you need to think of the singular object. I would tend to think that you could not publish it without permission.

You should figure out who can create NFTs of high grade vintage cards! Ca-ching!

There is case law on this -- Bridgeman Art Library vs. Corel (1999) "ruled that exact photographic copies of public domain images could not be protected by copyright in the United States because the copies lack originality." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge..._v._Corel_Corp.)
Miscuts, variations, etc., were still published, and are thus in the public domain. Unpublished material can be a whole other ball of wax, if IP ownership has been carefully managed, as with a few long-term literary estates. (I am not a lawyer so don't depend on my info for your legal cases, please.) If you're making an image of a slabbed card -- photo or scan, doesn't matter -- you'd have a better argument that it is a unique, copyright-able work, since the presence of the card's unique ID # etc. make it more than an exact copy of a public domain image. All that said, it would still be wise and polite to get permission. Last edited by dbrown; 04-18-2021 at 12:40 PM. |

thx for the info. it would be tough for me to seek for permission from the owners of those cards. I am just trying to share all those t205 oddities images that I have collected from the internet for the past 25+ yrs. I just hope no one would mind me sharing their precious t205 collection with others, that's all. |

Newspapers publish social media posts they pull from people all the time. I think you just need to credit the source.

Use a picture showing the card, NOT the slab, not the slip.

I can only speak for myself here as a publisher, but there is an exemption for copywritten material and images if the material used is for educational purposes. In the case of subjects of the T205 set, they all granted access to use their image and are now in the public domain. With that said, I cant say the same for the T207 set, or all sets.

I would have thought most pre war sets images would be public domain by now. And any chance to show Cobby...

Works published or registered before January 1, 1978, had a maximum of 95 years of copyright protection -- so anything published before 4/23/26 (as of today) should be public domain. The copyright owner had to renew their copyright to get that maximum benefit, though, so with research one could find plenty of things published after 1926 that crossed into the public domain.
The initial copyright term was 28 years, so anything that wasn't renewed became p.d. long ago. https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ01.pdf Copyright law changed significantly around 1978. |

Allow me to clarify this for everyone.
The issue isn't the item being photographed, but the photograph itself. Copyright for any photo are owned by the person who took the photo. If I took a picture of an 1888 card, I would own the copyright. It doesn't matter who owns the original card or any original image when the card was produced. It's perfectly legal to take a picture of a 2021 Topps card and publish it. As long as your not claiming original source material the copyright for the picture belongs to you. The only time such matters might come into question is if you were to use the image for marketing use. There's some grey area there. Bottom line, if you want to grab a picture of a card off eBay or someone's website, better get approval from them. |

Here is my thought... there is a website documenting all known T206 Honus Wagners. How is that site creator able to do it?
