rights to use of vintage photographs?

Posted By: davidcycleback

I don't know what yearbooks you are talking about, but copyrights might be being broken. Again, it would be up to the copyrights holder to bring a copyrights suit. Topps could sue unauthorized reprinters on eBay, though I'm not aware they have. You or I could not bring this copyright suit as we don't hold the rights.

eBay generally frowns upon unauthorized knockoffs and copyright infringement, so that could be an angle used to try and remove those homemade 1952 Topps Mickey Mantles and such. These unlicensed homemade reprints shouldn't being offered on eBay at all. It doesn't matter that a seller correctly identifies a card as a reprint.
