For those who picture 1955 Bowmans or that Mickey Mantle postcard on their webpage or in an aricle for Beckett, realize that there is a rule of fair use. If you have an informational page or article, it is considered fair use to to show an example or examples of what you writing about. As opposed to if you are going to make your own Mickey Mantle/New York Yankee T-shirts to sell outside Yankee stadium

And, if there is a the unlikely objection by the Mantle Family or Yankees Organization to you posting of an image on you Mickey Mantle Fan Site, the objection will almost always simply be a request that you remove the image.

In short, how and in what context you intend to use an image is as important as whether or not you own the copyrights to the image.
