jimi am a graphic designer and work in a print shop. i was approached to make replicas from original cards including ty cobb, joe jackson and some others. i know nothing of cards. the customer is eager to pay a great deal to get this job done.
i asked if he was going to sell these cause i thought it might be illegal and he said he wouldn't. i'm just curious if it is in fact against the law and if there is a market for these.
i was also thinking of inserting a replica watermark in the margin or image. i have already scanned these images to an extremely high quality res. and printed out one and it looks almost flawless. i am researching papers now and don't want to go further until i can learn more about the law.
any info would be helpful,
thanks
