Also there is thought that Gum Inc actually did produce cards into 1942 and that is why some 1941 Play Ball cards can be found with and without 1941 copyrights on the first series cards, and potentially making the second series cards a 1942 production.

It depends on what state he's in. For instance, I live in Massachusetts where the right of publicity is murky at best. Some states it is clearly defined and others there are no rights of publicity after the person has died.
Anyway, I like the idea that this could invoke younger generations to get interested in Baseball and collect cards. I wouldve loved to have seen what Gum, Inc had in the works for other sports stars in Football, Golf, Boxing and Tennis, especially if they were sticking to their 1941 models. I always wondered if they had some mock-ups stashed away at the printer or George Moll's Ad Agency or something? This is pretty neat.
