Do any of the lawyers here know what the copyright laws are with regard to out of print publications?

Sadly it doesn't require a lawyer. Out of print, in print it's mostly still under copyright. Of course, for some of those publications getting permission would be pretty easy. SCD is pretty much the only one that would really cost, and stuff like - I think Ive got it right- "current card prices" which was put out by legal action by Beckett. That one might be problematic.
I have a bunch of old stuff, not as impressive a collection, but I could do some scanning.
I also have a bit of a collection of hobby supplies. Various pages etc going back to 1974.
