Thanks for the responses everyone. We'll see how it turns out...
Marty-
I'll pretty much have to display slabs of some of my cards as I'll have a page on there for selling. I just know I'd have issues with buying a slabbed card if I couldn't see the slab first. Maybe I should do something like put a little signature or emblem over each of my scans...maybe that would be safest.
Question for any of the lawyers on the board...I'm sure this is written pretty straight forward, but I'm wanting to make sure, this is from the Library of Congress site concerning their images. So does this mean I could NOT use a scan from there on the website (even if I put a disclaimer on the site saying I don't own such and such card?)
