Yeah, that heading is way too misleading. I was expecting to see that someonepaid WAY TOO much for something that is worth so little. I managed to duck the Mastro e-mail but clicked above. |

Copyrights to images is too complicated and boring a subject to cover here. |

DJ, the issue is who owns the rights to an image, and if and under what conditions a book publiser can reprint it. A magazine or wire service might own the rights to an particular image, and not the photographer. |

I bought a copy at the National and read through it and the bat book on the flight home. Due to sheer ignorance, I can't comment on whether they're good reference guides, but I'd strongly recommend the Fogel/Oser/Yee book for the terrific deadball era photos and its biographies of photographers like Conlon, Van Oeyen, Thompson, Brace, etc. |

I knew next to nothing about photographs so the book seemed very informative to me. I also read it on the flight home from the national. Is there something wrong with it? |

I was expressing surprise to see such an association (Mastronet/Yee), but I realize now that only the vintage photograph collectors would get it. |

I, too, picked this up at the National. It should be renamed as a guide to News Service Photos. It does not touch seriously on cabinets, CDVs, tintypes, ambrotypes, etc., etc. |

I think Scott was making reference to the fact that Henry has seemingly embellished some photo descriptions of things he has sold on ebay. I am not a photography person so can't comment on that. I will tell you that I sat right next to Henry Yee at dinner one night and he seems like a nice enough person. He has a pretty cute girlfriend too . I got the book and have read most of it and it has some great photo's and great info in it. It is heartily recommended for anyone that likes vintage baseball. I also smoked a few cigars with Marshall, after the dinner, and he was his normal polite self. As the trifacta I got all 3 of the authors autographs on the book I was given......maybe I should get it slabbed PSA/DNA....but then it would probably come back as fake auto's regards |

Mastronet often sells vintage photos by the photographers mentioned in this thread, as does Henry Yee. This is just new information to consider prior to bidding. |

I know relatively little about the field but I do know that under the doctrine of fair [permissible] use, you can reproduce a copyrighted image in a reference book without payment or releases from the copyright owner. Otherwise, you would never have any reference books created in any artistic field because it would be impossible to secure the rights needed for the work. Heck, you could not even create an auction catalogue if you had to get releases to reproduce all of the images on the cards. |

I hope this book doesn't lift my copyrighted and published research and writing on this subject. I published a booklet on news service photos (stamping charts, tags, etc), also available on my website (free to collectors and dealers to read and reference, not to publish in a book under their name) and gave complimentary copies to folks at MastroNet some years ago. No one at MastroNet knew that a UPI photo was modern until the booklet was published (UPI was formed in the 1950s), and had a vogue idea of which stamps showed a photo was old (ACME, International News, for examples). The information in the guide was not available before I published it. If MastroNet and the authors uses a large amount of material from my guide while taking credit for it, that would be an example of copyright infringment. |
