Although I appreciate and understand the feeling of those that don't want their hard word copied by others, I feel the same as Chuck Nelson in this particular case. For one thing, it is not costing me any money out of my pocket and any time that might have be extended to produced these scans, comes out of a labor of love, not work.

As I have so stated in previous messages, I feel that since we are such a small group of people with common interest, I would be more than proud if someone were to think that my scans or thoughts were so good that he would want to use them for his personal benefit. Of course, my opinion comes from the prospect of a collector and not that of a dealer who is in the business of making money on his chips.

I don't feel I am in competition with anyone on this board and am willing as I think most people are, to share whatever knowledge I may have with others.

Although I have limited understanding of copyright laws, I assume that the usage of other peoples scans may be illegal, especially if permission was not previousely granted, but as Chuck has stated, anyone has permission to use any of my scans if he so wishes.
