I really doubt you took that photo yourself. You've posted it several times.
I work as a photographer and I don't support, unauthorized use of images, or theft and used for profit, but...
Under fair use, another author may make limited use of the original author's work without asking permission. Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1986 (17 U.S. Code § 107) states that fair use of copyrighted material "for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."
I might be wrong, but we are dealing with "editorial comment" in this use, where the image is used as an illustration of some kind of convention, that tables and dealers. No one is getting a fee, profiting, or re-selling the image. Who is the original author of the image? Is it registered or is it Creative Commons (in which case, like Chipguide, the authors name must be included for the free license to apply). Is it public domain?
The source of this image, is difficult to pinpoint. I suspect a Fun Coin show, but maybe not?
