Recent posts about and around TV images
Sorry to chime in so late, I was away for a bit for the holiday...
There has been a great deal of discussion during the past few days about Topps Vault images, especially those older images which do not bear a Topps watermark. John (Baseball-Birthdays) has nicely summarized the OOTP position on sharing Topps Vault photos. The private message John quoted above, which I sent, articulates my/OOTP's position on the issue. It bears repeating:
"Essentially, if it has a watermark, and it is a rare/useful photo, post it. Discretion is the key here; we don't want to flood the forum with 23 more Don Sutton/Dodgers photos. If it is one of the older TV images that doesn't have a watermark, please don't post it here. If you have an image with a watermark, please don't crop out the watermark (...) The only exception here is to post a 180x270 or smaller head shot." (emphasis John's but I concur)
To put it plainly, OOTP is not the place to share or otherwise post older, unwatermarked TV images. This is not meant to single anyone out, it is simply a community guideline that we all must follow. If anyone has a question about whether an image is suitable to post, please PM me. I'm happy to help.
I hope this puts the question to rest and we can all go back to sharing and enjoying baseball photos.
