He took a picture of the calender with his digital camera (who needs a scanner, anyway?) and then proceeded to digitally eliminate the crease mark."I have had quite a lot of practice at fixing images like this and am pretty picky about having a good finished product, so I am pretty sure whoever buys this will be happy."$45 including "free shipping" gets you a photoshop'd picture from a digital camera of artwork he has no legal right to copy and sell. ** expired/removed eBay auction **

I had scanned a counter sheet for a game and uploaded it to Boardgamegeek once, and boy the writer of the game reamed me out in an e-mail, but if I had taken a photo of the same counter sheet (and it was shown to be an obvious photo) there would have been no problem.

IMO, that is not a copyright problem, they are simply doing their best to replace destroyed or lost contents to provide a complete and playable item. I would equate this to selling a 2E box set with a photocopy of the Montrous Compendium pages (which are frequently missing).
TheMilford wrote:I dunno. He's asking $115 for the lot so I am assuming he's appealing to collectors... why then not just leave the repros out of the auction and ask a more reasonable price. It seems to me he's trying to get market value for an item that is incomplete and he's hoping his "replicates" "complete" the item...I don't like it.
