1970-71 Dayton Daily News (M137) Multi-Sport Forum

Found that the Dayton Daily News is available on newspapers.com and I can clip and upload the 'Bubble-Gumless Cards' IF it is permissible and wanted to use those images instead of the actual cards

Only if you can guarantee they are scans.

Be on the lookout for the watermark on the images.

what guarantee is needed?

i would be clipping them from the Dayton Daily News on newspapers.com

why would there be a watermark if the images were clipped from the Dayton Daily News on newspapers.com? 

He's asking if the papers were scanned in or were photographs taken of them (like they were laid out on a table or desk and someone snapped pics from high up). If it's the former, they're allowed, but as long as no watermark was added over the images anywhere (like you see on COMC).

Because newspapers.com scatters little capital 'N' watermarks all throughout their images.  They are subtle, but if you look, you will find them.

Most of their papers are scanned from microfilm, so they are defintely scans, but they'll all be in grayscale because there wasn't any color microfilm back then (doubt there is now).  There are clearly a few already in the system.  Using these scans means you won't be able to get an accurate back image but those aren't all that useful for this set, anyway.
