One typically does not think of Idaho as a haven for bohemians and liberalism, but then again, now many people are familiar with Safari Pearl? You will be after you read THIS about co-owner Kathy Sprague and a comic store/costume shop that's also a food pantry (and home of Elise the dog).

When one-cent baseball cards set legal precedent

 



Fancy people call it [Haelan Laboratories, Inc. v. Topps Chewing Gum, Inc, 202 F.2d 866 (2nd Cir. 1953)], but to many it's just "The Halelan Labs decision." It's all about how penny packs of baseball cards CREATED the right of publicity precedent, and YOU can read all about it in the Oct-Nov 2021 issue of Beckett Vintage Collector, available in print and at Pocketmags.
