There is an old thread called "Frustrated by the Face Slap" that when you search for it now redirects to the front page. In it ADMIN outlines what images are legal or illegal to use. Basically if it is your own or from the public domain (ebay, sportlots, etc...somewhere that an item is being sold) the images are under fair use and can be used. If the images originate from a public blog they can be used with the blogger's permission. If they are on another trading card sites website or card companies website it is not legal to use. Perhaps when ADMIN sees this thread he can archive the old thread or his explanation from that thread can be posted.

I wouldn't be surprised if their card database schema is based off of TCDB too. It would be a big feat to have a schema that differs from TCDB and be able to match card images to the appropriate card. This would take more human interaction and less automation, which I don't think is the case here.
My guess is their bot recusively walks from Sport > Year > Set and grabs as much information as possible.

Interestingly, the owner's Facebook page, including a post where he is crowing about his big accomplishments, went from public to private last night.

Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized. |

I found my 2019 Flawless Archie Manning auto 2/3 on their website also. This is the only place I have ever scanned my cards to.

Admin did acknowledge my message so he's aware of the issue.

Tired and trembling I am descending, will I have to stay here and live this life again? |

Before we get too up in arms, let's not overlook the fact that we have point miners who do the same thing, stealing scans from other sites to add here, for those precious points.
-------------------------------
I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

We don't know how many of those sites have the same policy as here...
