Finding Athele Photos

[Cmwill24]

I have seen several of you post successes where you sent an 8x10 TTM to get autographed. I have a few players that I would like to do that with, however I am wondering what is the best way to get good quality photos of athletes. Do you purchase them from a website like www.bestsportsphotos.com or is there a way to get them free online and then have them printed somewhere? I'm a student, so the most cost effective way is what I am looking to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Clayton

Wow...it would help if I spelled the title correctly. I meant to say "Finding Athlete Photos". Sorry.

you could just do a google search and use large or extra large images but they may be copy righted so youd have to print them yourself

use flickr to get large quality images to print out

it gets kind of dicey- as the guys above me said, if you have a decent printer and dont mind printing them yourself, just google for an image you like and print it. The issue is, almost all images online are technically copyrighted, and a lot of retail printing places wont print them. Making customs is another option- there are "a few" guys here who do really nice work, that may be an avenue to pursue as well

I hadn't seen that site before. It's a gold mine for smaller images perfect for customs! Thank you!

Flickr is way better for the average athlete. The xl photos are the way to go if you dont want a grainy 8x10

I use sams club and they are great. never had a problem. Just tell them you took it yourself and you are golden

Thanks everyone! Glad I could help you Rockies.

I got Staples to print out some regular pictures. They're a little annoying with the sizing. So take the pictures and put them how u want in a Word Document. Upload it to them online and then you get to choose all the specifics.
