Looking for hi-res images of either of these two pics, to create a print for my own personal use. The B&W one is on the AP editorial images site, but I've never been able to get them to sell me a print copy of anything in the editorial area.

This is a 1924 pic of him as a manager. I need it because of the sweater. These images will suffice if necessary.

They look incredible. There is never a need to buy repro prints if you have a hi-res image. If you cannot do it, I will create a print for you. I have all sorts of good photo paper.

Michael,
As Scott stated, you can get great photos off the web quite easily. whether they print nicely is as much a function of the size you wish to print as it is the size of the photo. Most photos you will find on the net that would be shown in a "large" google search should print 8x10 very nicely.

The image of Cobb I used in this piece I got off the internet and printed at home

View the image at 'actual size'. Then reduce it to the size you want to print. If you are happy, then print it. A massive scan of a bad photo is worthless.
