Unless that type of scan is already accessible, that would require the cooperation of the owner of the card, presumably.

The inquiry into a better resolution scan of McCreachery has been made, but logistics will not allow for a quick turnaround.

Straying a bit off topic, I find the evolution of the negative to be impressive. Not only did "DETROIT" disappear off the jersey but the pin stripes were drawn back in to improve the appearance post "DETROIT" removal. This extends throughout the whole shirt. Somehow, Getzien looks heavier in the 1889 rendition.
