What year is the team? Team photos came in a variety of sizes, so you can take a pick. For an example 11x14 inches is a standard modern photo paper size and is nice for display. 16x20 is another modern standard size. Some old team photos are smaller than 8x10." The famed 1887 Joseph Hall team cabinets are smaller than 8x10, but I've seen 1800s team photos both much smaller and as big as 20x20. If the reproduction is too large, you might lose some detail.

Have it reproduced in color, even if it's a black and white photo. It will look much nicer. Even old black and white photos have some tones and color to them which you want to preserve. Obviously 1800s photo are sepia. If you print it in black and white it won't look right.

Most old baseball photos have a gloss (1800s less so), but, as with size you can pick whichever you want if it's for your own display purposes. If you're doing this photographically, most modern photos are glossy as well. I have matte digital photos that look nice.
