Elliott Service Company Posters???

[Hankphenom]

I've always thought these were the biggest bargains in the hobby, great display pieces with fabulous images. I have a bunch of "Associated News Service" posters, published by Elliot News Service, with two holes in the top to fit some kind of display device, probably at news stands. I also have Elliot News Service poster of the 1924 and 1925 Washington pennant winners with ads for Mazda auto lamps. Over the years, I've seen numerous other brands with different format news posters, including a panorama-style poster for the 1924 World Series by "Fotoform News." I'd love to include the pictures I've taken of these, but the Net54 attachment program will never allow those taken by my camera to upload. They are JPGs of 3.65 MB, too big, perhaps? Copy and paste doesn't work, either.

Hank, there are numerous online image resizers. Easy to google them. What I do though if I have a pic that is too big I just load it up on my facebook page and then save the image to my computer. Facebook I've found automatically reduces the file size of photos.

Thanks, guys. Dan, do you know offhand if you can post photos on FB without them appearing on your timeline or news feed? And Rob, I just get an "upload failed" message from Net54 when I browse my pictures file and click on one I want to attach to my post. I will get on the Google machine and see about resizing the photos, I guess the idea is to make them smaller than the Net54 maximum size before I try to post them?

Hank, it will show on your timeline, but I usually just post them, then save them to my computer, then delete them off of facebook. Takes less than a minute.

But that way wouldn't my FB friends see these on the news feed, which I wouldn't want? I'll try to figure out how to resize them myself.

Hi-
I resize my photos and scans right on my computer. I right click on the image and choose edit. In the photo editor that pops up, I click on resize and I resize by percentage. Depending on how big the image is I typically resize at least 50% and sometimes down to 20% to ensure it fits into Net54.

On another note, I love these display photos and (shameless plug alert) LOTG has a bunch of mine that should make their way into auctions over the next year or so. All of the ones I consigned were sports related, and include some really cool images of HOFers and in action sports (baseball and football primarily) from the early 1940s (all with paper war bond labels).

Couldn't get it to work. I tried resizing to 20%, the upload still failed, and when I tried by pixels, the picture fuzzed up. Got to tell you this stuff really drives me crazy. Samsung camera, Compaq computer, not like I'm trying to do anything complicated. Downloading photos to my computer's a piece of cake, why isn't uploading to Net54 the same?

They might see it for a minute or so before you delete it. Sometimes I just leave the pics up on facebook and it starts a good conversation there too.

Hank sent me images of his news service photos. They are below. I really like the images on these. The panorama one is incredible!

Hank, I'm pretty sure Net54 does the resizing. I post multiple MB pictures on here all the time.
