TCMA "The 1930's" & Glass Plate Negatives

[TCMA]

As a teaser, here is one of the glass plate negatives and a positive image which I simply inverted the colors on. Should provide a pretty good idea of the potential here. Of course, a scanned image handled by the pros would be even better than this.

Hal Schumacher and Lefty Gomez during the 1936 World Series:

Cool plates. Have you looked into the cost of the MLB licensing fee?

These would be produced through Photo File, who has the licensing.

..I'd love to see a version of those gorgeous pictures printed with a narrow white border so us centering weenies would have something to agonize over and kvetch about..


..

..sort of similar to the 1930's Gold Medal Wheaties or Worch Cigar style , as an optional design and size...good luck with this ; fascinating concept : new old cards !

Thanks for the input! Definitely, I would want them to be bordered but I think we're going to have to stick to standard sizes due to licensing restrictions. Even 5x7's might be pushing it. Project would have to be approved by MLB, so we'll see what they come back with once we're ready to move forward.
