Re: Getty images
I'd seen his contact info posted on a number of message boards. How do you think I found out about his service? It was hardly a secret...he even had a website.I've been informed that this is the exact reason we have lost our source.....NiceGreg

Re: Getty images
Nice going, Greg!
Just kidding, dude.
Everybody knew about that guy. I never understood how he got away with it for so long but I definitely took advantage of his services a few times. Hate to see the wheels come off of that gravy train but it was bound to happen.

Re: Getty images
The bottom line is there would be no need for under-the-table photo sellers if Getty's prices were anywhere near realistic.

Re: Getty images
I think that the issue is that Getty et al, are not for people like us.
If you were Time Magazine and were doing a story on Arod, you'd be ok paying $300 for a pic.
Getty doesnt understand that game used collectors use Getty for photo matching. They interpret our desire for pics as a way to profit off of their images, like a magazine would.
Once they realize that they are leaving money on the table by pricing us out of the picture (no pun intended), they may change their mind.
