Newbie here, what are good sites to search for images to photomatch?

I mostly collect Bama stuff, and just got several more Bama game used jerseys in. I currently use getty, uspresswire. What are some other sites I can use to help photomatch? I need to be able to search back at least 4-5 years. I have noticed on several of the sites they won't let me search back that far. Thanks in advance, John

Re: Consolidated list of photo match websites

Has anyone paid the $75 for wire image full access, are you able to get high res pictures and download them for this without watermarks, from what I can tell you do but wondering about anyone's experience. Thanks

Yes you can download full sized images without the watermarks. I believe they come out as 800x600 images, but you can re-size the a little bigger if needed after you download them. I think the biggest I could make an image was up to 1000xXYZ before they became grainy.

They do charge you an additional fee for downloads tough. That price depends on your usage for the image.

Re: Consolidated list of photo match websites

Alright I know we have all posted sites here and there but thought it wouldn't hurt to start a thread for everyone to post good sites for matching. I'll start:

Getty Images
Corbis
AP Images
Daylife
Flickr
Photobucket
Sports Illustrated Images

I'll add to those and I think they are linked so you can click on them....

Re: A great new resource for photomatching

Thanks Kyle. Its a great site and he's a great SI photographer,so $350 to own,outright one of his photos is arguably fair. Does he know how to take a bad photo(Henderson with the base raised to the sky,Bo Jackson cracking the bat over his knee,etc)? By the way,his 1990 photos of the SF Giants wearing vintage NY Giants jerseys has me asking,does anyone have one for sale?

Re: A great new resource for photomatching

Nevermind about "buying images". You gotta buy the rights to the photo as well, which I just checked and the cheapest I could find is $350 lol....well atleast his image previews are decently sized for photomatching

A great new resource for photomatching

By far one of the best sports photographers IMO, Brad Mangin, has a website where you can search and buy images:
