Re: Photo-matched items in your collection?

Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I happened to try using my account from a different computer and it wouldn't let me. Maybe it was a fluke but apparently they figured out a way to enforce their one account per person policy. That said, I wasn't too please with the size and quality of the pics. You really couldn't manipulate them in a way that would've provided decent details. Sorry about that to anyone who was interested.

BTW, the quality and size of the photos are very similar the AP. There's a college near me and their library computers are all linked up to the AP photo archive. Not surprisingly, it's a very large database. And it's free.

Re: Photo-matched items in your collection?

I collect mainly game used baseball bats. What I am trying to do is find pictures on the internet of players using the bat model in which I have and printing an 8x10 to display next to the bat I was wondering if you would be able to tell me what resolution and pixel size are nec. for pictures to be made into in-focus, non- grainy, quality 8x10 prints. I was hoping you were onto something with WireImage. I would save the pics to my computer and then burn them to disc and have them printed out using a Kodak Picture Maker or at Costco but I do not know if there pics would be the right size to do that properly. Any recommendations? Thanks so much- George

Re: Photo-matched items in your collection?

I know these players aren't as big as some of the players others have listed but I really enjoy trying to photo match all of my game used items. I have been able to photomatch 2 Justin Morneau jerseys to photos on Getty as well as a Jonathan Papelbon fielding glove to his Sarasota baseball card. A Jon Lester Fielding Glove to his JUST autographed card. Finally I have been able to photo match several Dustin Pedroia to his Portland Sea Dogs card including his batting helmet, jersey, pants and bat. Obviously the jersey, pants and helmet were easy because it was the only helmet and 1 of 2 home jerseys he used but I thought the bat was really exciting when it matched 1 of the 2 bats of his I have.
Thanks

Re: Photo-matched items in your collection?

Question - when you guys say photo matched are you saying that there is a pic that shows the same model or type or are you saying that the bat, jersey you have is EXACTLY the same one pictured?

Re: Photo-matched items in your collection?

It means the item in question is an EXACT match to a photo or baseball card etc. I have been extremely lucky matching several of my items to the exact items pictured in certain players baseball cards. Considering every player goes through dozens of bats each year I would have to say that the odds of matching a bat with the exact one being used in a baseball card is pretty tough but I have been lucky enough to do so.
