    Best way to find an old wire photo

    Where do you go to find an old wire photo? Specifically I am looking for a photo of Mickey Mantle leaving home plate with his head down and throwing his batting helmet toward the camera. I believe the photo was taken in 1964 or 1965.

    Doesn't matter if it is an original or a copy.

    Thanks for your help,

    Bryan

    That's a well know photo. I've seen originals in various auctions, but have never owned one. When you say copy, do you mean printed of the internet, or a quality copy of an original. The former shouldn't be difficult, but the later may be tougher in that you need to find someone who has an original. Sorry I wasn't much help.

      By copy I meant reproduction of the original. I've always liked that photo but have never seen one up for sale. Maybe I need to look harder.

      Thanks anyways,

        Are you talking about Getty Image #50568603?

        If so, there is a thread about buying Getty prints in the For Sale section.
