I need an 8x10 of a certain minor leaguer. Cooper Brannon to be exact. I do have a card of him, but I want an 8x10 signed. I prefer on photo paper to be preceise. I normally pay $5 each for my unsigned 8x10's on eBay. So I'll pay $8 (including shipping) to whoever wants to do this for me.
Please inquire here or via pm.
Thanks!

You know you can find a good digital shot of the player by searching google (images) and then taking the digital shot to rite aid and have them blow it up for an 8x10 ...

That's illegal by the way...and Wal*Mart will do that also.

Actually if it is on the web and the site has no copyrite it is not illegal. It has entered the public domain and can be used for anything.
A quick email to the page it is on asking for permission to use it will do.

So is photocopying pages out of a textbook, downloading mp3's, etc etc. It is the "right" thing to do to ask for permission, but neither store is going to stop you from making the print.

Best to start with a high-res scan of a baseball card or photo than something found on google. Internet images are low res, and when blown up to 8 x 10 size will look grainy, blurry, etc.

In the US, at least, works are automatically copyrighted by the creator when they are created, so unless someone has explicitly relinquished their copyright to a work and placed it in the public domain. No actual copyright notice is required and you can't assume it is public domain simply because it is on the web.

We have been doing some work and research on this at my office. For legal reasons we always get permission when possible but the original owner will have a shaky leg to stand on in legal proceedings on claiming ownership rights on items posted on blogs, youtube, flickr, ect. Unless the photo is watermarked or the site has a Creative Commons license it is really a gray area.
Notice some recent lawsuits in which a person is fired or action taken against them because of things said in a personal blog, webforum or say Youtube video. They cannot claim the same amount of privacy granted a personal conversation at a home or even a bar if it is put online. We will be seeing lots of new legislation coming up concern the rights of online communications, images, ideas, etc....
I am not saying you are wrong, I am just saying that the current laws are not enough to cover new technologies. A website posts a pic of a player and then decides he no longer wants to run the site so it sits there for 3 years. Who owns the contents, the original poster, the host for keeping it in "storage" all that time, the current "owner" of the forum? Things we deal with everyday....

I have a 2007 Bowman Cooper Brannan and a 2007 Bowman Chrome Cooper Brannan. Which one do you want me to make the 8x10 of? Would you like the card border cropped off or kept on (if cropped off, I will use 2007 Bowman no matter what...MUCH better looking...if you want a blowup, it really doesn't matter which card; they'll both look pretty nice) Also, do you want me to correct the spelling error that Topps made by calling him "Brannon?" I don't have glossy card stock (price knocked me over), but would regular glossy photo paper be okay? Just get back to me, and I can do it.

How do you make an 8x10 from a card? I always wanted to know how to do this.

I have heard about people using the photos on www.webshots.com and other photo sharing sights for things like this. I do not know the legality of that but it would seem that if you put it on there for people to see then it might be fair game. I have no clue.

I go to Office Depot with my cards or pics I get off the 'Net. I even get pics of cards off the 'Net.
OD..at least the one near me will do this. I get them on card stock.
One place, I';m not mentioning will not do this..not even pics of minor leaguers. One clerk there refused to pront for me..she even refused to print photos I took of my neighbor's kids with some of the Devil Rays because even THAT wold violate some MLB rule. I asked for my disk back...she refused, but then erased the disc before she gave it back to me. I kept my temper in check, went back home, put pics back on the disk and then went to the just-opened OD. That's the ONLY place I'll use now

A lot of photo places...Eckerd's Drug Store, CVH Pharmacy, Rite-Aid Pharmacy, Wal*Mart, Big K Mart have the "stand alone" photo processing units and you can do your own photographs. However as stated previously, you have to be weary of copyright infringements.

Are the clerks going to stand over you while you make the prints? I have never used them.

That's exactly what I was going to ask.
Also... what do I do if I have a bunch of pics that I want to print at a store. Put them on a disk? Floppy? Cd? Then take it to the store and I print them as I wish?

I personally use a flash drive.
