Help sourcing a photo of Carew and Oliva?

initialD

I have a signed bank deposit slip that my aunt had IP auto'd from Rod Carew and Tony Oliva back in the day.

It's personalized to my cousin (both have passed away )

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as far as finding an 8x10 of the both of them?

I've checked ebay and gettyimages.

I think it would look nice together on my wall

TIA

You will have to do some homework....Try looking in some old programs from their years. You could also do a search for different photographers from the Twins local papers..Also James Drake was a well know photographer at Sports Illustrated and he did features on Oliva back then. Maybe you can find his images at James Drake/Sports Illustrated/Getty Images.

You'll probably find a photo that was never published if you find a local beat photographer. For example, my good friend was a local photograper for the LA Rams during the 70's and has tons of photos he never published...Even has photos of young Walter Payton back in the day. And has lots of cool candids of the Dodgers too when he covered them. So I would try and find some old local newspaper articles and find some photographers names and go from there.

Another thought....You could find 2 similar photos of each and have someone do a nice photoshopped photo and that would be sweet.
