Obtaining a Getty Images photo

There is a photo of Hank Aaron from 1973 on Getty Images and I would like a large copy (maybe 16x20 if still sharp) for home/personal use. Getty does not sell images for personal purposes, so I guess I need to find someone with the right kind on Getty license with the ability/right to make such sales. Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

    If you click on the link next to "release information" there's a live chat button you can click. Maybe their live chat guy can help

    I have a Getty licensing contract (I'm a photographer) and my contract specifically opts out of personal use and royalty free usages. The fees are way too low. That isn't to say someone can't license any image for personal usage, just that they can't get it for the normal (low) personal use fee.
    I'm sure if you call an editor they will still license it to you, for a price. And judging from my monthly royalty statements, a pretty low price regardless.
