Hope I'm not butting in, but I have corresponded with the Hall of Fame and purchased a couple of the McWilliams prints, and am about to buy a few more -- at $25 bucks apiece for an 8x10, I am being picky. The contact at the Hall of Fame is John Horne, who is the Hall Coordinator of Rights & Reproductions:
jhorne@baseballhall.org
I was emailed low-res images of the photos I was interested in, and acquired 1972 images of Bob Burda with the Red Sox and Don Leshnock with the Tigers and a 1975 Bob Jones with the Rangers, all 8x10 and am about to order one or two of Fred Valazquez with the Braves. But they are VERY specific that they are for personal use ONLY and I'm pretty sure I will burn in hell if I dared to post them anywhere in the OOTP universe.
But Horne said the following in a recent email: that they had contracted with an outside source to scan all of the McWilliams images with the intention of putting them on the Hall web site sometime in 2017.
