Thanks Mike, but I was looking perhaps for a large jpeg file, I have it on my hardrive but it's a paltry 20k and it doesn't look good if I print it on 8x 10. This is the file I have on my computer, does anyone have a larger file?

Ah, OK. My pic is a jpeg but I get what you're looking for. My offer still stands if you want a hi-res photo. The poster is on the wall in the garage now so it's easy to take a pic if you need it.

Anyway this is what I was working on...A framed fact poster to place in front of the 928 for our upcoming PCA show in October. Even built an easel to set it on. The holbert poster looked good at 5"x7" so I could still add it.

Does the poster have enough of a copyright on it for Kinko's to refuse to scan it to digital.
Don't Kinko's have the large format scanner? Flat or Drum scanner.

For that effort someone may need to throw some beer coins at Mcholdfast.

If you guys run into problems with local printers, the lab I use is one of the best in the world and I shouldn't have any issues with copyright.
I regularly print 30x40's for customers, this is not on cheap poster stock either.

Friend of mine has a mint condition poster, I'll see if any of my contacts have a scanner large enough for a really good scan.

The data for a large print could and should be added to the intro stuff that we suggest that newbies read over.

I tried taking some photos today and I wasn't happy with the results. I may be able to scan it at work free of charge. I'll find out in the morning. My copy is not perfect but the flaws aren't anything that photoshop or similar won't fix.
Coincidently, earlier today I was unpacking some old magazines and putting them on a new shelf in the garage and found this. I hope it isn't an Enzo. I don't recall seeing it posted before.

Cool article, thanks Mike.

The last picture is funny.. like the cameraman decided the previous pic was too static and said "ok, everyone look busy"
