Scott, I recently had a 16x20 original team photo scanned by a professional photo restoration shop. They used a large format flatbed scanner for the job but still had to scan it in two passes. They stitched the image back together and you could never tell where the line is. The service cost $40 and I got a DVD with the image. The file size is huge (1.5GB) which helps tremendously with touch ups and the quality of the image if I were to do a digital reprint of it down the road. I imagine an image that will fit onto a flatbed scanner without having to be stitched together would be much cheaper.
