The LOC site is exactly where these ebay sellers obtain their "posters". The TIFF files are huge, and will produce extremely high quality prints--the ulitmate quality you get will depend on the quality of the printer you use.

Can someone familiar with the library site, post a link to that section?
Thanks!

I googled the following: library of congress baseball cards

This is the site: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/bbhtml/bbhome.html

I'm sure there are many major league cards but I was interested in the minors, so I clicked "About the Collection" and then "minors". There were 157 minor league players of different series; certainly not complete---I was kind of hoping for more.

Max was correct in stating this is where the ebay seller(s) get the images for their posters because as far as I can tell the only ones they sell are all available at LOC.
