Classic Dan Gable Photo

[mhlarch]

My brother is an autograph collector, mostly baseball players, but he really respects Dan Gable and he would like to get a personalized autograph. His typical approach is to get a photo, send it to the person he wants to sign it with a request for an autograph. He always includes a check for their trouble.

Here is our dilemma. I am trying to purchase a B/W photo for him, but can't find a reasonably priced image (which respects copyright laws). I'm looking for an 8x10" B/W classic photo of Gable wrestling West German Klaus Rost in the Olympics. It's the one that Gable is riding his opponent and has a head bandage on. I tried attaching a screen shot but couldn't figure it out. Getty Images who controls the copyright wants $175 for a small 8x10" photo. We don't want to use for commercial use so it seems crazy to pay that kind on money. Any suggestions?

This one? If so, there are a number of them on eBay for much cheaper than that, most already autographed.

Thanks ping......great idea......I should have started there, but my concern is that they'll all be signed. I'm looking for an unsigned photo so my brother can get it personalized by Coach Gable. I'll check this out in more detail and hope I can find an unsigned one.

Have you tried the Dan Gable Wrestling HOF in Waterloo? I think that they used to have Gable posters and pics.
