Please Help! I am planning on enlarging the 1959 National Championship ticket to 34" X 16" inches, and getting it framed and matted as a gift to a friend.

Im on a pretty tight timeline at this point, and need the high quality scan by mid next week in order to get the framing done in time for the birthday.

I did get a picture from Greg, and I really appreciate it, but that picture isnt big enough. When I blow it up, the pixels are really blown out, and it looks pretty bad. The guys at Office Max recommended that I get a professional high quality scan of the ticket so I can do the ticket justice in a framed picture that big.

Anything ANYONE can do to help would be appreciated. I can pay for the scan if need be. Please contact me at QuikS123@yahoo.com if you can help out! Thanks!

Geaux Tigers!

fwiw, that was merely "the Sugar Bowl". Win,lose or draw, LSU had already won the 1958 National Title.

Too bad those rules weren't in place this year.

Excellent recommendation and here is why...

For a 16 x 34 print at 300dpi (photo quality) you would need a scanned file approx 50MB size (10200 pixels x 4800 pixels)

For a 16 x 34 print at 200dpi (good quality) you would need a scanned file approx 22MB size (6800 pixels x 3200 pixels)

I'm not sure how large the source ticket is but I imagine it is no larger than 3 x 4.

This demands a scanner that has the capability of producing the resolution required from a relatively small target. Highly unlikely that a consumer scanner has the necessary specifications.

Call around some quality photo finishers and discuss your requirements.

Dude........ Really???? Im not looking to solve world peace, and im not looming for an absolutely picture perfect enlarged copy either. All i asked for is for someone to go to Office Max, and make a professional scan of their ticket dude. Cajuns arent supposed to make $#&¥ this difficult man. I lnow because I am one. A picture thats 5-10MB would be just fine.

I would be willing to pay you like $20 to do it for me man. Getting shot fused, and it would mean the world to me.

Sounded like he was being a smart a$$. If thats not the case, I apologize, but Im not looking for perfection. Just something big enough to blow up and look "descent". Anything 5MB and above would look fine.

Do you have the ticket?

If so, you can try taking a high res picture of it with a quality camera. It works well with the right lighting.

I dont have the ticket. I was first trying to buy one from someone so I could get my own scan, but no one is selling theirs. The second option was to have someone scan their copy. Havnt had any luck with that either. Thats all I need is that quality scan to get this done. You know anyone that has a copy that might be able to help?
