Picked up a few old Mets 35 mm slides from the early 80's. I would like to get them developed was wondering if anyone has had this done? How large can they be developed wanted maybe 16x20. Any help would be great.

I picked up a couple on eBay, but if they have the photographer's copyright stamp on them, places will give you grief. One place said I needed a letter from the photographer.

I had a professional photographer I know scan them for me. I guess you could buy a slide scanner on eBay, but I think the quality varies.

I made 16x20s from mine.

I'd say find a fellow with a high tech scanner, slide him a few bucks to put them on disk, then clean them up in something like Photoshop.

To Greg's point I purchased 2 slides and they came with rights to reproduce. I have a letter stating this (not sure if it's worth anything).

I've taken them to a photo place in NYC where they scanned it and put in on a CD for me no questions asked.
