Ray Emery Photo help

[Bishop19]

i know technically this is probably the wrong thread to be asking this, but i think i'll have more luck with everyone here than anywhere else. i'm looking to get a high-quality photo of Ray Emery in his Russian team's uniform. i don't want to pay an arm-and-a-leg either. so if anyone has a nice quality jpeg or knows somewhere i can get one that can be printed into an 8x10 to be signed...please help!
thanks!

thanks a lot nightoftheliving...
don't like the one with the chick, but the other one is pretty good. and its a large file so it should be good to print. i really appreciate it.

wouldn't mind some more photos to choose from if anyone else has any. if not, at least i have one. thanks again!

yeah, i doubt they will. its a shame b/c Carter & Cote are supposedly best friends so Carts woulda been guaranteed to have been there. i wouldn't have expected any of the other invitees to have been there anyhow judging from the guests last yr. i just hope they have another player or 2 i don't have, which is only (Asham, Carcillo & the new guys acquired this off-season). i heard a rumor that Upshall will be there this yr, but i wouldn't put much stock in the source it came from. but i'm going either way, had fun last yr. won a sweet signed Gagne plaque in the chinese auction and my g/f's mom has MS so it means something for us to support it.

i missed last year, I was out of town. i was really hoping for carter. i need him on a 16x20 i'm working on and he is a notoriously bad signer. oh well

if you need asham, he is really easy to get after practice. he's stopped literally every day I've been there. carcillo is a little tougher but I got him twice last year after practice.

had an excruciatingly bad year at practices last yr so i only ended up going 3 times all yr. once during rookie camp in early Sept and got Knuble, Jones & Coburn only and i already have multiples of all 3. i went again in late Oct and only Jones stopped (as well as grabbing Barber as he walked out the front door). the last time i went in early April, only Giroux & Coburn stopped. so as you see, i wasn't in a hurry to drive an hour each way to practice too often last year. i plan on heading back during rookie camp and regular training camp to get some new guys while they're still trying to look good for the fans, haha.

i've gotten Carter twice. once at a Phantoms game he was attending 2 yrs ago w/Cote, Jones & Downie and at last yr's Carnival. he's not the most out-going guy, so i know he'll never stop at practice. but i picked up a new 8x10 of him in the new jerseys so i wanted him again too. oh well.

i'll let you know when i head down this year and I can try to get asham for you. like i said, he's stopped every time i've been there. i'm switching jobs so I'll only be headed down on weekends, but I can try for ya if you dont get one yourself


i've also gotten carter twice. both time he had someone in the car, thats why he stopped. once with lupul, the other was with his grandfather during the playoffs. apparently his grandfather was busting his balls about not signing. good for you gramps!

i hear ya about making the drive to practice. i live in lancaster so it can be a drag. i usually go when there is a visiting team in town and i try to knock out a couple graphs at the hotel

i've had a few people tell me about getting visiting teams at their hotels. i heard they only stay at 2 hotels, do you know which ones and what are the best times to go? i know you should call the hotel and ask for a scrub player, but i was hoping to narrow down the hotels to call. just trying to get as much advice as i can so i don't screw it up. really wanna get Calgary but they don't come to down this yr. thinking about hitting up Chicago & Detroit.

as for Asham, i appreciate the offer. i'll let you know if i get him early on in the season. i live at the Shore so its a hike for me. with my job i work weekends so i'm strictly a midweek guy. maybe that's why you have more success, who knows.

thanks again!

just checked my email and thanks for the info. very helpful, i'll definitely have to give it a try this year. as for the autograph hounds...there's a few at practice that piss me off more than anything. they act like they're better than everyone else just b/c we might not know what some player's new car is and they're not polite to the players at all.
as for the Carnival, i saw Asham, didn't notice Carter but i'll check the site after here. i already had my tix but definitely looking fwd to it already 2 guys i need and Carter would be nice on my new 8x10.
i'll shoot you an email if i'm heading to any hotels thie season, most likely Chicago & Detroit are a given for me now.
thanks again for the help.

and those hounds at practice arent that bad, really. the guys i'm talking about are dealers. one guys was telling me he just got off probation for breaking another graphers jaw outside of a hotel. real idiots.

i just hit you with another email, i forgot something in the first one

yeah, there's 2 dealers i saw a lot at practice 2yrs ago, but never saw 'em this past yr, i was talking about them as well as 2-3 "serious" collectors that aren't too polite.
what the hell could they get so pissed at getting autographs? cutting in front of him or something? i don't get it.
