The minor league sets did not really take off for many teams until later in the 70's. 74 ha one team, 75-76 just a few. 1977 had many more sets issued and with images. Even with bad images or small in sme cases I am able to get a facegen though. The 1980 Mike Barnes was selected in this demo to demonstrates all that I need to get a facegen created - most of tcma's images have larger headshots that work very well. The only feature that did not transfer well were the eyes - the brows, head shape, mouth, nose and chin came out very good. I was almost going to put a set of eyes on this photo for the facegen from another player's card. I do a bit of manipulation on some images to get a good facegen. Look closely at the Michael call image on the previous page. The original image had the sun bleaching out about half his face - my solution was simple. I copied the image twice, mirrored one and created a new image blending the two face halves together. From the phot itself it is not noticeable now, but if you look closely you will see the face is too perfect, both sidesare identical (no ones face has to perfectly equal halves(.
Here is an example of what I can get, this images was first placed on a 54x81 jpg. Is the facegen perfect - no, but it does get the players main features well. When reduced to in game sizes the facegen looks good even though the photo was grainey. I did not use the 180x270 phot9 for the facegen - I used a much smaller image. The 180x270 are used by me to evaluate the facegen output with the player's features and shapes.
Sorry that there is just not enough there for the earlier years and very few images found with google searches.
