Wow, what awesome responses, everybody! It looks like we'll be able to do this again, and I'm super-stoked about it. Once again, at the helm will be our very own Bill Boyd (billyb) and Lance Fittro (thecatspajamas) - both wonderful gents.

And a big 'thank you' to LL for allowing this to be a reality!

Here's some more info, as prepared by Mr. Boyd and Mr. Fittro:

OFFICIAL RULES TO WIN AN ORIGINAL CUSTOM GRAIG KREINDLER PAINTING (16" x 20" MINIMUM SIZE).

1. Sale of entries will begin on Sunday, Apr 3, 2016 @ 8PM EST, and can be reserved by posting on the '2016 Kreindler Raffle Event' thread on the vintage memorabilia forum.

2. Cost is $20 per entry. PLEASE HOLD PAYMENT UNTIL THE HARD DEADLINE IS REACHED. (see rule #7 below)

3. "Buddy System" - This can be used to assist members who cannot place any requests for entries directly on the board due to personal issues, internet outage, natural disaster, etc. One member can reserve entries for another member, or if you find yourself unable to post and without a Buddy, we can reserve entries for you. Everyone who wishes to participate will be able to do so!

4. A MINIMUM OF 250 ENTRIES MUST BE SOLD FOR THIS EVENT. If the minimum 250 entries are sold and interest continues, additional entries beyond the 250 minimum may be sold, and the painting size will increase as a result. In other words, the size of the painting that the winner receives will ultimately be determined by the number of entries sold. So, since the starting size for the minimum 250 entries is 16" x 20" (current retail value of $4,960), but if 350 entries are sold, the painting can be 18" x 24", 20" x 22", 16" x 26", or any number of combinations with similar square inch totals. Updates to the total number of entries sold and resulting painting size will be given as the event progresses.

5. We cannot list a specific company to use for payments. However, if you choose to use your favorite online method of payment, please use the F & F/gift method or if that company has fees included, do not forget to pay the extra percentage fee. Graig's email address is gkreindler@gmail.com.

For payment by mail, please send Bill (wboyd4422@gmail.com), Lance (thecatspajamas99@gmail.com) or Graig an email or PM, and we will provide an address to mail your payments to. Again, PLEASE HOLD PAYMENT UNTIL THE HARD DEADLINE IS REACHED (see rule #7 below).

Because all money is going to Graig's commission fee, please list it as, "payment for consignment fees, or art consignment, or art work," as online companies frown on words like 'raffle', or 'chances', 'tickets' or any other gaming terminology. Also, when making payments, add your 54 handle somewhere on payment. If you forget to add your handle to your payment, please message Bill to let him know of your payment and what email address you used to do so.

6. Your entry numbers will be given out in order requests are received. The entrant list will be updated as the event progresses, and once the hard deadline is reached and the total number of entries is known, each entry will be assigned numbers from between 1 to 000 (1000), spaced by the total number of entries. The total number of entries will not be less than 250, but continued interest could result in more than 250 entries being sold and a larger painting size being awarded.

Example #1: If 250 total entries are sold, each entry will receive 4 numbers spaced by 250. The first entry will receive #1, 251, 501 and 751. The second entry will receive #2, 252, 502 and 752. Etc.

Example #2: If 333 total entries are sold, each entry will receive 3 numbers spaced by 333. The first entry will receive #1, 334 and 665. The second entry will receive #2, 335 and 666. Etc. One number (#000) would be leftover.

Leftover numbers, if any, will be voided. In Example #2 above, #000 would be voided. If the first game's attendance results in a voided number being the winning number, the back-up game would be used to determine the winner.

7. Once at least 250 entries have been sold and entry sales have slowed, fair warning of about a week will be given and a hard deadline for purchase of entries set. All payment for entries purchased is due within one week following said deadline. If any participant's payment is not received by one week after the deadline, all of their reserved entries will be considered forfeit and may be resold. If payment is mailed late or there are extenuating circumstances preventing payment within that week, please notify Bill via PM.

8. Once all payments are received, an upcoming sporting event game will be selected, along with a secondary game in case of a rain-out or voided entry being the winner of the first game. The winning number will be the last three digits of the attendance of the selected game, as given on the New York Times website box score. The attendance on the New York Times website is the ONLY figure we will use, even if a different attendance number may be given on the radio, television or elsewhere. A back-up game will also be chosen if needed.

9. Winner is responsible for all shipping and handling fees.

10. THE WINNING NUMBERS WILL BE POSTED ON EVENT PAGE.

STIPULATIONS: Graig does reserves the right of final word as to the content and subject matter of the painting requested. Also, he wanted to let everyone know that 16" x 20" paintings DO have limitations. Panoramic or team photos will NOT fit on a canvas that size. However, the winner may elect to "upgrade" to a larger painting size that will allow for the additional desired detail by paying the difference based on Graig's standard commission rates.

Thanks again, everyone. And if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to myself, Lance or Graig.

See you on the 3rd!!

[billyb]

Okay,
As I raise both arms in the air and yell out............YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!
Of course there is a little tush shaking going on as well (not a pretty picture though)

Anyways, as Jackie Gleason would say,..........and away weee go.

Now is the time to start looking for the photos you may want painted. It is never too early, as when the time comes, as the past winners may agree with, once this opportunity does happen for someone, it is not easy to pick out that photo and can be time consuming. Remember, the sooner you get that photo to Graig, the sooner that painting is on your wall.

SO LETS SEE SOME CHOICES

Here are two of my favorites. The Cobb and Speaker have the inside track, but Kaline was my favorite growing up, and this picture is great. I will have to add a few sheckles to get these completed, but well worth it.
Wow, that sure is a lot of faces in that right field seats......LOL..........sorry Graig

Less then 6 days until start of the raffle

[Dewey]

Can't wait!



Just kidding.

[Bpm0014]

hahahahahahha^^^^^^

[billyb]

Dewey,
Wow! That would certainly be a one of a kind.



EVERYONE,
I just want all to know that on Sunday, Apr 3rd, at 8PM, the Raffle Entry thread, will pop in on the memorabilia side ONLY. The memorabilia side is not as busy as the Card side, plus the memorabilia side is where I had the first two raffles, and I want to be consistent.

I will post a reminder thread here on the card side. If you have any questions, they can be asked on the Raffle entry side as well. If you want just to post comments, photos, or have ongoing conversations, that can be done here, on the two current ongoing threads.
Once the raffle is completed, you may then also use that site for posting observations, and please critique the raffle process if you wish. We take all comments, opinions, observations, ideas, and recommendations, very seriously.

And with that all said, 5 DAYS TO GO.

I'd love to purchase a raffle ticket! I work with Bill Boyd up in Gladwin so I'll touch base with him to work out the details.

[Republicaninmass]

Muahuahahaua

[billyb]

VSchwager,
Welcome Aboard. Details are all spelt out in the rules, if you have any questions, I would be glad to help.

I showed Vince the two winners and some of Graig's other works, and he fell in love with the paintings.

Good luck Vince

[billyb]

Ted,
There is a little devil in all of us, but that would be total Satonish.

[billyb]

I'm in for $20. If I'm lucky enough to win I think I'd choose a painting of Ruth and Gehrig, if possible.

[Dewey]

Two men I never saw as a kid. One because I was too young, the other because of the radio. In honor of his last year...


Or Hershiser/Dempsey celebration in 88.



Or...

[JohnP0621]

Billyb, I am not sure if this is allowed but I thought it might not be a bad idea to post the link here just in case there are some who still cannot find the thread? (open and sign up in this one, which is above in the "memorabilia" thread.

only 20 MORE entries to reach our minimum of 250 entries, which assures the Kreindler raffle will have reached its goal to have a good raffle, set a final purchase date, and proceed from that point toward a winner.

You can still enter now, just go to memorabilia side to enter Kreindler raffle, or on this thread, Post 90, Irv has set up a link in post #90, that will take you right to the raffle entry page.

This is an extremely great chance to win a remarkable painting completed by a truly remarkable painter. Don't let this opportunity slip away.

Good luck to all that enters.
