Is this Facebook, or a sportscard forum? Nothing personal, but these "like" posts and "+1" posts offer nothing of interest to other readers, and they just clog up threads with useless posts of affirmation.

Great. Now I'm becoming part of the "get off my lawn" crowd.

I actually like the +1 and likes because that gives a person the opportunity to agree with something without taking the time to do a bunch of typing. Just a counterpoint you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

I've never thought of art as a competition...I think both are amazing, but Graig brings a painting to life like I've never seen before.

When you think of quality collectibles, you think of Legendary (I guess) and while Perez has had his day in the sun, you would think that an auction outfit as big as them would recognize the Mike Trout of sports art, not the Manny Ramirez.

I'm not taking away anything from Perez (I own one and I'm happy with it), but a lot of his post-early Perez Steele art (IMO) is "cartoonish", not realistic and doesn't compare.

While this Dick Perez Ty Cobb shown isn't the worst thing in the world, when you put it side by side with the Kreindler, there is no comparison at all.

That Kreindler is off the hook, and he is one little talented bastard.

I originally posted this, thinking it was Cobb sliding and a vintage comparison to the two paintings. It's from the dust jacket of the 1933 Who's Who in Major League Baseball. However, while the fielder is clearly from the image, the sliding player isn't Cobb, the umpire is in a different spot and the stands are different.

Yeah, to each their own. I'm definitely not going to lose sleep over it, and didn't intend to single out thekingofclout -- those types of posts just leave me perplexed, I suppose, and I had to ask the purpose.

Life goes on....

...and Kreindler is still the best sports artist out there.

I'll tell you what Chuck. Before you say that I "offer nothing of interest to other readers" why don't you check all of the threads that I've started over the last 3+ years.

And although you claim that you "didn't intend to single out the kingofclout" that is exactly what you did.

Mr. Kreindler's work is AMAZING, as has been said in MANY threads over the time..

I just checked them, and all I can say is...

PM was sent to thekingofclout a couple days ago with an apology. I should've started a separate thread asking about the real purpose of "like" posts, rather than clogging up this thread and singling him out. My bad.

And I never doubted or called into question theking's contributions or place on this board. My comment was specifically about his, or anyone's, "like" posts. I'll just skip over those posts and not let them bug me so much.
