Memorabilia pickups from the National...

[GKreindler]

Alright, maybe this doesn't count as a memorabilia pick-up, but it's certainly National related!! Here are some photos from the presentation of a commissioned painting to Bob Feller, a couple of hours before he started signing autographs on Sunday.

The man was just so incredibly nice about the piece, and boy, is his mind like a steel trap!! He recognized the game scene immediately, as well as the random dignitaries and family members that were in the crowd that chilly afternoon. Heck, he even remembered the exact attendance figures!!

What may have been even cooler was his reaction to our booth, which he visited at around 4 PM, after he had finished. Unreal. I'm just truly honored that not only he commissioned me to do this for his Van Meter museum, but that it's going to such a great player and person.
