Scott, you might be the biggest attention whore I've read on this board, and granted I haven't been here long.

A vast majority of your posts just screams, "Look at me!! Look what I have!! Look what I won!! Look look look look look!!"

Dude, no one gives a shit. I understand what this site is all about, but you just rub me the wrong way. A lot of self aggrandizing bullshit if you ask me. And I know you didn't ask, but I'm offering anyway.

Thanks. And for those who quietly agree with me, you're welcome.

I could not disagree more.

If I obtained that Vander Meer (or any of Graig's original work) I'd show it off too!

Nobody agrees with you Jake so take a hike.

I agree with this. If I have a Graig painting I would also be an attention whore and then some!!!

Scott- Thanks for showing us the painting, I for one am jealous in a very pleasant way!

My prints from Bill Goff are wonderful but the real thing would sure be a great addition to my room!

IMHO, Scott is one of the very best contributors here. He frequently helps others, and adds value as much as anyone that posts here. This forum would be far less enjoyable and educational without Scott's contributions and insights.

FWIW, I'd also like to see how others here display their paintings. Whether or not to frame it (and how to frame it) is an interesting and valid concern. A big decision, to say the least... and a great question for those here who have that experience.

I once had a magnificent Andy Jurinko original of Jackie Robinson... and the dilemma over all the potential framing options made my head spin. I ended up selling the painting, as I needed to raise money. But I still remember the agony over whether to frame it, potential costs, and what type of frame would best compliment the painting.

Those who agree with you, certainly have the "quiet" part down.
Nice painting!

Having met Scott numerous times I gotta say he is one of the most quality people I have met. This is a site for collectors and for the most part collectors are excited by finding a great piece. So I love to see people who are excited about a great item they got or won or bought. Some people get thrills from drugs and alcohol, others like me get them from finding something cool. The funniest part is that Scott has some stuff that he has not even shown on here that is way cooler than the stuff he has shown!

Perezfan Mark has absolutely captured where I am at right now in the decision making process. I don't recall ever being challenged by a decision on how to frame a particular piece. This particular time my head is spinning because I want to do a great job of displaying Graig's Vandy painting.

Basically what I'm looking for is framing/ displaying options that perhaps I wouldn't have come up with on my own. A couple of you have already checked in with suggestions (Thanks Max and Mike!), but I'm looking for other input before I pull the trigger.

Thanks again for your suggestions!

I agree completely.

I wanted to view this thread because I just opened an office and have been thinking about buying a great piece of artwork. Although I have no particular interest in Vander Meer, the emotion that painting evokes of the era and the men who played the game is almost overwhelming. What a joy it woyld be to go to my office every day and be able to gaze upon something like that. Scott of right should be proud of it. It is a remarkable piece.

On tge subject...anyone know what kind of ballpark price such a piece costs when commisioned?
