Enjoying this thread and the opinions on framing - have been going back and forth myself on what to do with some paintings, although they are (sadly) not quite as nice as Graig's!

And not that Scott really needs any defending, but add me to the list of folks who think he is a great asset to the forum.

I guess this really gets to the heart of what it means to be a collector. If people collected things that no one else wanted, I guess that would make them hoarders (I think sometimes I might be bordering on that anyway!). I know that in my modest collection, it is always more fun to show or share with someone else who appreciates the beauty/scarcity of any new addition.

To see Scott's pursuit and enjoyment of his targeted collection brings me joy, not envy. There have been posters on this forum who seemed to take great pleasure in trying to make others feel inferior with their collection - I think it's pretty clear to see that Scott is not one of them.

I enjoy reading this thread and i wasn't going to comment, but here's my 2 cents. I am by no means taking sides, but i really enjoy seeing what others have to offer! I see it as a sharing of knowledge, seeing what's out there and what looks good. The more i see and read about the more chances it gives me to explore new avenues to branch out my collection(which is miniscule).
Carry on

Here are the pictures I would want painted if I had the cash (and someday I might!)

This Ty Cobb picture would be perfect cause I would like to have the boy in it substituted for my son and that way i could tell my son that he actually time traveled once!

One of my all tiem favorite Baseball photos, This would also be a test for Graig to see how he would paint a painting

1888 Pittsburgh Alleghenys, man imagine this one painted by Graig! That grandstand would be out of this world!

A KILLER shot of the 1912 Red Sox warming up!

nuff said bout this one!

a great shot of my favorite team the 1908 Cubs. Graig is working on a similar one of the Yanks

always thought this was a cool shot of Chaplin though Id probably stick to Baseball

Sean,
Wow! All of these are awesome images.
I think the biggest challenge would be to decide which one to have painted by Graig....

I agree Scott! I would probably go with the Cobb if I could convince Graig to paint my son in where the boy is. Thought it would be fun for others to post their dream painting pics

Sean,
Of the baseball, I like the Cobb best.
Of all of them, I think the Chaplin would probably be the best showcase of Graig's talents. All the light transitions across his hat, face, hands, etc all from a match, no less, would really allow the magic to shine through.
While not really a Chaplin enthusiast, I can only imagine how great that would look.
Best,
Mark

I agree. my only problem with the cobb is it lacks the stadium landscape that graig does so well. something really intrigues me about that grandstand in the pittsburgh pic. I should probably start saving now
