REWARD if you can find a photo match for me!

[ooo-ribay]

I posted yesterday about going to the Antiques Roadshow and getting this bunting appraised at $1500-2500. The appraiser really liked it but said if I could find a BETTER photo match, it would be great. The photo I have came from a net54 member who found it on Getty Images. This was from the Grand Opening Opening Day of Candlestick Park, April 12, 1960. It appears the buntings alternate between red, white and blue and the Giants orange, white and black. I know some of you have great detective skills . If anyone can find a clearer image, I'll reward you with, let's say, $10 Paypal. I know it's not much, but what the hey?

"not better"? Oh but they are, my friend! The second picture totally confirms it and the other pic and two videos clearly show my banner as well. Please PM me your paypal address so I can send a small token of my appreciation!

Two more things, Butch:

I can't access the ww4.hdnux.com site. Can you confirm the guy in the photo? I'm thinking maybe it's SF Mayor George Christopher.

Secondly, do you remember the search phrase you used on the sfgiantsphotos site? I had been to that site and found a few Opening Day photos but not the one you found of Mays.

Thanks again!!!! This is the thing I love most about net54 and its members,

Heck, now that Butch has me one the right track, I've found another. This is Mayor Christopher, with Nixon to his right. Case closed!

G-I-A-N-T-S appears to be BACKWARDS in the shown photo, but...not nitpicking - great pickup, and provenance - congrats![/B]
