A special message from Graig Kreindler.........FINAL RESULTS

[billyb]

Please See Graig's post below, and I will be posting the games here shortly, in the meantime, Graig has given good instructions below.

I want to thank Graig, in allowing us to present such a great final piece that someone will walk away with, you have all been great. You all do so much for the hobby/business of collecting of sports memorabilia, You give your time and efforts everyday through Identifing, preserving and collecting of sports history, and often act as watchdogs over, what I consider, the greatest hobby in the world. The quality of knowledge, which you possess may often go unappreciated. But not by Graig, or myself. I would include Lance along with Graig and myself, but he is actually one of the many I am talking about, so a double thank you to Lance.
So to cut this short, as you have read enough of my postings by this time, good luck to everyone of you.
And please, keep up your good work.

THE GAME: WED, MAY 14, Cubs @ Cardinals, postponed due to rain.

If above rained out: May 14, Boston @ Minnesota, starting pitching; Doubpont (Boston), Correia (Minn).

Hey all,

So, I'm super excited to say that the race to win the first official raffle is underway.

For starters, I wanted to thank each and everyone of you who have expressed interest in this bit of fun. And an even heartier 'thank you' to those who have entered. I'm still truly honored that so many of you enjoy my work enough to be a part of this occasion. And if all goes as planned, this is something that I would love to do somewhat regularly. You, the good people of Net54, really have played a huge part in whatever success I've managed to accrue over the past few years, whether it be through sales, connections, or simple words of encouragement. I only hope that these raffles are a good start to giving back to you guys.

We have received all of dues without much of a hitch, so we're ready to announce the game that you guys should keep an eye on. This Wednesday, May 14, the Cubs will be facing the Cardinals in St. Louis at 7:15 CT. The winning number will be taken from the last three digits of the attendance of this game as given on the New York Times website box score. Even in the event of a different attendance number being given at the ballpark, on the radio, television or elsewhere. If there is a rain-out, a backup game has already been chosen, and will be posted on the front page of this new thread as soon as we learn of the change.

The results will be posted as soon as we have them, as well as the winner's name and Net54 tag. From there, I hope to use the rest of this thread as a chronicle of the whole process, from beginning contacts to the completed piece. Therefore, when we do this again, interested parties can refer back to these pages and will hopefully get a better idea of how it all unfolds.

Once again, hearty gratitude goes out to Bill Boyd, Lance Fittro and Leon Luckey for making this thing a reality. Thanks, boys.

And if any of you have questions, feel free to PM myself or Bill.

Good luck to you all!

Graig

Guys and Girls-
This whole thing has been the brainchild of Bill and Graig (hi Bill and Graig) and their attention to the details, while having some fun, is much appreciated. I have been quite hands off on the whole process and it has gone off without a hitch. Bill has done an outstanding job with it and Graig is Graig . We love ya' man!! Thanks to everyone for all of the civility shown. Good luck to everyone and may the luckiest person win!!

Thankyou, Bill and Lance, for all the legwork (I know it wasn't easy at times), and thanks in advance to Graig for painting such an awesome piece for me.

[GKreindler]

Just a quick heads up for y'all, today's Cubs game was postponed due to rain, so it's off to Minnesota with Boston we go!

Keep your eyes on this space for the final boxscore number.

Good luck!
