Thanks William... very interesting about the curvature.

From the photo, it looks like the leather is darker above those seams (towards the finger tips), making them appear "capped". Guess it's just an illusion.

I'm sure that Graig appreciates this unnecessary over-analysis. Probably making him uneasy about painting this one... sorry!

Last night I picked up 11 signed baseball magazines in a large ebay auction. None of them were vintage although some were 1950's and 60's, and all but one were Yankees themed, but the one that wasn't was one I've been looking for the last 7 years. A nicely signed 1973 Sporting News signed by Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue, and Ken Holtzman. I've only seen one other and it had some really bad sigs on them (think CC), so I'm really jazzed!!

Congrats Mike, that's very cool, seven years worth...I'd frame it or encapsulate it or something...that newspaper stock is especially subject to deterioration...but what ever you do enjoy it..and in my opinion display it for everyone to appreciate....What's Catfish Hunter doing these days?

That is AWESOME that you are getting that photo made into a painting. I am excited to see the finished product, it is a great image that really seems to capture Depression era baseball in all aspects!

Yes indeed Catfish passed on in 1999 from a fall brought on from complications from Lou Gehrig's disease. Catfish was one of my all time favorite players.

Well I guess that explains why I haven't seen him around

Absolutely, Rhys! I had been looking for the perfect image of 1938 Vandy for Graig to paint for me. This one ended up being the Lotto winner!

Thanks for finding it for me!

Mike,

Great pickup! Ken Holtzman has really become a non-signer over the last decade, BTW.
Congrats!
