Raffle starts TONIGHT, 8:00 PM EST!!

[GKreindler]

Hey all,

Since one or two of you have expressed some interest, I was hoping to get a better idea: how many of you would be into participating in another painting raffle? I don't have any of the particulars worked out yet, nor have I spoken to Bill who usually handles the whole shebang, but I just wanted to gauge interest before I decide whether to go through with it or not.

Rules-wise, it'll probably be pretty similar to the last two, and probably with each ticket costing $20. Though again, nothing's set in stone yet.

Anywho, for those of you who are into the idea, please leave a note on this thread, and I guess we'll go from there!

Thanks,

Graig

[Lordstan]

Yes. Absolutely.

[gregr2]

[GKreindler]

Thanks for chiming in, guys. If anyone else is interested, please just say so.

For what it's worth, here are the two raffle paintings that have been claimed thus far:

Graig,
You may want to ask if Leon will post this in the main forum as well. I think card collectors would be interested in your work, not just memorabilia collectors.
Another suggestion would be to put the retail value of the painting being auctioned. Many may not realize the cost of original paintings and what a great deal the raffle is for what they would be getting.

Best,
Mark

[btcarfagno]

Yeah. I'm in.

Graig I think you know what I am going to want when I win.

I mean if I win.

No. When I win.

James,
You presented your name in the first sites we posted to find out if we had enough interest to go forward, because that is all those threads were about, to see if those generated enough interest so we can go forward and have the raffle starting tonight. We started a brand new raffle site, titled Kreindler Dream event III, (raffle), entries now open", There is where you place your request to get placed on the entry list.
I posted several times that I would be posting a new thread on the memorabilia side, on Apr 3 at 8PM and that is where you enter the raffle. It was also in the rules stating that I would be posting a new thread on the 3rd it initiate the raffle.
Please, to enter, place your request there, on the memorabilia/game used side of this website, and state your entry requests there. You will see the entry list, once your request is made, I will place your name on that list.

Good luck

I just want everyone to know, if you place your name onto this thread, it does not mean that you have entered the raffle. This thread was intended to see if the was enough interest in a raffle for us to proceed.
I posted several times that I would be opening up a new thread, on the Memorabilia/game used side , on April 3rd, and there is where you enter the raffle.
So please, if you want the chance to win a custom painting by Graig, then go to the thread that states, Kreindler Dream event, (raffle), open of entry requests. It is located on the memorabilia/game used side

[billyb]

Just 25 needed to complete the minimum for a good raffle.




Bill

[brad15]

I definitely want to do this!

[billyb]

'Brad,
Welcome aboard. Good luck.

Bill

[Scott Garner]

I'm in!

[Iron Horse]

wondering if this image would work

[GKreindler]

Ruben, though a great image, it wouldn't work with a 16" x 20". A full-body shot like that would have to be about twice that size. Which of course you can upgrade to if you win!

[jonvancouver]

Graig, Could you do the 1958 Topps Mossi card.
I'd actually buy that from you regardless if I win lol. Want it behind my desk at the office.

[Iron Horse]

Thanks, now let's see if I win

[billyb]

24 hrs and 20 minutes to go before we kick this off.

I just got a scary weather forcast. High wind warning for Sunday from 2PM to 11 PM. If I loose my internet, I will be highly ticked off.

In Northern Michigan, we use a dish for out internet, and it does get interrupted from time to time. We will have some sort of plan in place'

By the way, I posted this box score form the last two raffles.

Cards Side............................2
Memorabilia Side..................0


Ugly box score.

[billyb]

10 HOURS TO GO.

A reminder, I will be opening a new thread at 8PM EST, here on the memorabilia side. Once the thread shows up, entries can then be purchased.

Bill, if you do lose internet, give me a call and I can post an update to this thread.

Others, if Bill loses internet and you don't see a new Raffle Entry thread right at 8 PM EST, just hold your entry requests until he regains connectivity and can post the new thread. If you have extenuating circumstances preventing you from posting later in the evening, please e-mail or PM your requests to Bill. If that fails, e-mail or PM me or Graig. Our preference is that all requests be made on the board if possible, as we will be using the time stamps of the requests to assign the entry numbers in order. Cross-referencing time stamps across multiple platforms and users gets a little harder.
