Hey all,

I know that this is more of a ballpark forum, but I figured that one of you might be able to help me out with my search. I am looking for a specific plaque I have seen offered on http://www.vintagesportsshoppe.com/. It was listed a long time ago and has since sold out...

Now, the reason I am looking for it is to use both photos for a possible painting. Some of you may know that I specialize in baseball art, and certainly, if I could get my hands on either one of those photos of Mantle, it would help my line of work greatly.

If anyone can offer up a suggestion, or may even have a copy of these photos and can help, please drop me a pm or email (gkreindler@gmail.com). For a better idea of the kind of work that I do, I have enclosed two samples below the plaque I asked about.

Thanks all,

Wow, you're a very talented artist. I'd give anything to be able to paint like that, or to be able to paint at all. One of my friends in high school was a good artist too and he did a lot of Tigers stuff. Baseball is a beautiful thing, isn't it?
