<< <i>My day is ruined since this thread is not about baseball cards. I had to scroll over this thread which is so OT. That really wasted my time. I quit. >>
I agree. I thought this was a new baseball statistic and only to find out.....
My fingers now hurt, my eyes are strained and my wife left me for reading this thread and not spending time with her. Oh my dog just left as I was supposed to feed him before reading this thread and my car is broken down. The car is not CU's fault but I might include it in my class action lawsuit against CU anyways. Boss just said "What are you doing?". I said " Talking about pie". He said "Your fired. That is a baseball board and if you can't stay focused 100% of the time, I cant trust you". He then kicked me. It kinda felt good. The kicking part. Not being fired. Being fired is bad for my income.
I mean what is the world coming too? I expected a baseball topic and get pie jokes? You guys are cruel. I hope the next generation of collectors is better than you OT lovers.
You know what else bothers me? Those smiley faces. Those are OT. They should have team insignias on them. (Appropriate licensing fees paid to the MLB, of course)
Great !! By replying to this OT thread, I bumped it up thus contributing to it. I have become what I hate. Life is over for me now. Good Bye cruel world.
Here's a dumb joke:

When I 1st met my wife I gave her that as my phone number. I was trying to be funny and she didnt get it. Just jotted it down. Of course I gave her my real #, but to this day she insists I was giving her the wrong # as I didnt want her to call and I finally gave her the real one only because I felt bad. lol

That reminds me of Lard Arse.
Edited because I had to change a word so others wouldn't get their panties in a wad.

There is actually a very cool book on the Golden Ratio, written by Mario Lazio (sp?), if you're in to that kind of thing.

"There is actually a very cool book on the Golden Ratio, written by Mario Lazio (sp?), if you're in to that kind of thing. "
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The number is actually very important in the card world.
There is hardly a card designed that does not employ the golden-section concept.
The area can be filled with an image in part or in whole; or it can be vacant in part
or in whole. The placement of an object within the section - or the open space within
the section - has a direct effect on our general perception that "the card is attractive."
A trip to a museum is most interesting with the number in mind. Movies would
not appeal to us, if the shots were not framed on the basis of the number.
I grabbed horiziontal cards, but the concept is the same with vertical shots.

Maybe I'm just being obtuse, but I don't see the Golden Ratio in either of these cards. Where do you find a line segment in either of these cards which is divided in such a way that a/b=b/c?
////////////////////////////////////////////
Don't look for blank/empty space when trying to find your section.
The space - which attracts/pleases the eye - may contain objects,
or it may be open/empty.
The peasantine way to see the section is to simply grab about 1/3 of the
l/r canvas with your eye. An object can fill all/part of the section, OR
the empty space can pleasingly frame objects adjacent to the section.
The section can be made on the left or the right. And, if you draw your
line on a 51 Bowman, 52 Bowman, or 52 Mantle, the section identifed
by the math will tell you why the cards are "attractive" to our eye.
The "framing" is revealed by the line.
The Koufax PC: I'm using his his body parts to fill my space.
The 1956 Mantle: I can use his left-leg, AND I can use the area
of the logo on his hat.
The 1960 Mantle: I can use the right sleeve OR I can use the bat
to approximate the areas that attract the eye. The red-insert+
fills the section; if I say my section is on the left, and delete the
red-insert, a pleasing frame is made by the line of the right-sleeve
and the section is not filled.
The number is not valid as a mere function of math. The number works
because the human eye is comfortable/pleased at the approximate
points identified by the math. The number was found in the search for
the answer to the question: Why does my eye go there, and why do
I like it?
Lay the drafting of the rectangle in the link "Framing Film and Photos"
over the cards. You will see the filling/using of the section.
The section does not tell us why pictures/people/buildings look best
to humans. The section was identified as an area that drew the eye
and pleased it. The math is coincidental - but always nearly exact.
The math does not tell us where we should look, it tells us where we
will generally be looking when we say we are most pleased with what
we are viewing.
I was trained not to try to use the section as a "frame." Yet, most times
it will be seen as a frame; it can also be filled with objects that "frame"
the other objects that are adajacent to the section.

Painting
Leonardo da Vinci's illustrations in De Divina Proportione (On the Divine Proportion) and his views that some bodily proportions exhibit the golden ratio have led some scholars to speculate that he incorporated the golden ratio in his own paintings. Some suggest that his Mona Lisa, for example, employs the golden ratio in its geometric equivalents.[22]
Whether Leonardo proportioned his paintings according to the golden ratio has been the subject of intense debate. The secretive Leonardo seldom disclosed the bases of his art, and retrospective analysis of the proportions in his paintings can never be conclusive[citation needed].
Salvador Dalí explicitly used the golden ratio in his masterpiece, The Sacrament of the Last Supper. The dimensions of the canvas are a golden rectangle. A huge dodecahedron, with edges in golden ratio to one another, is suspended above and behind Jesus and dominates the composition.[23][2]
Mondrian used the golden section extensively in his geometrical paintings.[24]
Interestingly, a statistical study on 565 works of art of different great painters, performed in 1999, found that these artists had not used the golden ratio in the size of their canvases. The study concluded that the average ratio of the two sides of the paintings studied is 1.34, with averages for individual artists ranging from 1.04 (Goya) to 1.46 (Bellini).[25]
