 The baseball cards are actually from 1971. I used to be a great baseball fan but have become jaded from all of the controversies and money hassles. I long for the old game.

Good shots. Very 'Ken Burns-esque' Needs to be warmer though and the light is too harsh in the upper right at the cards

Although the references are lost on me (I'm not American nor did I play baseball as a child), I can appreciate that this does speak of a time past and likely is very nostalgic to the specific audience that it caters to. It's a wonderful still life and has elements of everything arranged nicely in an appealing composition. It certainly screams nostalgia, but it is visually appealing as an image outside of the challenge also.

Good capture, the flag is backwards.

Good set up. The colors set you picture apart from the other nostalgia baseball pictures that are in black and white and sepia. Definitely gives it a 70's feel.

Nicely composed. I'd like to see the the baseball have better clarity. Otherwise, very well done.

Good idea with the old time cars, the old time mitt, and the old time American spirit.
