<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1910975, member: 66"]Well put a building or something else with straight lines onto a curved surface and you end up with a distorted looking building, unless you distort the building so that on a curved surface it looks normal. (but see pictures of the coin and the building will look distorted because you can't see the three dimensional aspect in a two dimensional picture.) The natural curvature of the glove as you are looking into the pocket compliment the curvature of the coin, just as the curved surface of the basebal compliments the convex side of the coin. I think that one reason why ball gloves were a common feature of the finalists was because that most of the public submitted designs did not take the effect of the curved surface into account</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/attachments/nolanfight1-jpg.327436/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Was this part of the line at Baltimore?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
