Sept. 2009 Net54baseball.com contest

[Leon]

After a brief absence our Net54baseball.com contest is back. You guys and girls know the rules but here they are ....

1. Closest to the final price wins (not including any shipping or other fees)
2. Everyone (including other mods) is eligible to guess except me.
3. Last time you can bid/edit is this Sunday (9-20) at 2:30 (14:30) PST, which is ebay time.
4. You can have one edit per post and one post per member...but the last edit/post needs to be done by the contest ending time.
5. I will be the judge on any issues and my decision is final...but I will confer with the other mods if there is an issue...there has never been one and I don't expect there to be this time. Also, a tie goes to the first person to guess the closest bid....
6. The "card" to guess the final price on is:

http://cgi.ebay.com/1878-Schedule-BASEBALL-Trade-Card-HARRY-WRIGHT-HOF_W0QQitemZ310168230750

And the winner will get this nice E92 Dockman's card delivered to them....

Hey, are you giving Brad and his voices more than one guess?

(For that matter, how about Bruce?)

[barrysloate]

So Brad- you're predicting a flurry of bid retractions?:confused:

[V117collector]

So Brad- you're predicting a flurry of bid retractions?:confused:

You can't win if you don't play! It's kind of like saying "I'm against all odds, the odds are against me!". :)

Leon, it appears you have found the way to increase forum participation. As long as you don't run out of cards to give away, we're in great shape!
Thanks!

Good point. Actually, since there have been banner ads there should have been a game a month but some months have been missed. I know we skipped Aug as it was The National time......

It's good we pick up a few new folks too as all of the people that don't like our board sure voice their opinion. I think we have about 1 a week leaving and about 10-15 a week signing up, so at least the ratio is good :) That, and about 80% that leave eventually come back.....We'll never please everyone and this place isn't really perfect for folks with thin skin (sometimes).....It's a tough crowd with all of these lawyers around here :)>..

I don't believe I've ever participated in a "guess the final price", but this is an interesting item. I'll go $1,500.

[cincicards]

This should also be interesting to watch:

[John V]

$687.77 if it's not too late. :D

[Leon]

It was a close race between 2 Texans (yea)......Jim VB was really close with a guess of $678.90 but Mike Healer looks to be the winner with a guess of $687.50. The ending price was $687.77, so Mike, who had the 85th post, was only .27 cents away. Nice guess Mike.....if you will please send me your mailing address to: leonl@flash.net I will get your nice caramel card out to you within 24 hours. Thanks to everyone who played. Overall, there were a lot of good guesses on an item where there was no previous sales history....best regards
