Posted By: leonSince Novemeber is almost over I figure I will mix up the contest a little. I know not everyone will get to play as the answer could come quickly. That's the way the cookie crumbles....The prize will be the 1926-1929 Heilmann Exhibit in the other thread....AND this contest is a question.....If no one gets it in a few days we will go back to guessing the amount of an ebay auction....but I want to try to mix it up a little....so without further ado....(First one to answer in this thread wins....) What is the exact name of the WG4 Polo Grounds company that made the baseball card set? It has to be exact, and I do have the definitive answer. All disputes/decisions are my final approval on this one....Good luck to all...it's not too easy, but will it be too tough?

Posted By: leonIn the end if there is a big dispute I will take a poll on the board to get some idea....I still get the final say so though....and I did say "exact"....I will show where I am getting my info in the end too...and the answer does have to be in this thread.....If I didn't make it this difficult it would have been over in 3 minutes.....we'll see...

Posted By: RCBarry - I think it is clearly a Liberty, circa 1990's and is probably only valued at $0.25!! Of course with the current currency conversion, it could be much less.
