[Archive]

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Here is our banner sponsored, January 2009 Net54 Vintage Baseball Card Forum (VBCF) contest. Ya'll know the rules but here they are again: <br><br>1. Closest guess to the ending bid (no other fees included), over or under, of this N172 in the below link, wins. Every penney will count on this one!! In the event of a tie the first answer, including the edit, wins.<br><br>2. Bidding and edits STOP on Wed, JAN., 14th at 4pm EST-(board time). Any bids or edits after that and you will be disqualified. <br><br>3. One edit per post allowed, anymore, and you will be disqualified. One guess per person, otherwise.<br><br>4. I will get to make the final ruling on any issues but there has never been one so far (knock on wood). <br><br>5. All members in good standing are eligible play. The other 2 moderators can play this game...if ya'll want to?<br><br>6. The winner will get one of the, just released, Goodwin and Company books- The Photographic Baseball cards of Goodwin &amp; Company by Jay, Richard and Joe. <br><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1231703434.JPG" alt="[linked image]"><br><br><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1889-N-172-OLD-JUDGE-DALRYMPLE-LF-EX-DENVERS_W0QQitemZ310114112202" target="_new">http://cgi.ebay.com/1889-N-172-OLD-JUDGE-DALRYMPLE-LF-EX-DENVERS_W0QQitemZ310114112202</a><br><br><br><br><br><br>edited day of ending...I was a day short....

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Sorry about that. With the concentration of N172 collectors on the board it would probably be impossible to pick an ebay Old Judge that one of our members isn't interested in going for. It might not get too much more exposure? (j/k)<br><br>edited typo

Posted By: <b>Stephen Mitchell</b><p>Thanks to Rich Rubin making available his compilation of hobby references to T206, I have tried to scientifically determine the eventual winning bid.<br><br>How, you say?<br><br>Well, one of the early articles on T206 was entitled &quot;Baseball Cigarette Card Values&quot; by Preston Orem in the March 1957 issue of The Sport Hobbyist. Here are a few quotes:<br><br>&quot;The American Card Catalog, like postage stamp catalogues, does not purport to be an absolute authority on card values. . . Having been during the past year a buyer of may thousands of baseball cards through advertisements, auctions and searches. . . I feel that I have some knowledge of the fair market value of baseball cigarette baseball cards, their comparative plenty or scarcity, and general popularity.<br><br>&quot;172 Goodwin small photos, catalog $.25. [Orem's] values: Superb $.50, Very Good to Excellent $.40, Average $.30, $.15-25 for Fair, $.05-15 Poor. Scarce in excellent condition; not too hard to find faded, pin holes or other damage, clipped, etc.<br><br>Accordingly, my estimate is: $177.89 - a figure PFA (plucked from air).

Posted By: <b>Fred C</b><p>Nice move Rob! I bet it goes just a little bit higher! It's pretty high already but closer to $400 could be the ticket... just think, if there's a computer crash at ebay 10 seconds before the close of the auction, then all the snipe bids would miss out and you could be declared the winner (assuming nobody else bids on it)!
