Contest over/Winners identified - Brockelman contest w/vintage cards for best guess
 

Another Brockelman auction is upon us, and thus it is time for another contest involving my consignments to the auction.

This time I literally have dozens of lots in the auction, as usual all in the Pre-WW2 category, and your object is guess 12 of them with your posting of 12 lots.

You can guess a total of two times (no edits), and occasionally I might throw out a sneakily mysterious indication of top current guess. The first 7 different guessers will end up with a bonus vintage card if one of their guesses ends up a winner.

The winner will be the person with the most correct guesses (tie goes to first guesser) before the cutoff time of 3pm EST on Friday February 2nd, and they will win their choice of one of the below pictured in the scans:

Group of 4 strip cards

Group of 3 Zeenuts

Group of 2 tobacco cards

Group of 2 1930's Goudey cards

The Group all by himself Diamond Star Hubbell

The T201 SGC30 Gaspar/Clarke


If someone gets all twelve correct (contest will end immediately in this event), they can have their pick of two groups of the cards.

Thanks to Paul, here is the link to the auction:

25, 26, 28, 86, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 124, 132, 133

Still 3 more folks that can qualify for bonus vintage card. I also added a nice graded T201 card as a prize option to sweeten the pot a little. I will give my first hint after we reach 7 guessers.

Brian

I’ll give it shot.

6,18,48,53,74,82,102, 104,115,125,133,156

Thanks for the contest!

5,9,46,47,48,49,63,111,114,136,137,154

Thank for doing this again

Now that we have the first 7 guessers I will give some scant and shifty clues.

Of those first seven guesses, a total of 8 guesses were correct. The top guesser had three correct, the next best was two correct, three people had one correct, and two struck out.

Also, three lots were correctly identified by two separate guessers.

One guesser had more than 3, but did edit his guess, and I shall not disqualify it but please do keep the no edit rule in mind.


Brian

My 2nd and final guess, finding way too many items to bid on playing this game!

Thanks

I will let slip that first line of Rookiemonster's first (and currently only) guess are indeed all incorrect.

Brian

Added the HOF T206 Vic Willis card as a guess at least 11 correct bonus. Let's get some action on this contest!

Brian

Thanks again ! This was fun

Contest ending soon!
 

Auction ends tomorrow, but this contest ends in three hours (3pm EST). Get your final guesses in soon...remember everyone is allowed two unedited guesses each.

Here is the final hint...I abhor numbers in the 30's and the 150's. Whether that means if any of my lots are in those ranges, I'll let you decide.

Good luck!

Brian

Second guess:

11, 102, 104, 105, 106, 107, 112, 114, 115, 130, 135, 137

Thanks, I've put way too much thought into these guesses.

3pm EST deadline is looming...
 

The window for guesses is closing, just 75 minutes left to get up to 2 guesses in before 3pm EST deadline.
