The Brockelman Auction contest is back again for the auction that ends this Saturday, and you have the chance to score some vintage cards as seen in the scans at the bottom of this post.
The auction:
http://www.brockelmanauctions.com/catalog.aspx
This time the contest will consist of 8 lot # ranges seen in the auction. Your task as a contest participant is to name ONE lot in each of these ranges that you think I consigned to this auction. Those lot # ranges are as follows:
1). #40 through 49
2). #50 through 59
3). #60 through 69
4). #240 through 249
5). #250 through 259
6). #260 through 269
7). #270 through 279
8). #610 through 619
Your goal is to answer the above 8 questions more correctly than your fellow Net54'er. In the case of a tie, the first guesser is the top winner.
An example of the format your 8 answers should look like is as follows (the below answers would get you ZERO correct, since these lot numbers are not part of the lot number ranges listed above, nor do these lot numbers exist in the auction):
1) 2040
2) 2053
3) 2067
4) 1240
5) 1255
6) 1267
7) 1279
8) 1618
The prizes are as follows: The top guesser gets his choice of 1 card from the HOF prewar cards seen in the first scan below, AND 3 cards total from the following following three scans. The runner up will get 1 card from the prewar HOF'er scan and 1 card from the following three scans, after the top guesser has made his choices. And the third place finisher will get 1 card from scans 2 through 4.
You are allowed two total guesses, with no edits. All guesses need to be posted by 8pm EST on Saturday, October 7th, the same night that the auction closes.
Good Luck!
