CLOSED - Brockelman Auction contest ends TODAY 2/6 at 6pm EST

[brianp-beme]

Brockelman Auction contest time is here again for the auction that ends this Saturday, and you have the chance to score some vintage cards.


The auction: http://www.brockelmanauctions.com/catalog.aspx


This time the whole auction is included (not just the PreWW2 section, because this time some of my consignments crossed over the PreWW2 line), and your guesses will only involve the lot numbers in the auction that end in numbers '7' and '9'.


You will need to guess 10 lot numbers (that end in 7 or 9) that I consigned to the auction. An example guess of lot numbers would be as follows:

709
827
747
769
789
717
819
809
837
839

The above guess would not be valid, because these lot numbers do not exist in the auction, but dangit, at least the lot numbers end in either a 7 or 9.


Your goal is to guess more correctly the lots that I consigned than your fellow Net54'er. In case of a tie, the first guesser is the top winner.


The prizes are as follows: Top guesser gets either one HOF card seen below, or 3 commons, their choice. The runner up will get one common of their choice, after the top guesser makes his selection, of course.


The rundown on prize cards available:

T202 end panel Baker HOF
E102 Doyle
W514 McCarty
W515 Faber HOF
Callahan Pennock (not considered a HOF for purposes of this contest)
1953 Bowman Loes
Diamond Stars Cuyler HOF
1935 Goudey 4 in 1 w/Martin
1936 Goudey Werber
W573 Wheat (HOF)
1950 Bowman football Stone

W551 Bancroft (HOF)
C46 Stilton
V61 Type 2 Aldridge
V100 Mitchell
E121 Griffith
1934 Goudey Tinning
Diamond Stars Berger
W517 P. Waner (HOF)
1911 Zeenut Meikle
1941 Double Play Moore/Mancuso




You are allowed two guesses of 10, with no edits. All guesses need to be posted by 6pm EST on Saturday, February 6th, the same day the auction closes. Good Luck!

[brianp-beme]

Nat not only made a perfectly formatted contest entry (he opted on the 'two guesses in one post' route), but he also is the contest leader.

Brian

[brianp-beme]

It wouldn't be a Brockelman Auction contest on Net54 if I didn't bump it every so often.

I did a fat finger error and it ended up with an edit so fill free to disqualify me.

A minute after posting correction this early in the contest does not disqualify you John...in fact it has earned you a promotion to the esteemed position of Fat Finger Undersecretary of Labor. The best part is that there is absolutely no responsibilities involved. Just sit back and cross those fat fingers and hope that vintage cards will be coming your way.

Brian

[nebboy]

Thanks for the understanding.

So here's a daily bump

[brianp-beme]

Thanks John. My next bump, when I get to it, will be to add more cards, both HOF and commons, available for the the top two guessers.

Brian

[brianp-beme]

Added 10 more vintage cards for the lucky 2 to select from. Just because.

Brian

[brianp-beme]

Don't force me to add more card choices to the potential prize list...that would just be heartless of all of you.

Brian

[brianp-beme]

Should I declare the first 2 participants the winners and move on with my life? If no one else enters in the next few hours I might just do that.

Brian

[nat]

Not that I'm crazy about more competition, but I'll give Brian a bump here.

Probably just need to sell it the right way:

HEY EVERYONE!

FREE BASEBALL CARDS!

[brianp-beme]

Last gasp chance...contest entries must be in today by 6pm EST.

Just so you know, the current winning entry has 7 correct. Top their guess and you may just get a gushload of cards.

Good Luck!

Brian

[brianp-beme]

10 minutes left in contest...EGAD!

Brian

[brianp-beme]

EGAD no more...contest over. Vtgmsc was the winner with 7 correct, and Nat and Nebboy each got 6 correct on one of their guesses.

I will PM Vtgmsc to inquire which card/s he wants (either 1 HOF or 3 commons), and after he gets back to me I will contact Nat and Nebboy to find out what common they would like.

Brian...good luck everyone on bidding too.
