Net54 "Buy One Give One Free" Contest -Game Back On

[iggyman]

Most (okay all) of my threads die quickly, I'm really not sure why, perhaps it's my accent or the fact that I slept through twelve grade English class, but I think I finally have a winner . As Macho Man would say......Ohhhhhh Yeah!

Annual B.O.G.O.F. Net54 Contest

Here are the strict rules to the newly commissioned annual Net54 December "Buy One Give One Free" contest.

Rule #1. Prewar card is offered by thread starter (me!). Any prewar card or anything close to a card will do!

Rule #2. Prewar card is claimed by another Net54 member (you!). In the event that multiple people claim the same card, the first one to claim the card in this thread is declared the new owner.

Rule #3. Offered card is mailed for free with no strings attached to the claimer, but only when the claimer offers another prewar card for free in this thread.

Rule #4. Repeat steps 1 2 & 3 until December 31th 11:59 p.m. Pacific time or until you grow tired of playing. You can play multiple times or even less.

NET54 disclaimer: Net54 or anyone associated with Net54 is not responsible for any lost cards or unseen disagreements. Oh, and forgive me, if this has been done before, but I'm way too lazy to use the search function; plus, what would I search for anyway?


Okay, lets start the contest.


Hear Yea, Hear Yea! I have a 1934 R310 BUTTERFINGER Charley Gehringer to offer (*). Two of the corners are clipped, but otherwise a nice card with no creases. Comes with the fancy holder as show in the pic. Anybody want to play and claim this card? It really needs a new home but don't forget to read step 3.

* I also have a 1914 B18 Blankets Coveleski which can be substituted for the Gehringer.

Lovely Day...

Lovely Day...

Great idea Iggyman...I will let someone else snag this cool card but will no doubt participate in the future.

Brian

No need to squelch Iggy...squelching is for squealing squid squishers. If no one has claimed one of the above items this evening (I just don't collect bigger card-like structures), I will post a smaller size card to get this thing rolling. Sometimes a thing just needs to fester for a while before people jump on the ooze train.

Brian

[t206hound]

I'm with Brian on this... while neither of those cards interest me, I'm more than willing to participate. I've got a T205 common that I picked up in a lot recently that I'll post on this thread tonight.

[FrankWakefield]

Well I don't know if this deal is a go, or not...

I'd like the Coveleski B18. If it is available, post here to let me know, and email me at fwakefield1@comcast.net and I'll get an address to you.

Then, I'll offer this W572 of Joe Bush... 1923.




Frank.

I am with you guys. I was definitely going to play but since I post so often I was just giving it some time. Looked like a fun game. Hopefully Iggy will un-squelch it. I do know how it is to not get responses but that is just the way the board is sometimes. Many members only like the negative stuff or like to say their little one-liners while being jerks. The rest of us like to have fun. C'mon Iggy.....

S-Q-U-E-L-C-H is a great Scrabble word.

My question was based on Rule #4 that states that it is ended.

[dougscats]

I wasn't aware of Rule 4, Andy, so you have a point.

On the other hand, I'm not tired of playing the game.
But maybe I'm being too equivocal, mincing words with that interpretation [It could well be contrary to Iggy's intention].
Anyway, whatever you decide is fine with me.

Doug

[FrankWakefield]

Doug, I posted 2 cards in post #22. Brian claimed both of them in post #23, and I've already mailed him both some time ago. I'm sure he has them by now. They were a 'bundle', I offered 2 cards 'cause I felt I got a good deal on the one I claimed... Sorry. Frank.

[brianp-beme]

Thanks Frank I received the Connally and T213-2 card. I really just wanted the T213-2, so, Doug, the Connally is yours. Just email me your shipping address and I will send it your way.

People, still some cool cards available on this cool thread...

Brian

[dougscats]

Thanks, Brian, for the Connally; that was generous of you.
Shall we keep on playing?
Is there any interest?
[I have some lower-grade T205's and 206's, Goudey Hall of Famers, too, that I'll be willing to trade for some card that catches my fancy].
I'll leave my two offerings out there if you want to keep on playing.

What say, Iggyman: Did it expire with 2011? Or, Shall the game be renewed?
