new Storefront (Belltown Vintage Cards): Contest

[HRBAKER]

I believe there is also a photo that refers to Lefty O'Doul as a HOFer, which I believe to be incorrect.

GREAT store Scott, good luck with it!

Thanks, Jeff.

The photo prints section contains some excellent photos at fair prices. And I don't lie.

For the record, I know Scott but have no stake of any kind in his venture and he has not asked me to post anything about his site. Just thought I'd offer my opinion as a so-called photo expert, in particular as my folks on Net54 are unfamiliar with the ins and outs of photographs.

Great stuff Scott, Congrats!!

Nice stuff, Scott. That image of Tris Speaker from '21 is an absolute gem!

Thanks for all the kind words. Graig, if you want hi-res images of any of the photos, just let me know.

I've finally come up with a 'grand opening' giveaway contest, and rather than being a thread hog, I'm going to use this thread to run it (thus, the thread title change). Even though my store has 'Cards' in the title, I'm giving away photos, for no good reason other than that I have a couple that I'm not doing anything with, or selling.

Guess the winner, total points and score of the AFC championship game:

1. Guess winning team and score.
2. 1st tie-breaker: Total points
3. 2nd tie-breaker: Point differential;e.g-Denver beats N.E. 35-31 and you guess 38-28, point differential=6. If you guessed N.E. beats Denver 35-31, point differential=0, but you wouldn't have gotten to this tie-breaker, because you guessed the wrong teams
4. 3rd tie-breaker: This is weird, but - point differential between your birthday (day/month) and the final game-score, where 'day' represents the winner.

1st prize is your choice of the two 11 x 14 silver gel prints from 'the Conlon Collection', shown below. 2nd prize is whichever one the 1st prize winner doesn't take. These listed originally at $149 (Mathewson) and $99 (Baker) when I bought them just after 'the Conlon Collection' store opened. I took them out of their wrappers once to loupe, then put them away, so they are mint. I saw the 'Rhoades Throwing' sold for $88 in a 2011 Mears auction, so they are considered pretty nice by some collectors. I have the 'Rhoades Throwing' and will get it framed at some point, along with some of the other Conlon action shots that are being sold on 'the Conlon Collection' website.

Scott <=== not above plugging others, so to speak.

Please post your entries in this thread - only one entry, but you can edit it up until game-time next weekend. Obviously, it behooves you to wait until the teams are determined this weekend, but...

My edited guess - Patriots over Broncos 35-31

Thanks for the contest!
