Perhaps Im wrong and I just completely missed the mark like everyone else.

He was doing all of that and selling 19 items for less than $75 and that was some big situation to sell items to make out like a bandit? Maybe I am totally missing it too.

No, its $451. Check out the thread on the other board. Im still confused though.

ok, like I said....I figured I was missing something. No, $451 isn't as good of a deal.

Okay, clearly not one of my better ideas for a contest. In the simplest possible terms, the winner won the right to purchase the following items for $73.45 delivered (approximately $40 net after shipping). I'll let you be the judge if that's a good deal or not.

7 1953 World Series Program (signed by Ford Frick)
31 1959 World Series Program
34 1961 Cincinnati Reds NL pennant glass
38 1971 American League Program
40 1971 NLCS Program
42 1971 World Series Program
45 1977 American League pocket schedule
47 1979 World Series Program
48 1993 Colorado Rockies inaugural baseball
49 Italian baseball player figurine
50 Robert Merrill's Brooklyn Baseball Cantata LP record
52 1955 Greatest Moments in Sports LP record
53 1970's Joe Morgan button
54 Lot of 5 vintage baseball books
59 Stan Musial autographed/personalized photo (w/ wife)

Keep in mind that the winner always reserved the right to pass on the deal if they didn't like what they won.

Not sure how many folks would be willing to give away a lot like that for basically nothing.

At any rate, I"ll cool it with contests until I have something to truly give away for free. Sorry, folks!
