Default poll added please vote
I just added a 10 minute poll to this thread. Once those approx 10 minutes are up then a decision will be made on the rest of the contest

edited to add I am giving the poll until about 11:40am CST....the majority will win the decision and then we can resume the contest....

Default one last thing
Maybe we should take a poll on how long people will continue guessing since the contest has been over?

Barry, I think Leon should have another contest to guess what flavor the G&B gum was. I'm going with Tutti Frutti.

Hi Leon. Sorry, I was out for a few hours.

Nope, didn't look at the ACC. I did a few searches online and found a newspaper article (the first one posted here). I figured they had the right initials, were from NY, and if they'd been enterprising enough to get up an illegal lottery scheme, well, then they'd be just the type of fellows to try inserting baseball cards a few years later.

When I saw I'd won, I went back to try to find the darn article. I stumbled on another article (the second one posted here), and it has the correct spelling of their names.

Both are from March 2, 1884. No. 1 from the New York Sun. No. 2 from the New York Daily Tribune.

Jamie
