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

[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?

I don't know how I missed this one! I will play. Here is my offer/buy in.

I probably bought this one from Iggyman on ebay a while back. It no longer fits what I am trying to do with my T206 collection.

I guess cash is king. So, is this game over? I know my Gasper is not pretty, but has great color!

Iggyman, I thought it was a good idea, but 40 posts vs. 2,163 views! I am disappointed in the members on this one. Good idea, little love!

This thread is medically D.O.A. Perhaps it would have blossomed, if from the beginning I would have enticed the members with better cards, but with the benefit of hindsight, I'm not sure that would have worked either. It started out as a great idea, but what do I know...........after all, in the early 80's I actually thought the latest Starship album was worth buying, and to this day, feel somewhat responsible for making "we built this city" a number one hit .

Lovely day...

This game has been played before...and the problem lies in people taking nicer/more valuable cards and replacing them with crap...that nobody wants...which inevitably happens. Just my opinion!

Maybe setting a dollar amount for a card to be worth would help?

We built this city is an ok song...but I wouldn't buy the album for it!

B18 Coveleski -> W572 Bush -> W517 Kelly -> W514 Bancroft -> [T213 Lennox + 33 Goudey Connally] -> Ferrell -> 33 Goodey Bottomley -> 33 Goodey Kamm -> W516-2-2 Milan

33 Goudey Connally (from above) -> E90 Heitmuller

R310 Gehringer -> R313 Simmons -> T201 Stovall/Turner -> E91-C McBride

T206 Arndt -> [T206 Becker + T206 Manning]

T206 Gasper

So, if I have it right, there are currently five "lots" available:
W516-2-2 Milan
E90 Heitmuller
E91-C McBride
T205 Becker and T206 Manning
T206 Gasper

I suggest we make this an annual game, ending each New Year.

Net54 has been like finding Mecca for me, with so many good people teaching me to be better.

In this thread, in particular, thanks to:
Frank, for his good-will,
Erick and Brian, for their generosity, and
Peter, for his cynical but healthy dose of reality
[with which I'll only 99% agree, being a hard-nosed romantic, myself].

I'm going to offer this '52 Topps Snider as a replacement for my crappy Heitmuller and Milan [which together were of equal value, I believed, to what I thought I was getting, but which, as I look at them now, don't look very desirable]. I know this Snider is desirable as I've had a few inquiries about it. Frankly, I offer it as some tribute to Iggy's past generosity, and hopefully to renew the game.
