ENDED - Winners Announced for Brockelman Auction Contest w/vintage card prizes

[brianp-beme]

Brockelman Auction contest time is here again for the auction that ends this Saturday, and you have the chance to score some vintage cards.


The auction: http://www.brockelmanauctions.com/catalog.aspx


Another great auction with a ton of variety...I counted 65 different card sets represented just in the PreWW2 section. The lots for your consideration for this contest all fall within the PreWW2 category. Below are the 30 lot #'s for your review:

138
141
142
146
154
156
160
176
177
183


You will need to guess 10 of these lot numbers that I consigned to the auction. An example guess of lot numbers would be as follows:

709
827
747
769
789
717
819
809
837
839

The above guess would not be valid, not only because these lot numbers are not from the list of 30 I posted above, but also they do not exist in the auction.


Your goal is to guess more correctly (in comparison to your fellow Net54'er) the lots that I consigned to the auction. In case of a tie, the first guesser is the top winner.


The prizes are as follows: Top guesser gets one HOF card from the first scan, and two cards from the 2nd scan. The runner up will get one card from the 2nd scan, after the top guesser makes his selection, of course.

If in the fairly unlikely event that the top guesser gets all 10 correct, they can instead choose the Diamond Stars Foxx, which really just needs a good soaking to be an overall real nice looking card.

The rundown on prize cards available:

- First scan -

T202 end panel Frank Baker
W590 Eddie Collins
W551 Dave Bancroft
W515 Red Faber
W517 Paul Waner
W573 Zack Wheat
Diamond Stars KiKi Cuyler

- 2nd scan -

1941 Double Play Moore/Mancuso
W514 McCarthy
Callahan Pennock
C46 Stilton
Diamond Stars Berger
1934 Goudey Tinning
1953 Bowman Loes
E121-120 Series Griffith
E120 Smith
1936 Goudey Werber
W519 Barnes
1950 Bowman football Stone

- 3rd + 4th scans -

Diamond Stars Jimmie Foxx


You are allowed two guesses of 10, with no edits. All guesses need to be posted by 5pm EST on Saturday, June 19th, the same day the auction closes.

Good Luck!

All three guessers so far have used perfect format for the guesses...thanks. And one of the three is the current leader!

Just a reminder, everyone is allowed 2 sets of guesses, and they can be contained in one post or two. Just no edits.

My 'mistake' was meant as a birthday tribute to you. Actually, thanks Steve...I think about half of the time on these contests I mess up the date. This time it was just in the title.

Great to see the various guesses roll in. Currently there is a tie for most correct...of course the person who posted first is the current top prize winner, and the other person currently gets the consolation prize. So I suggest you get your two group of guesses in as fast as is humanly possible.

Also the contest ends tomorrow at 5pm EST, so you've got that deadline to keep in mind. And don't forget taxes were due just over a month ago.

As a reminder you get two 'group of 10' guesses. Most people so far have posted two, but 5 folks have only posted one group. You double your chances with that second guess. You know who you are.

But in case you don't know who you are, here are the current members of the infamous "1 group of guesses only" club:

Final night for the Brockelman Auction, which of course prompts me to post this final contest reminder...get your guesses in by 5pm EST.

At some dang time after that I will announce the two winners who, in the future, after the involvement of the postal service, will be adding some cardboard to their existing cardboard stashes.

Contest is over...thanks to all who participated. Here are the two winners, who each had 7 correct.

slipk1068 - winner of one HOF card from scan 1, and two cards from scan 2.

obcbobd - winner of one card from scan 2 (after slipk1068 has chosen his cards).


I will be contacting the winners shortly by PM.

Good luck everyone bidding in the Brockelman Auction tonight!

Many thanks to Brian for running this totally unsolicited contest for each of my auctions.

Many cards going strong tonight, a few unopened bargains yet, and a few others below the radar.

Take a look you just might find something of interest!

It's true, in fact Scott has never mentioned the contest to me until now. I just like his format, and I like providing a little fun and sharing some vintage card love with fellow Net54 members.

Here's to a great auction, and may it be a big success.
