Default Winners Announced - Brockelman Auction contest w/vintage card prizes..ended March 4th

The Brockelman Auction contest is back again for the auction that ends this Saturday, and you have the chance to score some vintage cards as seen in the scans at the bottom of this post.


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


This time the contest has a series of have/have not consigned questions. Let's jump right into those questions you will need to answer:

Question 1 - Grover Cleveland (Pete) Alexander, HOF pitcher extraordinaire, is identified by name in the title of 5 different lots in the auction. What is the lot # of the one I consigned?

Question 2 - Which lot that has W514 card(s) in it did I consign (W514 lot numbers range from 200 to 247).

Question 3 - When viewing the auction on the website, you have the option to change the setting to view 100 auction lots per page. Thus when doing so there are 8 pages, as seen in the ranges below:

1-100, 101-200, 201-300, 301-400, 401-500, 501-600, 601-700, 701-741

Identify which of the above auction lot ranges that I DID NOT consign anything. To make things just slightly easier, I did not consign anything in the 701-741 lot number range, so don't even think of making this your answer, because you will not get credit for answering correctly.

Question 4 - Which of these vintage card groups did I consign: Lot # 65, 89, 103, 105, 129.

Question 5 - Which of these lots that have "Joe" in the title I DID NOT consign: Lot # 70, 91, 117, 214.

Question 6 - Which of these graded cards did I consign: Lot # 100, 134, 148, 149, 190.


Your goal is to answer the above 6 questions more correctly than your fellow Net54'ers. In the case of a tie, the first guesser is the top winner.

An example of the format of what your 6 answers should look like is as follows (the below answers would get you a big fat ZERO correct):

1) 202
2) 923
3) 801-900
4) 151
5) 44
6) 376

The prizes are as follows: The top guesser gets his choice of 1 card from the first four scans seen below (back and front images of HOF player cards), and 3 cards from the following four scans (non-HOF players), or instead can choose two HOF cards (one PreWW2, the other Postwar). The runner up will get 1 card from the HOF'er group and 1 card from the non-HOF group, after the top guesser has made his choices.

You are allowed two total guesses, with no edits. All guesses need to be posted by 8pm EST on Saturday, March 4th, the same night that the auction closes. Good Luck!

Brian

Oh wow - thanks because of this post I went back and was looking over the auction again and found a card I’ve been loving for for a long time. I wouldn’t have ever got a bid placed if not for your contest, Thanks

Definitely one of the main reasons for these contests...it is always a fine thing to remind the good folks of Net54 that there is a world of vintage up for grabs in these auctions. And personally it is fun to distribute some of my rundown old stuff upon those who appreciate it.

Also...contest ends 8pm EST tomorrow. Get your two sets of guesses in!

Brian
