Brockelman Auction contest with vintage card prizes - Ends Saturday 9/14
 
2 Attachment(s)
I wasn't planning on running a contest this time, but the contest creating bug struck this morning so here's a rushed little effort to tantalize the chosen few who dare to participate in my efforts.

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 will focus on the lots that currently (at this writing) do not have a bid placed. Your guess will try to identify the three lots (from the below partial list of lots currently without bids) you think I consigned.


192
260
264
256
304
542
558
560
561
563
564
666
667
671
672
680
724
776
811
826
841
849


An example of your guess would be as follows:

283
527
565 (which would be a failed guess because all 3 are NOT on above list)


The winner will be the person who identifies the most correctly, and in case of a tie, the guesser who guessed first wins.

Unlike previous contests I have held, you are allowed only one guess (consisting of 3 lot #'s), with no edits on your post allowed. All guesses need to be posted by 8pm EST on Saturday, September 14th, the same night that the auction closes.

The prize is as follows: The top guesser gets his choice of 1 card from the HOF cards seen in the first scan below, AND 2 cards from the second scan.


Good Luck!

Brian

Just realize that if you are the first to participate, and get zero correct, you still have the chance to be the winner if... a.) no one else guesses, or b.) everyone else who guesses also gets none correct.

Be brave, and I suggest quick, my contest warriors.

561, 563, and 564

A really cool item without a bid yet is 653. Sadly all the low level minor league teams left our area before I could go watch them. Cool to see an old local program though.:)

I'll try

192 (Scanlons Live in Vain)
256
264

. . . and you got me to bid on one that I'd previously overlooked, so well played!

There's going to be a reminder or two about the contest because of the short time span to participate.

Do so now or forever hold your piece of peace.

Keep them coming...this contest (as a reminder, I have no affiliation with Brockelman Auctions besides being a consignor) ends tonight at 8pm EST, before the official closing time of the auction.

Good Luck!

Based on the groupings of the choices, I'm guessing yours were listed in order 'received' (or perhaps they're the same type of cards, so are naturslly listed consecutively, etc.), thus (assuming some of yours had already gotten bids) I'm taking a swing with this trio:

667

Thanks to all who participated. The winner is....

bnorth

There were a total of 4 participants that got 1 correct, but Mr. bnorth was the first to do so.

Hopefully the rest of you won a lot or two or a few to make up for not winning this contest.

Until next time (if I decide to do so again),

Brian
