Tired of all the drama -- Time for a contest for some free stuff!!!
Frankly, I'm tired of the multiple posts about the ongoing drama(here and other forums) and just want to enjoy the hobby. So it's time to give away the lot of cards below. Cubs/Cards have a series coming up this weekend in Chicago. I'm looking for the total runs scored between the two teams in the three games that are scheduled. As usual, any postponed games don't count and if a game is suspended, only the runs scored during the innings played are included. As a tiebreaker, also guess the number of batters hit by pitch, there will be in the series. As always, cards are free, shipping is free!! Guesses must be posted by 1pm central time on Friday June 7th. Good luck to all!!
Just as background for the cards....
1 Torres/Soto - I purchased from Topps and subbed myself
2 The Waller was in a PSA 8 st holder. I removed wax and resubbed
3 Stottlemyre was pulled for me fresh from a pack I won in a contest on Vintage Breaks. Subbed by me
4 Wallach was hand cut by me from a 1988 Fleer wax box bottom(thought it was much nicer than a 5)
5 Frazer has a stanky tilt/cut to it but is sharp otherwise
6 Burris came fresh from a pack and I still have no idea how it's only an 8

I could draw that many myself in high school. When you can't hit a curveball, you've got to get creative to have an .700+ OBP.

It's 3 pretty good pitching matchups this weekend. That being said, there is almost always at least one game between the Cubs and Cards that you expect to be low scoring that is anything but.
17 runs after the first two games. Lots of folks still in the running!! Hendricks v Waino matchup on Sunday. Let's see what happens!!
Come oooooonnn, 1-0 shut out!!!
Andy
Looks like you nailed it in both categories!! Congratulations!
PM me your name/address and I'll get your cards out tomorrow!
Thanks to everyone involved and be on the lookout for my next contest!
Congrats @Gilbey !
