WOW! We were up through the night kalculating the results and all the last minute entries! It has been a very exciting kontest and thanks to all who kontended.

First we thought it would be fun to go through the questions and provide possible akceptble answers along with some answers provided by the kontestants:


1) Why is the '70 Kellogg's set considered a VINTAGE set and not a modern set? (Answer in 30 words or less)

A: Really, any answer here would do. We were looking for facts or originality, and no one really got it wrong.

Some of the more "original" answers were:

"LSD is considered a 'vintage' drug and it was popular in 1970...so the card must be also."

"It is vintage because you and thegemmintman say it is!!!!!"



2) Who is the Dark Evil Force trying to disrupt the '70 Kellogg's Utopian Society?

A: Vic, Davalillo, Vic Davalillo,and Darth Vic were all akceptable answers. Only one person got this wrong, and we shall get back to that later in the thread.



3) Which Kellogg's Kollector should you always sell your One of One '70 Kellogg's PSA 10's to?

A: Gemmint OR Zardoz are both akceptable answers, and almost everyone had this korrect. One kontestant was very klever and responded, "ZardoMintman". He received bonus points for that but got nearly everything else inkorrect.



4) What is the official drink of the '70 Kellogg's set?

A: Koolaid, Specific Koolaid Flavors, and Vodka Koolaid are all akceptable answers. Most kontestants responded akkurately, but there were a kouple of "Milk" answers. YUCK!!



5) When someone announces that they started kollecting the '70 Kellogg's set, which TWO fictional characters greet that kollector on the Registry Board?

We kan't believe that NO ONE got this kompletely korrect. Only one kontestant kould even deskribe the TWO fiktional charakters with any akkuracy, and that was Basilone. Of kourse he kouldn't name either of them so I had to deduct more points from his skore.

A: The answers are "The Koolaid Man" (only akceptable answer for that charakter), and the "Kellogg's Karnival Rocker" or "Kellogg's Rocker" or "Koolaid Rocker" or "Kellogg's Koolaid Rocker" are all akceptable variations for the other charakter. We kan't believe how many people answered "Tony the Tiger". Tony only made like one appearance all this time, and he works in Kellogg's Korporate Headkorters so he rarely greets the folks.

Here they are guys:

    Wasn't one winner also promised a lock of Elvis' hair? Elvis was an integural part of the Kellogg's fame and mystique. He spent many late nights on Kellogg's binges putting together sets as he completed box after box of cereal, then as a nightcap, he had those fried banana and peanut butter sandwhiches...jay

    Just for grins, how many entries were received?

    Maybe we can shame Dav. into a similar contest for what he calls "vintage cards". image
    Sounds like he will soon have a bunch of extra 52 Topps laying around....They should do.

    I would like to take this time to thank god, my mom, by best friend mike, my 5th grade math teacher, a special thanks to Anne Gilbert - the first girl who let me get to second base, my dog Shade, F. Murray Abraham, the Pope, and of coarse all of the grrrrrrrrrrrreat guys in the Kellogg's Klub.

    Gemmint and Zardoz-

    Thank You very much the card...it is a great honor. At this time I would like to thank my wife for not minding those bubble envelopes and trying to understand my obsession, my parents for buying me those rack-packs from Kay-Bee in the late 70's, my old beat up bright orange Nike box that held my first cards...and Jay Wolt of Qualitycards who has been a mentor to me in this wild world of vintage PSA (although he not quite sold on the whole Kellogg's thing).

    As an accountant I would expect nothing less than to be "MOST AKKURATE OVERALL".....where detail is everything....thats why you never hear about any scandals in my profession !! imageimageimageimage

    Thanks again guys,

    John Basilone
  • thegemmintmanthegemmintman Posts: 3,101 ✭✭
    Basilone - Kongrats!

    The grading of the questions were all audited by Ex Arthur Anderson employees so I'm sure they're kompletely akkurate image.

    Pinhigh, did you submit an entry? I don't remember seeing one from you, but if you did let me know.

  • DavalilloDavalillo Posts: 1,846 ✭✭
    Ian,

    If it takes me until my last day on this planet, I will make sure you pay for this.

    Gemmint - Why I most certainly entered the contest. In fact, it was a short time after you announced it and I felt, now seeing your answers, that I did quite well. Of course, I did not completely answer question #5 correctly.

    Pinhigh, I trust you so send a copy of your e-mail again to "Zardoz51@aol.com". If it's up to snuff (which I'm sure it is since you follow everything Gemmint says so closely image) we'll send you a K Kard PSA 9.

    Thank You, K Klub
  • pinhighpinhigh Posts: 185
    Gemmint - I re-sent the email to Zardoz. Thank you for your faith in me and of course, I follow everything you say - it is hard not to. A nice Clemente example would do just fine. image

    Gemmintman -- I demand a recount. I cry foul!!!

    Davalillo -- Stay away from Ian. He is the proud owner of the world's best 1987 WWF wrestling set. I bet you that his Jimmy Superfly Snuka, Hillbilly Jim and Hulk Hogan cards can easily beat up any trio of Willie, Mickey and the Duke that you put together.

    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
  • thegemmintmanthegemmintman Posts: 3,101 ✭✭
    Schmidty, there will be no rekount for you. You gave your answers in open publik, and as interesting as they were, they were inkorrect.

    I do agree with your WWF analogy though.

    I think it's only fitting that Seventray be our Seventh winner!

    Seventray is of kourse Pinhigh. It was a very kommendable and akkurate set of answers.

    I particularly like his answer as to why the '70 Kellogg's set is a vintage set,

    "What better way to answer this question than to quote Gemmint himself. 'It's a 32 year old set. It's VINTAGE.'"

    Kongrats to Pinhigh!

    You deserve it Pinhigh. I really have no idea what happened to your original e-mail. Perhaps Zardoz's e-mail system blew a gasket from the heavy response to the kontest image.
  • riccaboniriccaboni Posts: 454 ✭
    Ha, Hogan could take Mays, Mantle, and Snyder on a bad day image

    I guess those guys were not exactly wrestlers though... Finishing up the WWF set soon with this new special!

    Zardoz and Gemmint - I received my card yesterday and just wanted to thank you, although I do think there was some mix up in which card I was to receive (just kidding - you guys are too generous). I have been going through a tough time the past two weeks and I may find that the Kellogg's card is the only card I have in the near future. Would've been nice if it was the Clemente. image

    Pinhigh, we're happy that you like the card. The 3-D effect should do wonders for you.
