Predict the day I receive my grades and win a prize....WE HAVE POPPAGE!

I don't submit very often but when I do I get anxious to get the grades back. So I've decided to offer up something to pass the time. Whoever comes closest to predicting the day I receive my grades will win a prize. The prize is undetermined, I will have to look through my stuff tonight and choose something. You must be closest without going past the date, i.e. it's like the Price is Right, you can't go over.

In the event that one or more people correctly predict the day, I will employ a tiebreaker, which is this: predict the number of PSA 8's I receive in this 50 card submission. The person closest to that number will win the tiebreaker. In the event you get the tiebreaker number exactly right, you will win a second prize.

Ok, here are the details about my submission: it was a 50 card submission received by PSA on 12/22 under the Nov./Dec. special. Mostly 1954, 57, and 61 Topps, with a few other years sprinkled in. Pick the day you think grades will be posted and how many PSA 8's will result.

Have fun!

Edited to add: After seeing the nice prizes that stown handed out in his contest, I am upping the ante and will award multiple prizes to the winner!

    PSA 8s - none - all trimmed or recolored.

    just kidding! My guess is 3 PSA 8s.

    Best of luck on your long awaited sub to pop.

    Ron,

    Hope you find out soon and get the grades you want.

    I'll guess your grades will come in on 1/22/07 and there will be 4 PSA 8's.

    Hi guys, I went through some of my stuff last night some of the prize options will include a vintage (pre-70) hall of famer, possibly one of the better Topps traded sets, and who knows, maybe even some football or basketball stuff.

    MarkJ111 has been eliminated with his prediction of 1/12. Next on the clock is stown, with his prediction of today, 1/16.

    Feel free to continue predicting. I've selected the prize and it will be a nice vintage card from the 50's of a Hall of Famer (not a "lower tier" HOF'er, either such as Kell, Fox, etc.). I might throw in a graded common or two from the 50's or 60's as well.

    stown has unfortunately been eliminated and lawnmowerman is now at the plate with his prediction of 1/17. Several guys are on deck with their 1/18 predictions. Still taking your predictions if you would like to make them.
