Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

Yup, another giveaway! TomGshotput IS THE WINNER!!!

But... I'm not gonna make this one easy! You must answer some trivia! Whomever gets the most correct answers wins! If there are multiple people who get the most correct answers, I'll pick a winner at random. Answer the most of the following correctly and you win a 1949 Bowman high-number card. It's #191 Jow Haynes, and it's graded PSA 4. Book on the 5 is $30.00 I think.. So I figure this is a $15.00 card (ish).

1) Who is my all-time favorite player?
2) What are the two main sets I'm collecting?
3) What's my favorite snack?
4) What is my all-time favorite card?
5) Did I think the Sox would pull off the WS win last year?
6) How many cards do I have in my 1949 Bowman set?
7) What is my dream card (money-aside)
8) What's my ebay ID?
9) When am I getting married?
10) I busted a case of 86 Topps a while back.. how many Ryan's did I pull?

Good luck all!!

  • Okay guys, its done! Couple things:

    -- Piman58's response came after 8PM so it doesnt count. (Sorry man)
    -- WinPitcher, my original post said, "Contest runs till 8PM Eastern tomorrow (2/21)"
    -- Rube, technically, you're correct.. I never said only one guess per person, so I'll allow your second entry in which you got five correct.

    3) What's my favorite snack? Twinkies
    4) What is my all-time favorite card? 1949 Bowman Bobby Doerr
    5) Did I think the Sox would pull off the WS win last year? Actually (Perk, please dont kill me) I was unsure. So the answer was "maybe"
