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!!
