Finally, this is my 1,000th post! Even though I've been a member since 2004, most of my posts have come in the past year and a half. I've enjoyed getting to know many, let's say interesting, people on this forum. It's been a blast participating in the various contests, group rips, the Christmas Exchange, and the upcoming Group Sub! For my 1,000th post, I want to try to give back to the forum that has helped me enjoy this hobby so much.
THE CONTEST:
I recently sent a bunch of cards in for the Group Sub, including these (9) 1975 Topps Minis from the most recent group rip. These cards are expected to be sent in to PSA on Saturday.
The contest is, the person who guesses the most correct grades from these nine cards, wins the prize! The tie breaker will be who was closest on all nine cards, and the tie breaker's tie breaker will be whoever posted first. If you edit your post, that will be your new time stamp. All guesses must be in by 5pm ET on December 25th, 2008. If it gets cold enough outside for hell to freeze over and our grades pop before Christmas Day, the cutoff is obviously the day before poppage (but that will never happen, just had to add that, just in case).
Here are the cards to guess:
1975 Topps Mini - #107 - Jim Barr
1975 Topps Mini - #202 - 1964 MVP's B.Robinson/K.Boyer
1975 Topps Mini - #220 - Don Sutton
1975 Topps Mini - #242 - Jay Johnstone
1975 Topps Mini - #368 - Vic Albury
1975 Topps Mini - #427 - Clarence Gaston
1975 Topps Mini - #459 - A.L. Championships
1975 Topps Mini - #505 - Chris Speier
1975 Topps Mini - #522 - Gary Sutherland
I'm fully expecting some of these cards to come back with an OC, PM, or MC qualifier. I'm letting the chips fall where they may.
THE PRIZE
A year and a half before Enos Slaughter passed away in 2002, I read that he was coming to a local card show in Canton, Ohio. I wanted to pick something up for him to sign, so I bought this high gloss 8x10 photo on ebay from a professional photographer who owned the original negative and printed the photos in his studio. The photo is from 1958 when he played with the Yankees. I later took the photo to the card show and had it signed. It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, dated February 25, 2001.
Thank you to everyone who has made these first 1,000 posts enjoyable for me, and here's to the next 1,000!!

<< <i>Are you requesting NQ on the grades? >>
Nope, I'm letting it ride. I know some of them will come back with qualifiers. That's fine by me, I just want to see some results! So far, all of the guesses are about what I was expecting. I have no delusions of outstanding grades, especially how PSA is with these Minis. One can only wish for some luck though! Thanks for the guesses so far! Keep them coming!
