1950-1969 Baseball Collection--1 HR AWAY OMG!

Well, it's been a long strange trip on this auction, but hopefully the bumpiest part of the ride happens the last hour. Thanks to all who participated in the contests, sent out (3) prizes and one to go. Currently sits at $760 so a lot of people are still in the chase for the final prize.

    1st prize goes to who guesses the closest amount to the final selling price. (You may go over)

    Have until Sunday to submit/edit your final #. Again, this is a shameless promotion so participants beware!

    Can't sleep, so I bid to bump up the price. Nice stuff, good luck with it!
  • Why the yellow background? With the Red borders. IMO hard to look at.

    Alright, here is tonight's contest to shamelessly and I mean shamelessly, promote my current auction on the 'Bay (that will make or break my chances to turn my hobby into a full-time career move!).

    Before I offer the prize question, let me first fully disclose the prize winnings to CU winner (assuming anyone makes the effort!) which, while not paltry, will not allow anyone to retire early! Anyway, they are all pictured but allow me to clarify the prize choices:

    1) Dem Bums DVD (Brooklyn Dodgers--Sealed)
    2) Jackie Robinson Story DVD (Sealed)
    3) 2003 Boston Red Sox World Series Champs (Sealed)
    4) 10 packs of sealed/unopened 1989 Donruss Packs
    5) 10 blank auto cards (TTM)

    I may, or maybe not, offer other alternatives for winners but they probably won't exceed market value of $10 (after shipping). Again, a big part of this thread is to shamelessly promote my auction although my other motives are to make the hobby more interactive/pormote good will.

    The only requirement is that you tell your friends about this auction (if you want) and to PM me your address if you win... Thanks, Pat

    Anyway, enough of the b.s., here is the question: There are three (3) early Bowman cards in my listing, respond to this post with the following info, ALL 3 required!!!!

    1) Player Name (First, Last)
    2) Team
    3) Position
    4) Card #
    5) State of Birth

    All info is required!!!!!!!! Reply to this post if you think you have it all. Good Luck!

    Okay, another bid guesser (which is just fine) but nobody on tonight's quiz. My prediction goes to the"Goose" guy.

    Auction sells for $900.00 - cool cards!
  • ddfamfddfamf Posts: 507 ✭✭
    Aaron's position should be RF, to be a bit clearer
  • MintacularMintacular Posts: 1,138 ✭✭✭
    Wrong, I am referring to the earliest Bowman's (the small guys...)
  • csmtampacsmtampa Posts: 1,828
    I see the Bowman your talking about, but there in a soft sleeve with half the card covered. They look like 51's or 52's.
  • MintacularMintacular Posts: 1,138 ✭✭✭
    I mean, I'm not just going to give stuff away w/o a bit of effort! Anyone can ID Stengels, Aaron's etc. (no offense).

    Takes a bit of sleuthing. Oh well, maybe my expectations are too high. I was under the impression that the PSA board members were the creme of the crop in terms of collecting...

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    Currently at $361.99 with 34 watches and 11 bids placed. Would offer another auction but only one guy truly responded to my first one, the other one hasn't PM'ed me his address. I guess the prize winnings just aren't tasty enough. Oh well. Got to go, there's a Pens game about to start!

    Thanks again, Pat ...great contest and terrific DVD.

    Would assume you are being sarcastic, oh well. Anyway, my ass is on the line with this one. If it falls short I am toast. But so far, so good. I definitely won't do a 10-day auction again way too long for everyone involved.

    Hey Mint...

    Can you tell me why that #201 Crosby is worth so much?

    thanks
