So about three weeks ago I sold this card on Ebay......1960 Duke Snider Never got paid, now the bidder is NARU'd. Hooray!
Well, rather than relist it I figured, why not just give it away? It's a decent card, nice corners, some print issues, but what the heck, it's FREE you greedy bastiges!
Now on to the contest!
In about 10 minutes I'm heading to the bowling alley to practice. I'm going to bowl three games..... real simple guess my TOTAL 3 game score. Closest without going over wins. You get ONE guess.
Now for your lane jockeys, this is DUCKPINS, which has much lower scoring. Shorter pins, smaller ball. No one has ever thrown a 300 game, 100 would be a good score for someone who never bowled it before, but I've been bowling Ducks' for about 18 years so......
My current average is 135, personal best high single is 228, high set is 529. In the past 18 years of bowling duckpins I have never bowled UNDER 300 for a 3 game set...(thank God, i'd have to kill myself immediately) So guess accordingly.
I'll announce the winner after supper time tonight....
and NO you can't touch my Bobblehead.

pretty good set, threw mostly spares, only 4 strikes, but I did have 9 marks in the last game (7 in a row to finish off the game)
Congrats to JJWorm, you are the Winner! The 1960 Duke Snider is yours!
GoRaiders was SOOO close with 466, but JJ pulled a classic price is right move and overbid by one dollar! I feel your pain, so your gonna get something too, as a bowler I hate losing by a damn pin!
I'll be PM'ng you two shortly.
Thanks for playing....

Leo, being a bowler myself (a real bowler not duckpin) I was in tune with the path your scores would go on today. I may have missed the exact total, but I was all over the path of your games.
I was impressed with your psychic tuning into my scores. Typically my first game is my best game, followed by a bit of a letdown, then a ramp up for the last game.
However, I take umbrage with your comments!~ Is this to be a challenge?.....as such, if you ever make it down to Rhode Island or Massachusetts, or CT (where you can find Duckpin bowling) I would love to you see you try to bowl it LOL. I know few "ten-pinners" that have much success their first time out, I'd let you have a few games to practice.
I will obviously bow to your greatness in that thing you do (with the large balls and the hole
