yearly giveaway contest: t206 bio book

so i'm done with this and found it to be pretty cool...the stories behind the photos you see from the t206 set.

going to send this away all-expenses paid to anyone interested in reading the book. only requirement is you need to post a scan of something from your CARD collection. if there's only 1 person interested in a couple days, they automatically win

i'll use www.random.org to determine winner.

to ensure there'll at least be a winner and the oft-chance i won't have to ship it anywhere...COUNT ME IN!

here's an e105 wagner throwing that i bought but never received a few years back.

I'm in for the book

Here's two for me. I just want to know why you don't ever do these giveaways with your cards...

I'm in:

ray i tried that once winner returned it...felt it wasn't worth the cost

i'll do the random thing saturday morning.

Lee, we really didn't need to see your muff. There are other forums for that

Ha,Ha...i hit the + on Jay's post.

I wanted to show something I have never shown on the board before.

Quan - I thought it was an e105 Cobb that you never got, not a wagner?

it was the wagner throwing richard. a cobby would've been sweet back then!

Since it is for a T206 book, might as well show one:

ok let's do this!

inserting names:


and presto...


hmm jeff with the late snipe wins it. thanks to all for participating.

Hey Quan, even though I didn't participate, I wanted to thank you for doing this contest. Very generous of you! Hopefully we can do this kind of stuff more often in the future.

thx Quan

The beer guy demands a recount and takes back his bribe of beer, only tea for you I guess.

Thanks for offering up the book, in a month or so I will offer one up.

actually just trying to keep the positive vibe going. i had commented on the mystery thread about the AWH caramels and the thought that they were reprinted...tim (abravefan) the author was kind enough to contact and send me a copy of the OCB issue.

alot of people still treat this as a hobby and don't need to make a big announcement or take credit when they do something good but they're out there.

Yup Quan, big thumbs up on the thread!

On the subject of books, I am about 3/4 of the way through "Crazy '08"...nicely researched and well-written account of the 1908 season. I find decent books on baseball specific to my interests hard to come by, so I'm loving this one...

I have heard only good things about "Crazy 08", for a modern book Tim Krutchen's "Is this a great game or What" is great bathroom reading.

sucks regardless. not what you want to hear, but i've seen more e105 cobbs than e105 wagner throwings. a lot more.

Quan,
The book arrived on Sat. Thanks again for the extremely nice gesture. I am going to enjoy reading it and sharing it with my son.
