Guess the Card Contest #2!!!

**fyretiger** · 12-09-2008, 05:29 AM

APPROVED BY TURD FERGUSON

I've been trying to thin out some of my collection and I wanted a fun way to do it, so since Christmas is right around the corner, I've decided to run a series of contests. This way, everyone can participate, and I can give back to the wonderful SCF community =) Even if you don't win this one, check back later for the next one because I'll keep them going one after another.

So here are the rules:

I've got my eye on a specific card scanned in my bucket (Turd Ferguson knows which one I'm thinking of, so I guarantee that I won't be changing the answer). The first person to correctly identify the card on my mind wins a mystery prize package (will include an auto and/or GU).

Every guess has to be clear. If you put "Lincecum auto", this will not count because I have multiple Lincecum autos in my bucket. A clearer guess would be "Tim Lincecum 2007 Bowman Chrome X-Fractor auto", or you can just post the link to the scan if you don't know what year/product the card is from. If I can't figure out what specific card you're talking about, your guess will be ignored. If you are posting a scan with multiple cards on it, you must identify which card you are talking about.

This contest is open to all members at one guess per calendar day. Please note that the days will go according to Pacific Standard Time, so if you are on the East Coast guessing at 11PM and again the next day at 12:30AM, it will look like two guesses on the same day to me, and you will be disqualified. Editing of posts also results in disqualification.

CHECK BACK OFTEN FOR HINTS!!! I will also give hints as I find necessary (approximately once every two days, so check back often!!). The last time around, there were a bunch of you who guessed against the hints. You will have a great advantage if you keep checking back. Here are the hints thus far:

1. You will not find the card in "Traded or Sold" section of my bucket.
2. The person on the card is active (not retired).
3. The card features a baseball player.
4. The player plays for an organization in the American League.
5. The player is a pitcher.
6. The player can currently be found on an active Major League 25-man roster.
7. The card is numbered.
8. The player does not play for a team in the AL West.
9. The player was nominated for a 2008 ESPY Award.

I will do my best to list the cards that already have been guessed. The last time around, a few of you guessed cards that had already been guessed. It will benefit you to check here before you make your guesses. The following cards have already been guessed (in alphabetical order by player's last name):

none (haven't had time to update yet)

Let the guessing begin! Good luck!!!
