CyberErik's auto giveaway contest thread

[cyberer]

Pantherfan (I think that's his handle) has a thread where he gives away autos, and people really seem to enjoy it. I decided that I want to give back similarly, but perhaps have a little bit more fun with it.

I am going to set up a contest, with the following rules (I may fine-tune them as we progress):

1. I will place an item up for giveaway every few days/week (if I can), or as frequently as I am able.
2. I will announce in this thread when a contest will begin.
3. I will NOT post what the item is, but I WILL give clues every few hours.

Example, say I'm giving away a Frank Gore, the clues might look like:

He Went to University of Miami -> He plays in the NFC West -> He is a running back etc etc etc until someone gets it.

4. You may only guess ONCE per contest. So it's not like you can put in 1 guess after I said he went to Miami, and one guess after I said he played in the NFC West. If you guess wrong at any step, you are out. This creates an interesting double jeopardy where you have to balance answering early with answering confidently that you know who it is.
5. The first person to guess correctly takes the auto home.
6. You may search my photo bucket at all my autos, but it doesn't necessarily have to be in there. I have hundreds of pack-pulled certified issues that I don't have on photobucket, and it could be one of those.

Some notes on shipping: If it is a simple card or 4x6 that fits in a mailing envelope, I will send it with a stamp and a label DO NOT BEND (this typically works fine for my TTMs). If it is a special item like 8x10 or you would like more protection for the item, I would ask that you pay for shipping.


WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET'S START THE FIRST GIVEAWAY!


All the above rules apply, feel free to make a guess whenever you want, but remember that if you are wrong you are disqualified from this giveaway.

We might as well kick off this thread on a big note:

CLUE 1: He is a member of his sport's Hall of Fame


Good luck!

Hmmm, no responses yet, either people don't want free autos or everyone is afraid to guess (please let me know if you are interested but just waiting to guess or if in fact no one really cares).

Anyways in the interest of expediency I will give the 2nd clue of the day:

He has won 3 world championships for 2 different franchises.
