Quarry Contest Hint #4

Here we are on the fourth day and honestly no one has gotten real close yet.  I have enjoyed the guesses so far though and most of them do adhere to all of the clues.  This clue could bring a winner to the contest OR it could bring a reason to have clue #5 tomorrow.  Only one way to find out.

Eligible for two guesses
Greg Zakwin

The Lost Collector


CLUE #1 This set contains less than 100 cards total.

CLUE #2 The year the set was made begins with a 19.

CLUE #3 This set was made by Topps, but not named Topps.

CLUE #4 Omega = Pete Rose

*UPDATE* - I guess that was the clue that broke the dam.  We have a winner.  Congratulations to Ryan G. from This Card is Cool who correctly guessed the 1982 K Mart box set. 


I hope that helps and I look forward to seeing your guesses.  They have now been reset and good luck to you all.

Quarry Contest Hint #3

No one got it correct on the 2nd try either, so let's try a new clue (I like that word better than hint).  I might have to start making the clues a bit easier because I am running out of song title with the word follow in them.  Hehe.

That should eliminate a lot of guesses for you guys.  Guesses are now reset for the day.  Good luck to you all.

Quarry Contest Hint #2

Well, no one got it correct on the first guess and honestly if you did I would be checking my house for listening equipment.

I did want to clarify one thing before giving you the next hint.  If you publicize my contest and provide me with the link, you get one EXTRA guess at any time.  Call it a rollover guess, if you will.  Example, if blogger A plugs today, then blogger A can guess twice today or once today and twice on a future day for how ever long the contest lasts.

Enough confusion, let's get back to the contest

HINT #2: The year the set was made begins with a 19.

HINT #1

Probably still not enough to easily guess, but it should help all but one of you that guessed sets from the 2000s.
Good luck and guessing is now reset.

I Have 50 Followers Now...Let's Have a Thank You Contest

Hey everyone I am now excited because I got to 50 followers within my first three months.  Actually I got to 51 (but I am not counting myself).  As a thank you to my loyal readers I have decided to have the first contest here at the Quarry.

I want to try a little something different for my first contest.  Rather than a simple lucky guessing game or randomizer, I want to test your knowledge of cards (with a little bit of luck thrown in).

Here is how this will work.  I am going to be giving away one complete set of baseball cards.  Your job is to guess the set.  I will give one hint daily until there is a winner and all followers get one guess.  (First free hint: It ain't 1952 Topps)  If you pimp my contest on your blog and link it in comments you may have a 2nd guess, but only once per person.

*UPDATE* Thank you to Greg Zakwin for pointing out an error.  Everyone gets one guess per day if you are a follower.  There is NO penalty for an incorrect guess, have fun with it.  Pimping the contest on your blog will get you one extra guess that you may take at any time.

I hope this is fun for everyone and we all have a good time with it.  Good luck to everyone.

HINT #1 This set contains less than 100 cards total.

Guess away and if anyone gets it on the first day (probably not gonna happen) I will give a special prize.  Good luck.
