And royalKC wins the Price is Right Game New Card Edition

[216 Stitches]

Aside from some lucky guesses (Garciaparra), royalKC
far outdistanced me. It was 8-5 by my count (no Posada),
a regular landslide. And the (kind of lame) prize is -- your
name in lights !!!!


[u:65777eaab7][b:65777eaab7][size=24:65777eaab7]royalKC wins !!!![/size:65777eaab7][/b:65777eaab7][/u:65777eaab7]


=====================================



Two ways to play !!!!

Rules:
1. Specify the game or the league format
2. Give your best guess at the price of each of the new cards when
(if) the new cards actually get priced. You can skip any cards as you
wish.

1. Game format: just write game, and the closest price to each card
will get a little post saying WINNER !!! (A little lame prize, but I am
working on a budget here)

2. League format:
The manager closest to the actual price on the card gets exclusive
rights to that player (and all other cards for that player) through the
autodraft system
Other rules: $140 mill, DH, Adv, autodraft
If the league fills before the pricing --- then you can join without
any rights, but if there are too few managers, we will let float away.
The league format will close if it reaches 12 managers.

Oh yeah, edditting your submission may be grounds for disqualification,...
if you feel the need to make changes, and a new post.

Closest to the actual retail price [i:3fa8e9aa41]without going over[/i:3fa8e9aa41] is what Bob always used to say.

Good point. Of course, that round was just to get to one of the
other games in the show.... so think one of the other games.

Will the Kingman card really be more expensive than the Nomar card?

No! I expect to be awful at picking the prices. I just looked down
the list of current players, found a couple players with some
similarities to the cards and put a price tag.

Somebody (everybody?) has to be able to do better than me.
