1998 SP Authentic Die Cuts #66 John Elway /500
1998 SP Authentic Die Cuts #66 John Elway /500
winner !!!!
nope.....aside from the fact someone else just got the correct card , this one is eliminated by two clues (your own Q14 - not a parallel and Q20 BV under $10)
will be back a little later to provide my commentary and a scan plus start round 5.....
okay...i'm back....sorry for the delay but had some car trouble earlier in the week that caused me to get home late monday and then worked late and fell asleep quickly the last 2 nights .....
round 4 analysis......
Q1 - baseball card ? no ...solid start ...eliminates a ton....
Q2 - base card ? no....another good one as we quickly learn we're looking for an insert , a parallel , or a parallel insert .....
Q3 - football card ? yes...another good result as we are now down to only one sport....
Q4 - offensive player ? yes....good...eliminate 50% of the player pool.....
Q5 - AFC player ? yes.....based on the wording , i'd say 50/50 here....better perhaps would be to ask if the player was PICTURED as an AFC player since i would say yes to any player who has ever been an AFC player
Q6 - QB ? yes....nice....all RB , WR , TE , and OL are now eliminated....
Q7 - made after 2000 ? no...good...narrows the possibilities to 1999 and earlier.....
Q8 - made after 2005 ? no...a victim of the "please wait for an answer before asking a new question" rule....
Q9 - starting qb in super bowl ? yes...narrows the field down to 35 players who both started a super bowl and played in the AFC at some point...
Q10 - made after 1990 ? yes.....narrows the range down to 1991-1999
Q11 - HOFer ? yes.....reduces our list of 33 QB's down to just 9 (dawson , namath , unitas , griese , bradshaw , montana , marino , elway , and kelly)
Q12 - made before 1995 ? no....reduces the range to 1995-1999
Q13 - topps product ? no....ok we eliminate many products...not topps , bowman , stadium club , finest , ...
Q14 - parallel ? no...we already knew it was not a base card , now we know it isn't a parallel ....that leaves insert and parallel insert (please note those are 2 separate categories since by definition they are different albeit only ever so slightly)
Q15 - john elway ? yes.....a 1 in 9 shot that paid off....
Q16 - upper deck product ? yes.....another good one....we now know the player and the manufacturer
Q17 - game used ? no.....based on the beckett opg , we can see that elway has 145 upper deck inserts or parallel inserts produced by upper deck from 1995-1999...of those only 6 are game used cards so we are left with 139 possible items.....
Q18 - card number lower than 5 ? no...ok , here we learn we are looking for a card numbered 5 or higher .....by my count , that knocks out 45 more cards leaving us with 94 options....
Q19 - made after 1997 ? yes...now we're down to items from only 1998 and 1999.....by my count , there are 72 total items , 5 of which are game used and 24 more whose number is lower than 5...that leaves 43 specific cards...
Q20 - bv $10 or more ? no....with elway , this knocks out a ton....there are only 10 items that fit all the criteria (for the purpose of this answer , all items with BV = N/A are considered to NOT have a BV < $10)
and now to kick off round 5.....
new mystery card is on my desk and the first card in the prize pool will be a 2005 topps chrome landon powell rookie autograph.....
let the games begin....
