At a value of $2 per character, I wish he had given us more discernible letters.

Looks like that 90s wax is heading my way

Actually, because I didn't think it through too well, you have a reasonable chance of winning BOTH.

1) If Archie Bradley (your pick) is not pulled at all, you will be the loser of the contest by virtue of having 0 pulls and winning the tiebreaker.

2) If the prospect pulled *most* is someone who nobody picked, you will be the WINNER by virtue of the tiebreak.

There is, of course, a chance that both of these things will be true. There is also a chance that neither will come to pass (i.e., Bradley will appear before the break is over, but not as many times as the contest winner, which is picked by another contestant).

Very interesting. You could be a winner and a loser. Come to think of it, aren't we all?

Thanks for the good news. I didn't realize that.

hey don't forget about me still waiting on Bryan Holaday

Isn't he on the retail-only checklist? He definitely wasn't in the checklist I listed for the contest.

Case #7 Summary

Grade: C-
Comments: This grade might be a little optimistic in assuming I can get closer to $50 for the red 1/1 rather than closer to $20. A little luck with the base autos (Bundy, Nimmo, Panik, Starling) kept me in the game, but it was a weak case overall. Need to do better than this in the remaining three cases.
