In the interest of keeping the contest rolling I'll be offering a 8x10 autographed photo of Brian McCann to the first person who correctly answers the contest question(s).

1. Abner Doubleday is often credited with having invented baseball. In what cemetery is he buried (include section and grave number)?

2. President William Howard Taft started a sports tradition by being the first President to throw a season opening first pitch in a game between which two teams?

3. When the United States finally went to war against Germany in 1941, Joe Louis enlisted in the Army, serving in the same segregated unit as ____________________________, the first African American later to play major league baseball.

Good luck everyone!

I agree completely! I was reviewing previous contests on here and saw a thread that required participants to "Trade Up" on a single-card trade. Looks like they started with a $10+/- BV card and through their trading prowess were able to trade their way up to more valuable cards progressively using their new trade bait from the previous trade. Each participant also had to ante up with a card of $? BV and whomever within a specific time-frame had "Traded Up" to a card with the highest BV won the competition and their prize consisted of the ante cards from the other participants. I think that would be a lot of fun and probably cause a positive stir in the Baseball Trading Forum.
