Steve at White Sox cards correctly identified all 20 cards correctly. The post is updated with the answers. Here's Steve's prize:


Appropriate, I think.

No one guessed something important about two of the cards though... first one who tells me what it is gets a second chance prize. Post it in the comments this time folks.

Also still no one has the ad on the back of the T205 card right yet. Everyone picked the same advertisement except one guy who cheated and picked two.

You can also try to guess my unguessable favorite #1 anime chick if you want, but you'll never ever get it ever. Ever! Ha ha!
