interest in a February quiz?

This thread is to determine if there is any interest in participating in a February quiz. Congrats and MANY THANKS to Tony for his amazing year of quizzes My quiz would be a lot different. I do NOT have the answers for my questions, that is what I want you all to supply but yes, they would have to be documented (whether internet, book reference ...) I fully plan to have prizes for the top three most correct answers, though my quiz will have LOTS of questions.

I was hoping for more posting, but my quiz (and three prizes) should be done in time for Feb. 1. I'll keep plugging away on all my questions.

First prize in the Feb quiz is a motor scooter ride behind a blindfolded driver through the streets of S.F? At least that's what I heard...

Leave Tony and his baby alone. I might get the ride this summer, but it will have nothing to do with winning a quiz, and he darn well will NOT be blindfolded

My quiz is scheduled to be posted tomorrow morning, at least that's the plan. Definite prizes are a signed card of a deceased Negro League Hall of Famer, a 1/1 card of Luis Gonzalez and an assortment of RECENT cards of your favorite player (provided they're not too expensive and I have them, so no ARods). First place gets their choice of prize, then so on down the line. Contestants will have the month of February to find their answers, which MUST have references/documentation.

By all means, please do. Having a month to research answers is easier on me, and I suspect others, the couple of WCOB's quizzes that I tackled cost me solid days of work since the times were only a week. I assume you've got lots of good Craig Biggio cards?
