Chip Board auction for the Miracle Fund. Here’s how this one works…
You’re bidding on a “Poker Fin” pull-tab game. This will be a seven day auction. I will post the high bid & bidder’s name daily. (Please excuse me if I miss a day on the weekend. My weekend work schedule is intense.) Please bid here, or if you want to bid anonymously, please email me. At the end of the auction I will post the winning bid & bidder’s name. I ask that you send your winning bid directly to Dennis Shoop. I’ll send the card directly to you. I’ll pay for shipping & insurance. If the winning bidder wants to remain anonymous he/she can send payment to me & I’ll send Dennis my check. This is a real auction, so the opening bid is 1¢. I estimate this pull-tab game card to be “worth” about $100.00
As an added incentive, if the winning bid is over $100.00, next week I will auction off a vintage punchboard and donate all of the proceeds to the 
.
Please take a look and give a bid. Two little kids... I think this is a time to bid with your heart.
