ICON Raffle for 2007
Overview:
We will be having another ICON raffle this year. Ginny Way graciously donated a rich cobalt blue signal in VVNM condition in honor of Al Way. She said "This is for ICON. Do what you would like to with it" .As you know, Al had one of the best signal collections in the country, and collected the "best of the best". He spent many years travelling around the country, going to shows, and buying and trading with other collectors to build their collection of signals.
Last year's raffle was quite successful, so I thought having another one this year would be appropriate, and a better way to give everyone an opportunity to win Ginny's gift than an outright auction or other method. The proceeds of the raffle help cover my costs to maintain ICON and the web site.
To be fair to people who have already contributed to ICON this year, they will retroactively be given raffle tickets according to the chart below. I will be sending tickers out to those people the last week of November.
The Prize:

A nice rich Cobalt Blue CD 162 Hemingray [220] (SDP). There are three drips slightly chipped towards the inside only, behind the "A". The outer profiles of the drip points are not affected, and thus it displays well from any angle. I'd grade it at VVNM. These Cobalt Blue signals are highly prized because of their color. Other than this Hemingray signal, you have to pay thousands of dollars to get a "Cobalt" for your collection. |
Details:
When you contribute to ICON, you will be buying raffle tickets. (Or when you buy raffle tickers you will be contributing to ICON!) The basic ticket costs $5.00. The cost per ticket drops as you contribute more, as can be seen in the table below. The more you contribute, the lower the cost per raffle ticket is, thus allowing you to get more tickets! Please contribute an amount shown in the table below:
| Amount | Tickets | Cost/Ticket |
| $10 | 2 | $5.00 |
| $20 | 5 | $4.00 |
| $30 | 8 | $3.75 |
| $40 | 12 | $3.33 |
| $50 | 16 | $3.13 |
| $75 | 25 | $3.00 |
| $100 | 40 | $2.50 |
Your tickets will be distributed via email... You will be provided with a range of ticket numbers based on your contribution as listed above. If you do not receive this email within a week of your donation, please contact me.
There is no limit on the amount of your contribution, i.e. the number of raffle tickets you can buy. Contributions in excess of $100 will receive tickets at the $100 rate. Non-ICON members can also participate.
Deadlines and Drawing:
All entries must be post marked on or before December 31, 2007. To allow for processing of the payments received via USPS, the drawing date will be January 15, 2008. The winning number will be posted on the ICON mailing list and posted at www.insulators.info. If the winner has not contacted me within a few days, I will notify them that they are the winner. Shipping arrangements will be made at that time, and at no cost to the winner.
