Machinery Pete's 16/31 planter prices

Numbers fill my head.

Say a number, any number, and I'll have my own quirky connections to that particular number, much of it sports related. My wife and two daughters think it's a disease. Could be. Numberitis: a condition defined by semi obsessive correlations between numbers and people/events.

So go ahead, pick a number. 16 you say? Ok, here's what I think when the number 16 pops into my head.

Sixteen Candles (John Hughes movie from 1980's)
Joe Montana (QB from 1980's, 49ers, no. 16)
Jim Plunkett (QB from 1970's, Patriots, Raiders, no. 16)
Bobby Clarke (Philedelphia Flyers hockey, 1970's - 1980's)
Gary Player wins 1972 PGA Championship: key birdie on 16th hole Sunday

Now give me another number. 31? Sure, no problem. Here's what I got:

Baskin Robins (31 Flavors ice cream)
Richard Washington (Forward, UCLA basketball, 1973-76, no. 31)
Bo Ellis (Forward, Marquette basketball, 1975-77, no. 31)
Benny Barnes (Safety, Dallas Cowboys, 1970's, no. 31)
New Year's Eve (December 31)

Auction sale price numbers also fill my head, have for 21+ years now. 16/31 Planters jump to mind. I've seen a few sold on recent sales. Couple quick clicks in our Machinerypete.com web site's "auction results" database and here's what I find:
