Contest Pimping !!

It's Contest time. This time not on my blog (wait for that a couple of weeks !!) but over at Dodger Penguin so check out his Contest Post. Contest seems simple enough with future HOF-ers prices !!

Given that each post deserves a card, here's a recent addition to my Rizzo PC !! One of my Power Players !!

Thanks for visiting my blog today !

Contest: I am Ripping !!!

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your tips & thoughts in response to my last post "To Rip or not to RIP ?" After careful consideration I have decided to have some fun !! Yes, money is fun as well but I am not collecting wax for the money but simply to have fun and keep me (and maybe others) entertained !! Also, ripping a double RIP card is probablty a once-in-a-lifetime event so let's make sure I can cross this off my bucket list ! So let's have some fun and RIP this thing. As a reminder, the RIP card below is the one that will take some damage today, luckily it's just a Dodgers card (for all you Dodger fans out there :-)). From a positive perspective: After it being Ripped the Dodger RIP card is for trade !!

To involve everyone I am going to run a little contest called "guess the card" (yes, I came up with that title all by myself :-)). The double-RIP card can contain several things including, as far as I am aware, extended minis, metal minis, red mini autos, mini-rip cards and probably/hopefully many more cool stuff etc. I am hoping for a Kershaw, Glavine or Rivera 1/1 :-)

So leave a comment guessing both the team and what kind of mini it is. If you are right on both I am sending you a nice package with cards from your favourite team !

As a reminder, please examine the RIP card above closely, maybe the outside contains a clue for you (x-ray didn't work for me!). Gonna RIP it tonight and posting the contents tomorrow night (for you afternoon) so make sure to leave a comment before that time !!

May the luckiest collector win !!

Contest Results !!

Oke everyone, time for some results !! As I indicated last Friday, 4 persons acutally commented on each and every of my 400 posts (now 402) !! Wow, just wow, they must really want these cards !!

In total 1777 comments were left during the contest and yes, it took a while to get these organised ! Oke let's first go to the 4 people that had over 400 comments:

DodgerPenguin
Play at the Plate
Daniel Wilson
Richard Nebe Jr

In any event, even if you have the worst of luck and you don't win anything in the offical part of the contest I will send you some stuff anyways as this type of commenting behaviour should be rewarded !!

Oke, so the "rules" stated that I have 7 prizes and that the 1st and 2nd pick will be the ones that commented the most. So with 4 winners in this respect I moved to Random.org and, as I noticed with other randomizer procedures I randomized the list 3 times. Here's the result !!



Apologies, I am not a star in print screen but there you have it. DodgerPenguin has the 1st pick and once I have his pick in (I have a strong feeling which card that will be), it's Daniel Wilson's turn.

The second part of the prize distribution procedure is a randomization of the rest of the participants with people getting the number of entries inline with the scoring procedure. This means a randomization of almost 1,000 entries so that took a bit of work !! Here it is !!



Congrats to:

3. Night Owl
4. Rosenort
5. Greg Zakwin
6. Play at the Plate

The above ones can pick in that order !!

Last step is to randomize the group with people that participated but didn't win anything yet. This one will be the one man one entree principle for a chance to get your hands on the last card. Here it is !!



Congrats to Chuck Used Cards !! Not much to chose from anymore but at least a free card will be on its way to you soon !!

This means that we have one person who commented on all posts and did not win anything up to now: Richard Nebe JR. This feels like too big of a unjustice so Richard, shoot me your address and will send you a bunch of cards as well.

Thanks everyone for participating, hope you enjoyed the ride. I know I did !! Let's make 2014 another great year of collecting with lots of fun trades and blog posts !!

Let's see which cards the winners pick !
