So, it's time to give back. Comment on this post if you want to win some cards. If you want Basketball, NASCAR or NHL, I will stuff as much as I can fit into one of the small "If it fits, it ships" boxes and send it off to you. I don't have enough baseball or football or non-sports to do that with, but I can still come up with something to send you, although it's going to be early 90s heavy, because it's what I've got. If you select those two sports, you'll probably get a bubble mailer. Non-sports could go either way, depending on what I can come up with. You can also select Olympics as I have some duplicates available there, too.
You can also select a mixer of various subjects. I have a lot of duplicates that could bear to go into a new home. I probably won't be able to tailor it to your collections, because if you supercollect a team there's a good chance I've already sent you what I have available, in the NBA especially.
To win the cards: Comment on the post, telling me which kind of card you would like to claim.
Since giving extra chances to win is a pretty popular thing to do on the blogosphere, I will give you two bonus chances as well. If you follow my blog, you get a bonus chance. It's just that simple. See the screencap below. Your second bonus chance: Leave me your username on the Trading Card Database. This is a not-so-subtle push to those of you who are not using the very best card website in the history of the internet to start using it, and those of you who already are, I probably know your username already but put it in the comment anyway just to make it easier for me to see who needs to get more than one name on the list. Remember, Cardboard History would not exist without the Database.
That means you can get 3 chances to win. I'll do the standard random.org randomizer to determine the winner, unless only one person enters.
Click the blue follow box for a bonus chance to win! |
You can win if you do not live in the USA- I will ship internationally! I reserve the right to give out bonus prizes, but due to unexpected medical expenses I can only expect to afford to ship ONE package so there will be only one winner...this time. I have some ideas for future contests that might be fun, but I will save them for the future. I also reserve the right to disqualify anyone, not that I expect to but I should put it up just in case.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for leaving me comments throughout the years. I don't plan to stop posting anytime soon, so onto the next 500! You have until the end of February to enter. Any comments datestamped this month count. any made in March don't. That gives you five days. Good luck, and may the randomizer be with you!
I'm in....I like hockey ;-)
ReplyDeleteI thought I was already following but maybe that's on Google+ or whatever it's called. So now I'm following both ways.
Glad to hear you're not quitting anytime soon! I like everything.
ReplyDeleteOh Yeah, pjdionne12 on TCDB.
DeleteI am in too - and would absolutely pick hockey!
ReplyDeleteAs for TCDB - you already know I am CrazieJoe there. :)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting to 500, that really is quite an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, I would take NBA, Rosenort on TCDB.
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in some NBA especially if it is set helps for Ex2000, Ex2001 or my 90's spx chase. If not I would be down for football or non sport
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the big milestone and keep up the great work! I read every post
DeleteI don't wish to enter the contest, as I feel you've been generous enough with me and I'd feel bad if I won, but just wanted to say congrats on 500!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the milestone. I have only recently started reading your blog and it is a great read. I would be interested in baseball. The early 90s are some years that are missing from my collection.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on post #500 ...just around the Daytona 500...pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteI like the Detroit Red Wings, Pistons, Tigers, and Kyle Busch.
FreehanFan11 on Trading Card Database.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Congrats on the 500 Billy. Yours is one of the best most thought out informative blogs out there. I would pick a mix of NASCAR and non sports. I don't have much of either
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Billy! I like Stars/North Stars in hockey, or anything basketball. My trading card db ID is EP.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 500 posts! I enjoy reading all of your posts, and I feel bad when I cant comment because I know you put a lot of effort into them.

ReplyDeleteHappy 500th! I just followed although it's weird I hadn't done that already.
ReplyDeleteI'll take hockey. If you want to throw in any nonsports, I wouldn't be mad.
Congratulations on hitting 500 posts.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Billy! Keep up the great work. No need to enter me into the contest. Reading your posts is a prize in itself.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on hitting the big 500! Your friends on here have left you some really nice comments and I wish them all luck with the great randomizer. Have fun with this contest and I look forward to seeing what you will come up with next to keep things interesting. (and nope, I am not entering your contest, by the way LOL)
ReplyDeleteHey Billy! Congrats and keep on blogging.
ReplyDelete#1 Chance - NASCAR
#2 Chance - Done
#3 Chance - SumoMenkoMan
However, if I win pass on my good fortune to the runner up and I’ll shoot you a package from Germany as a 500th post congrats!!!
Billy,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 500!
And I totally think that your mom has entered the contest no matter what she says above.
I'll take Celtics and Sean Elliott cards if possible. (And I loved your Elliott card of the day the other day. I had forgotten that he went to the Pistons.)
Oh, and as you know, it is armac on the Trading Card Database.
DeleteAngus, your comment made me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteNot trying to win anything, but my TCDB name is IndyBean17 if anyone wants to add me.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on post 500! I'll enter with a plea for hockey/Penguins.
ReplyDeleteWow - have been so backlogged with work and other activities coming up that I'm finally catching up on my blog reading tonight, and what a doozy of a post to find right before the deadline! First of all, congrats on 500 Billy! I for one truly enjoy your writing, and I like hearing your different takes on subjects.
ReplyDeleteMy TCDB username is jasongerman9. I believe I am following your blog, as I do see an option to "unfollow" - an option I won't be selecting!
If I do happen to win the randomizer, I request that you send the package of winnings on to someone else; my lucky number is nine, so maybe someone in the 9th spot? Thanks for running the contest Billy; just another example of how great of a hobby member you are!
Thank you everyone, for reading, for entering and especially the comments. It was quite difficult to not reply directly as I read them but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss any entries because of my own comments. Some of you said some really nice things about me and I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteThe entries are now closed. I'll get a post up revealing the winner later, too tired to trust myself to do it correctly right now.
Thanks again!
