Military Upper Deck e-pack Giveaway!!!

Earlier this year, Upper Deck released e-pack, the first ever digital card that you can actually get physical cards of. You can get daily FREE packs as well where it gives you a taste of what the program is about (free packs are all base cards) or you can buy packs, boxes and cases with at least one physical card you can claim per box.

If you need more info or how the program works, I laid it all out in detail on this LINK.

The greatest part of the e-pack experience is being able to bust packs, boxes and cases wherever you want. This is a great advantage for those who don't have LCS' or more importantly, those collectors who serve our great country overseas or right here at home. It's not always that easy for them to access cards and a hobby like this can be very therapeutic in their stressful life. 

I know if my grandfather who served in WW2 was alive, I would share this program with him if he was serving somewhere. To be honest, I am not sure if my grandfather was a collector nor did I ever meet him because PTSD took him before I was born, but I think something like this might have helped especially if it was something he may have had done with me.

Even my buddy Tim, whose brother served, had this to say about him, "My brother served in the military for 6 years. Fortunately, he never saw action in a war but he did serve his country with pride. I recently had the opportunity to show him the Upper Deck ePack platform. While he is not very tech savvy. He did like the idea of being able to open packs anytime, anywhere. He also liked the fact you can have cards mailed to you. Due to his present situation I was unable to take a picture with him. But he did say that if he collected sports cards it would be something that he would probably would interested in. Who knows, maybe a seed was planted and we'll be going to card shows or trading on the Upper Deck ePack site before long."

So what Tim and I would like to do, is share the e-pack experience with someone who is currently serving, did serve or a close family member of someone who is as we know that can be just as stressful.

There is 3 e-packs up for grabs to 3 different people. So each person will get one pack. It's not much, but we are hoping it helps. And you never know we may do this again especially if turnout is good so please spread the word. This is for a good cause.

For those that enter, all we ask for in return is for you to tell us your story (doesn't need to be long) of your military ties and whether or not you have used the e-pack platform (let us know your thoughts on it) in the comments below. It's as simple as it gets. 

We will random all entrants and announce winners. Please leave your email or Twitter @ in comments as well to make it easier for us to reach you if you miss winner announcements.

Right now there are a couple of hockey card offerings on the e-pack website, but later this year Goodwin Champions will release on the site as well and that product offers a ton of fun stuff across many sports, non-sports and this years edition even has military related items.

You will have til May 26th 2016 to enter. Winners will be announced on May 27th 2016.

Thank you to all who spread the word on this and especially to those who served.

WE ARE ALSO TRUSTING YOU ARE ENTERING THIS BECAUSE YOU CURRENTLY SERVING, DID SERVE OR ARE A CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER OF SOMEONE WHO IS. PLEASE DO NOT ENTER IF YOU ARE NOT. THAT IS DISRESPECTFUL TO THOSE WHO SERVE OUR GREAT COUNTRY TO TRY AND TAKE SOMETHING FROM THEM. THANK YOU.
