CONTEST WINNER OF THE 6 PACKAGES OF BCW SUPPLIES SORTING TRAYS

 Sorry for the delay on this contest announcement. I have been way under the weather so haven't had the opportunity to do this as I caught Covid. I am still under the weather but figure I need to get this out of the way. Luckily for me, all other posts on this blog are pre-written.

Despite the delay, it was a sad turnout with only 6 in this contest. I awarded those who told me in comments an extra entry that told me they followed the other blogs.

Good luck everyone....

Big Sort 2019 Update!

And so it begins.

Just last week I finally finished the final touches on putting everything away that was on my floor, desk, shelves, etc, etc, etc and now my Big Sort of 2019 can begin! Not sure I would have finished any of this part without my BCW sorting trays.

 

This was the final pieces I had to take care of. (Also take note of my desk decorations Gavin ;) ) 

The big sort begins with my Ken Griffey Jr collection. Something that has been needing be done since the 90's. Yes it has been that long.

 

I started a little bit on this last night. Very little.

 

I have two binders and the stack in the middle to sort by year. By year, oy! Then these will put into a checklist on my computer then to be uploaded to here. I expect a month at least into this project.

I will continue to post updates as I go along and show off some cool Griffey's as well. My hope is that this part of my collection will be as organized as my Rodney Hampton. I will not be surprised either if I have some dupes to trade as I have been eye balling cards over the years I thought I needed. I will post those as well.

I am kinda of curious how you guys sort your bigger player pc's? Maybe it will change the direction I plan to with this one.

2019 Sorting Project

It started on January 1st and may take me to the next January 1st to tackle the biggest sort I have ever done. My goal in the end, securing the fact I will be able to find my cards a lot easier.

However, to begin such a sort, I had to do something a bit backwards first. I had to finish up sorting the way I have always sorted to move onto the "Big Sort". I know I should have just kept this stuff out and sorted it in the new fashion, but I don't have the room and honestly with all of this laying around, it would bog me down more than get me going with momentum. I like to take things one at a time. This would be way to much to able to do that.

Not to mention I don't have the space for my plans. I had to use multiple sorting trays, a bench, a box, my floor, my entire desk, etc just to sort the stuff that has been sitting on my desk forever.

 

Thank Goodness for BCW Sorting Trays!

 

A bench I have to hold my oddball stuff by number.

 

Sorting tray again.

 

Oh my desk!

 

More desk space eaten up.

I still need to put this all away the old way. It's going to be quite the journey.

What's going to be my big sort? Well, it's taking apart every sports inserts, pulling out the 90's stuff for a binder on it's own, then pulling the rest out to be put into penny sleeves, by team, then into boxes instead of binders. The binders I empty will be used for putting my players back in like they used to be. I think the players I currently have in boxes are worth more than the new inserts of today. The 90's inserts will be sorted by what they are and finally grouped together to see if there are any other sets I want to build.

This is just Part 1. Part 2, I need to take apart two binders of Griffey Jr, sort them by year, by brand, put them back into a binder than do my online checklist.

Part 3 is moving my NY Giants relics from a stack on a table, into boxes sorted by player to make it easier for me to do posts with if I choose to do so.

Part 4 I am also going to take apart my relics and autograph boxes and sort them by team.

I am sure along the way I will find other ways I want to tweak things and maybe even change my plans from above as I go. All I know, it's going to take awhile. That Griffey project alone will be grueling. As all of that goes along updates on here along with some changes to things will come as well.

All I know this is going to keep me busy for awhile. So if you see me disappear and maybe miss some posts, I probably got lost in the cards. Don't call for help. I will find a way out.

The World Series Prize For 2018 Fantasy Baseball

Well, here we go.

We have made it to the final few weeks of fantasy baseball. It was a fun year, but I don't think this will be returning next year as a promo. It was a lot of work to keep track of and a lot of people struggled with how to play. I will make things much more simple in the next promo I run.

Anyways, just like the other months, we will find ourselves with two winners for the finale. One will get this sweet BCW Prize Pack consisting of a BCW Vault Box filled with a variety of toploaders in various thicknesses.

 

The other prize is a prize pack of Topps cards I have pulled from reviews all year from multiple sports. This will at least have 6 hits if not more along with some inserts and numbered cards.

Good luck to those of you that remain in this contest. Please take a minute out to thank Topps and BCW for providing the prizes so we can continue hosting great prizes and contests like this.

2017 MLB Pick Em Prize For July

Three months are over in this promo and three prizes have been giving away while the other is building up big time with inserts and hits galore! That prize will be for the one who can MLB Pick Em Champ. But, it's never too late to join to be that as some twists and turns later in the game may take place. So spread the word.

Anyways, I posted the picks for the first week of July earlier today. Everyone has a clean slate for the July prize but have their points from April, May, June saved for the overall promo in those standings. July and beyond earned points will be added to those.

But, with a clean slate, that means anyone can enter to win this prize pack for the month of July,

 

 

A 2017 Topps Archives Terry Muholland auto

One box (100 pages) of 9-Pocket Pages (1-PRO9T-100) and a 3-ring binder (1-ALB3C-PL-BLK)

 

There is only one way to win it however, join in on the July MLB Pick Em!

CONTEST!! World Series Predictor!

It's almost that time of year. The smell of freshly cut grass. The crack of a bat. Diving catches and one team winning a trophy. Yup, you guess it, it's almost time for baseball!

A few years ago, I ran a World Series contest where I had the people who entered draft a team they thought would win and at the end of the World Series the person who picked the winning team would score a prize lot. I have decided to bring back something very similar to that contest but switched up how to enter.

First off, let me give you the run down on the prizes!

We kick it off with 1991 Leaf Gold Rookies including Mo Vaughn, Ryan Klesko and Mike Mussina

A few 90's inserts and a cool Ted Williams insert from 2015 Topps baseball

If you are like me, you like shiny things. Well, here are some!

I already have this card, but, it was still hard to let go but I did anyways. Someone will enjoy it as much as I do.

And a cool Victor Martinez jersey card. I call it cool because to the naked eye, my pic doesn't show the small tear in the jersey. That's pretty cool to me!

And these unopened packs.

And finally, there will be a nice BCW SUPPLIES prize pack added as well. Here it is now updated!

 Now onto how to enter for ONE person to win ALL of the prizes listed above!

1. MUST be a U.S. RESIDENT or have an address in the U.S. I can ship the prize to enter! Sorry about this but shipping costs are crazy and I am far from being rich lol.
2. Pick out one MLB hitter from any team. Once a player is selected, you cannot choose that player again. It will be a first come, first serve type of deal.
3. If the player you choose ends up in the World Series, you will be in the running for the prizes above. A new contest will begin when the World Series begins. If your player doesn't make it to the World Series, then you are eliminated. If, for some reason none of the players make it to the World Series, I will random all entrants for the prize.
4. Remember to try and not pick a bench player just to make it to the World Series. I may use the player you have chosen in the World Series portion of the contest.
5. Deadline to enter is April 5th 2015 right before the Opening Day game.

Good luck to all that enter. This should be a challenging contest to pick players for because you just never know which teams will make it.

PS: I would like to ask bloggers to share this contest on their blogs and for everyone to RT on Twitter and Share on Facebook.

BCW 20-Pocket Tobacco Pages

Do you have an overabundance of modern day or lesser valued tobacco sized cards and don't have a place to store them? Are they taking up desk space? Is your wife finding them in her jewelery box?

Well, BCW has an answer with their 20-Pockett Tobacco Pages!

Each pocket nicely fits a tobacco card. It's not too tight or too loose. The pages are crystal clear showcasing these cards nicely and very durable to protect them inside of a binder. 

So if you want to please the misses or get those stacks off from your desk,I highly recommend these. But, remember, these are best for modern day (like the ones I stuck in) or lower valued ones. Valuable tobacco cards would be fine in these if you stacked your binders nicely, but I would be more likely to recommend storing those in TOPLOADERS so they can have the extra protection and so you can lock them up in a safe. It would be extremely challenging to fit these into a safe and with valuable or rare tobacco cards you just don't want those sitting out just anywhere..

Sport Card Collectors Super Bowl 48 Contest

Welcome to Sport Card Collectors Super Bowl 48 Contest! As with most of the contests I hold on here, it will involve a challenge as the deciding factor on who wins.

Before telling you how to enter, I will inform you of your prizes:

 

1 Blue Binder, ! 100 Ct box of 9 Pocket sheets and a package of Card Sleeves made possible by our friends at BCW Supplies! Make sure to go and thank them for their generosity!!

 

Russell Wilson inserts, autograph of Denver DT Marcus Thomas, Player Of The Day card of Peyton Manning and a Topps Chrome X-Factor of Richard Sherman

 

4 gold parallel numbered to 2011 rookie inserts of Cameron Heyward, Rob Housler, Ryan Kerrigan and Corey Luigit.

Now onto the rules on how to enter....

1. You MUST BE A U.S. Resident to enter. Sorry, shipping reasons.

2. Pick the winner of Super Bowl 48

3. Pick the total score for Super Bowl 48 WITHOUT GOING OVER

4. As a Tie Breaker, pick Super Bowl MVP

5. Second Tie Breaker, pick how many yards Peyton Manning will throw for

The person who picks the winner and score WITHOUT going over and tiebreakers (if needed) wins.

So your answers should look like this:

Denver

44

Peyton Manning

325

Your entries are due by February 2nd 2014 by 6:00 pm e.t.

By not following all of the rules, your entry will not count. 

Note:all entries will be hidden until after the contest

If you are new to this blog, PLEASE make sure you follow on Twitter, Facebook, subscribe to it, or become a member. Just make sure you check in on when the winner is announced. Winners have 7 days to claim their prize after announcement. So many prizes have been lost from newbies entering then never coming back. Not to mention, all of the sports card information, reviews and other contests you might miss out on as well in the future! Make sure to keep in contact!

Good luck to everyone who enters! And if you want my opinion on the Super Bowl, I have Denver winning (sorry Seahawk fans) 27-17.
