JULY CONTEST! GUESS THE NUMBER, WIN A PRIZE LOT!

Welcome!! For a couple of years I used to host a monthly contest where I challenged you to guess the winner of games and you would earn a point for it being right and nothing for it being wrong. Well, a different form of monthly contest has arrived. A much easier one that gives everyone a fair playing field. Welcome to, GUESS THE NUMBER!

Here is how it works. I will post a card and all you have to do is guess what it's numbered out of. Like this months card, it's numbered to 2015. You must guess what X out of 2015 is (and before you guess it's a single number because of my example, I won't say) and that's how you are entered. However, there are many other fun things about this contest too. Official game play coming up after the rules.

THE FINE PRINT/RULES:

1. MUST BE A U.S. RESIDENT OR HAVE A U.S. SHIPPING ADDRESS YOU CAN USE. I know a few non U.S. residents who have people within the U.S. that will ship to them. If you fall in that case, go ahead and enter. If not, I am sorry. Shipping costs are outrageous and I can't afford it. However, if I pull a redemption card or Panini Rewards card in the future I may hold a Non U.S. Residents contest.
2. The contest is sponsored by Sport Card Collectors blog. All cards have come directly from myself.
3. Sport Card Collectors will not be responsible for stolen, lost or damaged mail. I will mail it out the safest way I can, if something happens to it through the USPS process, I cannot be held responsible or asked to replace the original prize.
4. By entering this contest, you agree to the rules above and will abide by them.

 Game Play:

1. Guess what this card is numbered. It is out of 2015.

1.    
2. You can have one numbered guess PER DAY
3. The person closest to that number, WITHOUT going over wins the prize lot
4. If someone guesses the number correct, the numbered card above and a bonus card will be thrown into the prize lot
5. The bonus card will vary each month. This months bonus card is a 1997-1998 Topps Tim Duncan Rookie Card
6. This contest will run til July 31st 2015 at 8 pm e.t.
7. Winner and back of the numbered card will be announced August 1st 2015 in a different specified post.
8. More than one can guess the same number. Random will be done in case of a tie.
9. Most importantly, have fun and good luck to all that enter!

January Monthly Giveaway!

To start off the new year we have decided instead of doing weekly giveaways, we will stick with a monthly one. The weekly giveaways seemed to have lost interest of many of you so we think switching to a challenging monthly one where you control your own destiny of winning. We really enjoy watching the competition. And as always there are daily deadlines and some twists involved on some days.

The Daily challenges will change as the sports do.

Every month the prize lot will include 2-3 autos or jersey cards. Mix of inserts. 2 unopened packs of something. And other odds and ends. The lot is based on what we get and put together. Each month the size of the lot will be different as well.

The contest will run for 20 days.

Here are this months prizes.

7 rookie cards

Nate Diaz #to88, others are numbered too

2 unopened packs of Elvis cards

4-5 diecut Hockey inserts from Classics Hockey 2012=2013

Panini Peyton Manning Career set

Joe Mauer and Chuck Person jersey card both are numbered.

Good Luck to everyone!! And when this month is over...look for February's with a variety of sports and different cards as well! Remember ....the more entries...the more prizes will be awarded! We will award up to 3 winners with AT LEAST 15 PARTICIPANTS EVERY DAY. We have seen other daily contests have 4 times that at least so we know we can do better.

Thanks to everyone who participates and good luck! First entry will be posted on January 1st.

This months prize lot has an estimated value of $65-$75.

*Contests open to U.S. Residents only. SORRY!

Recent Findings: Elvis and other Rock Cards!

Last week, we were given 2 boxes of random cards from a relative. The boxes contained opened and unopened cards mostly non-sport from a variety of years. We thought we would break down our findings and share them with our fans!!

Here is what they would look like if opened..there were 6 of the Elvis boxes

 

There were also a lot of loose cards from the Rockcards as well.
