2017 Topps Collector Of The Month Winner (Other Prize Shipping Updates)

Time to announce the winner of the one-time Collector Of The Month. I still am in a bit of a daze/disappointment over not seeing more entries. I thought for sure a lot more bloggers would enter as well along with many others that usually enter my contests. It was going to be epic.

But, it was just the way the cookie crumbled and I did appreciate those that did take a minute out to enter.

So here is the winner.....

Congrats to Tracy L for taking home the win with scoring more than 50% of the votes. Silly me pulled the polls before I copied and pasted them into this document. But, I am sure the other contestants saw the significant lead he had and continued to have over the two days.

Tracy, please email me at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com with your address or just simply DM me on Twitter to claim your prize within the next 48 hours.

Once again, thanks again to those that entered. New contests coming up soon!

UPDATE ON PREVIOUS THREE WINNERS FROM OUTLANDER AND UFC MUSEUM: All prizes have been packaged up from the last few contests before this one. I am still waiting to get to the post office so hopefully by weeks end. Sorry for the delay around the holidays

2017 Topps Collector Of The Month Nominees

Well, all I can say that this was a bit of a disappointment. I am actually quite shocked with the great prizes that were going to be available (two that were in the lot already had $60+ BV with more on the way in 2017) and the promoting I did for two weeks that ONLY 6 entered.

To enter it was simple. All I needed was a picture of your favorite Topps card or your Topps collection. It was up to you. You were even allowed to use props to help your photo gain votes by being creative. There was going to be 11 monthly winners and a big winner at the end. But, only 6 did this. 6. I am not sure if I will get over this for a little while.

Because of this sad low turnout, I mean it's not worth my time and energy for 6 people, I AM DISCONTINUING THIS CONTEST. THIS WILL NOT BE GOING FORWARD AT ALL. THERE WILL BE NO FEBRUARY OR COLLECTOR OF THE MONTH/YEAR CONTEST PROMO IN GENERAL.

I will have however, a two day vote, STARTING today, for the individuals that did enter. The winner will take home some cards that weren't claimed in past Topps contests. Those that entered can spread the word however they would like to get people to vote for them.

The poll for this will be located off to the right of the blog just above my Top 12 Wants(use web version if on a mobile device). It will run for the rest of today and and end on Monday. I will announce the winner sometime next week depending on when I get to come back on here to type.

Thanks to those that did enter and here are the ones you are looking to vote on.

YOU CAN VOTE FOR MORE THAN ONE. In case of Tie Breaker, I will be the deciding vote that will be done through a random of three times.

Grand Prizes For The SCC/Topps Collector Of The Year

This is by far not everything that will be in this lot, but here is a scratch of the surface. (the early prizes in this contest are prizes I added at the end of the year along with ones that were never claimed)

There are others I can't remember along with some numbered and regular inserts too!

 PLUS MUCH MUCH MORE WILL BE ADDED IN 2017!!!

I will update this and re-post it every few months to try and lure you in to enter this. All I can say is that the GRAND PRIZE winner will be very happy.

There are smaller monthly prizes to win as well.

Currently only TWO people are in for January. Yes, TWO. I am expecting at least 20 entries. AT THE VERY LEAST. If this doesn't pick up or catch on with this post, I will nullify the contest completely and go back to by-review giveaways. Especially if I only get two entries and it would be one month and done.

Here are the details on how to enter to win these and monthly prizes. You would be crazy not to enter!!

YOU ONLY HAVE 8 DAYS TO DO SO TOO!
