Post #500 involves Free Ginter and the August Contest

This is my 500th post.

Unbelievable.

To celebrate the milestone, since it falls on the first day of August, I thought I'd give away something you all will really want.

Free A&G cards. Not just any old searched cards either. A nice, fresh, sealed up tight 2010 Allen & Ginter Blaster. That's right a blaster.

The contest is fairly simple and you can enter ONCE a day for three days.

I have 23 of the 158 autos from the 1999 SP Signature Edition set. Once a day, for the next three days, you get to guess one of the cards I have. You can (should) guess a different card each day and it doesn't matter if someone else has guessed it or not. At the end of three days, I'll enter everyone who guessed correctly in the randomizer and pick a winner. If you guess right one time, you get one entry, two correct guesses equals two entries, and so on. If you want to mention the contest in a post on your blog, I'll give you one entry, even if you don't guess correctly once. Please leave a link on this post if you mention the contest so I can give you credit.

Commenting on this post counts as entry one. I'll put up a separate entry for day 2 and day 3 at 8:00 AM each day. Please comment on those days for your other entries.

A couple of tips...all of the cards I have came from packs, not individual purchases and if you know my story from the beginning, it might help.

Alright, get your first entry in here and look for the second entry page tomorrow!
