Gint-A-Cuff Prize Box: Box Topper and the First Hit Goes To...

Before I get to the good stuff, I need to thank Mark from Mark's Ephemera again. He may say it's not a lot of work to run Gint-A-Cuffs, but setting up the scoring, answering questions and making scoring updates must take some time. Thanks Mark.


Also, a huge thanks to Topps for getting involved and offering up a box of Ginter as a prize.

Out of 29 Gint-A-Cuffs 2 participants, there were 13 people who entered this little "contest" to get the hits from the prize box. That includes our esteemed commissioner, Mark.

This is the order in which the participants commented, along with the team they chose.

FanofReds (Nachos Grande)--Reds
Beardy (Mojo & Beardy's Fantastic Card Blog)--Orioles
Night Owl (Night Owl Cards)--Dodgers
Jeremy (No One's Going To Read This Blog)--Mets
Dan (The Other World)--Phillies
Mark (Mark's Ephemera)--Nationals
David (Indians Baseball Cards )--Indians
darkship (MidWest Cardboard)--Royals
Community Gum (Community Gum)--Cubs
Tunguska (Long Fly Ball To Because ...)--Blue Jays
Bud (First Day Issue)--Mariners
Marck (The Collective Troll)--Rays
dayf (Cardboard Junkie)--Braves

The box topper was...well, it was one that I needed if I'm going to collect them all, but it made me a little queasy.

It says "Yankees Bring World Series Title Back To Yankee Stadium". Ugh. Let's hope they don't need another one of these next year.

The first hit of the box goes to...

Dayf over at Cardboard Junkie. He was the last to enter and the first to win as this Yunel Escobar bat card came out of pack number 7.

Congrats Dayf. I'll get your address and get this out to you later this week!

Stay tuned for more hits.
