August Contest Winner and ALL my 1999 SP Signature Edition autos

After much tabulating, list analysis and a touch of laziness, we have a winner for the August contest.

Some numbers associated with the contest:

41 people made 83 entries.
15 people entered all three days.
18 people mentioned the auction on their blog and get one entry for that.
There were 10 correct guesses.
I added 3 new followers and got 953 blog hits in three days. Not bad, considering I probably average a little over a 100 hits a day.

Here is a list of the 1999 SP Signature Series cards I have, along with the people who correctly guessed them. I believe there were 5 entries on the 1st day that came in AFTER I closed that one, so those did not count.
