No post gets more hits than a contest post

It has been a long time since I've done a contest. I used to do them on the first of every month. Since Topps is about to drop 2016 Series 1 on us, let's do the contest like this.

The Prize: A 2016 Topps Series 1 Hangar Box. (Or the cash so you can buy your own and save me the shipping hassle).  IF my first card is a Ranger, I'll up the prize to a blaster.

The Game: Guess the first card I pull from my first pack of 2016 Topps. All you have to do is look at the checklist and pick a name from the list. You can have 5 guesses EACH day until I get my 1st blaster. If you give the contest some pub on your blog, you can have 8 guesses per day.

2016 Topps Series 1 Checklist

The same name can be used more than once and I'll randomize all the people who have the right name to get a winner. 

Sound good?  Let's get to it then.
