Pack Lottery Contest Winners Announced

Before I get started with all of the results, I want to say that you all should come back tomorrow for our NEXT contest (already!). 01/11/11 will be our 1 year blogging anniversary and we have a high-end contest in the works to celebrate the occasion!

Now…Get your lucky tickets ready!  It took a while to get everything opened, sorted and cross-referenced, but here’s what was in those Pack Lottery Contest boxes.

Box 1

Box 2

As I mentioned in the videos, my webcam is terrible and doesn’t want to focus on close things and didn’t want to record legible serial numbers.  So, in the interest of fairness, I will be posting all of the cards that were part of the contest right here.  This is going to be 15 images, so feel free to scroll down if you trust me and just want to see who won what rather than what was pulled.

Phew….are you exhausted yet?  Well, don’t quit on me yet, because we still have to announce the winners.   I hope this works….cutting and pasting from my spreadsheet:

So, how’d you do?  As you can see, no one won the grand prize and matched all three things on the same card.  Also, nobody matched the player and the serial number on the same card.

Only CUBSFAN731 matched both the player and the stat on the same card, which won him all the Cubs cards from the box.  Unfortunately…that one Derrek Lee card WAS all the Cubs cards from the box.  I’ll dig around and find you some extras to fill it out.

Only SCOTT CRAWFORD ON CARDS matched both the stat AND the serial number on the same card (but for a different player than one he picked.  The sad part about it all, he picked Mariano Rivera, which didn’t show up at all in either box, but the stat and serial number he chose were found on the only Mickey Mantle card used in the cross-checking.  It looks like he picked the wrong Yankee.  For wining prize level 6, he wins 20 cards from his favorite team, the Yankees (along with the prizes won with his other entry).

Only OFFY managed to match absolutely nothing.  There was a David Ortiz card in the box, but it was a black border parallel not used to determine winners, and those other numbers just never came up…. Sorry Man, but being the Boston fan you are, you’ll want to look at tomorrow’s new contest!

Here’s a refresher on the prizes:
Level 1 – A card of the player guessed
Level 2 – 2 cards from your favorite team
Level 3 – no one won this (all cards of the player guessed)
Level 4 – 3 cards from your favorite team
Level 5 – All cards from your favorite team
Level 6 – 20 cards from your favorite team
Level 7 – no one won this (all contents of both boxes)

If you see that you won both Level 2 and Level 4, that means you’ll be getting 5 cards from your listed team for that guess!

Now, I’ve been trying to get the prize packages together, but I”ve come across a big problem that was bound to rear its ugly head eventually.  I don’t have enough cards of some teams (or players).  By giving away 20 Yankee cards to Scott Crawford on Cards, that leaves nothing for the other Yankee fans.  The D. Lee card that won Cubsfan731 level 5 was also guessed by Wrigley Wax.  So, please be patient as I try to coordinate and dig through my collection to find replacements/substitutes.  I’m fulfilling the prizes from highest level down, and autos and the colored parallels are the first prizes to be distributed when possible.

***Also note that I’m assigning the card to the team the player is on in the card.  So, for all you Alex Rodriguez fans, I got more cards of him as a Mariner than I did of him as a Yankee or Ranger.  One person picked Mariners as their favorite team, so I’ll have some left over.  What will help me immensely is, if you are okay with getting cards of the same player on a different team, please let me know in the comments or via email.  ALSO, if for whatever reason you don’t want Moments and Milestones cards at all, and are okay with any team cards I can find, please let me know in the comments.  It may not apply to you, but it might.***

Okay, I’m sorry that was so long-winded.  If anyone has any questions, please let me know.  I’ll have a review of the product (along with what’s left over for trade bait) after I get all these packages shipped.  This was a ton of fun, and I really hope to be able to afford to do a round 2 with this product sometime!  Thank you all for entering and following and subscribing and plugging on your blogs and most importantly, for reading.
