I guess all I had to do was beg. Don't skip over this post!

It finally happened yesterday.  What I had somewhat "begged" for last week occurred, the 100th follower of my humble blog joined.

Never did I imagine that less than one year in, I'd have 100 people on board.  Thank you to all!!

Now as I promised, it's contest time.

I'm going to base the contest off of the Gypsy Queen blaster I purchased today.  I pulled my first sepia toned mini card, and for the contest you get to guess who I pulled. 

To give everyone a little bit better of a chance to win, I'm going to narrow down the player choices for you.

This player is:

1. Currently on a NL team
2. Has played in both leagues during his career.

That should narrow it down for you.  I'm posting a copy of the checklist for you below as well to make life a lot easier.  Also, to throw a tiebreaker in there just in case more than one of you get the player correct, your tiebreaker will be:

1. The serial number of the card xx/99.  (Kind of appropriate for a guy who is a serial #'d freak huh?)  Closest to the actual number wins.

Those who may or may not remember my contest from a while back, I like to give out more prizes for the more entries I receive.  No pimpage is required, and you do not have to be a follower to win

I probably will do as I have done in the past for prizes, a combination of packs and some cards for your favorite team. 

Deadline to enter the contest is June 6th at 11 PM EDT. 

For those of you who do read my blog on a regular basis, thank you!!  I am going to do my best to keep on trying to entertain you with some humor and some good pulls (hopefully).

Good luck everyone!!

Thanks for reading, Robert
