97 and counting

This is post number 97.  In 3 posts, we’ll be at 100 for this blog.  It seems like it went pretty quick.  My first post was March 29th of this year.  So I guess it really hasn’t been that long.  Anyways, I’m going to do just a little contest just to see how it goes, I’ve joined a bunch of yours and enjoyed them, even won a couple.  So I’m going to do the typical contest this time, if all goes well, I’ll do a bigger and better one in the future.

I’m still unsure of my prizes, but it will be free cards.  I may pick up a few oddball sets from the 80’s or packs.  I’m even thinking about 3 prizes, we’ll see.  For now, all you need to know is the prizes will all be free cards.  I’ll announce the prizes on my 99th post.  With the contest winners announced at number 100.

I got excited when I started trading online because I actually started to get followers.  But I’ve been stuck on 29 for awhile.  So for this contest, comment for an entry, be a follower for an entry, and pimp the contest for an entry.  So you can get up to 3 entries for this contest.  So get crackin’, spread the word.  You have up until 12 hours after I post the prize post.  In case you haven’t noticed, I generally only post once a day (not daily) unless something strikes me as needing to get posted right away.   So you have at least 2 days and I work till 3 so you will probably have until Thursday night at the earliest.

    Following! Congrats on the up-coming century mark!

    I gotta say - looking forward to the game at your Big House on September 10th! The throw-backs under the lights should be pretty epic. No love for you guys (I know, it's mutual) but it will be nice to see both of our programs back in the mix of things........

    Best of luck!

    Put me down for the prime rib at the 100th post commemorative dinner. And will it be a cash bar or can I save the singles for the after party?

    Love the blog. Glad you're almost a centenarian.

Sorry about the word verification, but blogger sucks at filtering out the comments as of late. As bad as their last update is.
