Blog Group Box Break: Da Randomizing

This post is the final new post about my Blog Group Box Break Basketball Edition All the boxes have been opened and the videos and recaps posted. Now all that is left is to do the randomizing of the unclaimed team's Rookies, parallels, inserts and Hits. Plus randomizing the multi-team cards owned by two members. That is covered in this post. Then everything gets packaged and shipped out soon (Hopefully this next weekend).

First the unclaimed parallels, rookies and inserts will be randomly assigned to members by team. Then the multi-team cards will be randomized between the two members who have the teams shown. Any of the multi-team cards that were two "unclaimed" teams will now have claims, if any of those are now just one person that member will automatically get the card no randomizing. Then the three remaining hits will be individually randomized.

So this is how things break down. Including myself we had only 5 group members but we had 17 claimed teams that breaks down to almost 3.5 teams per member (technically it is 3.4). There are 13 unclaimed teams. The list of teams will be matched up to a randomized list of break members. The number of teams claimed by a member will be his number of chances at that particular team or hit up for grabs. I will only be in the randomization for the unclaimed team assignments, not the final hits.

The randomizing was recorded on video and posted on YouTube.

Good Luck to all.

Contest: And The WINNER IS!

Andruw Jones Autographed Baseball Contest

Winner Announcement

OK folks the contest is over and it is time to announce the winner. First I'd like to thank those who entered this contest there were 10 official entries and an 11th entry that unfortunately was posted after the entry deadline. Sorry that entry won't count.

I was a little lenient with the rule of "being a Braves fan". This sort of memorabilia can be enjoyed by Autographed baseball collectors, World Series Memorabilia Collectors, Baseball collectors and baseball fans in general, but I thought it might have more meaning for Braves fans.

OK so here are the contestants in the order of signing up:

1. Chunter
2. John Miller
3. Need More Cardboard 
4. Brad's Blog
5. The Lost Collector
6. defgav
7. Christopher Rodriguez
8. reece rabin
9. The Dutch Card Guy
10. Fuji

As per standard randomizing via random.org I will randomize the list 3 times and the top name on the totem pole will be the winner.

The WINNER of the brand new car (OOPS sorry no car) is COMMISHBOB!
Congratulations Bob. Please contact me soon with your mailing address and a list of wants, stuff you collect  and I'll start looking for some stuff to send you. No guarantees of how many cards/memorabilia will be included or how big or small the package will be. I know you are a vintage guy so I'll see what creased old water damaged stuff I can send you. Just kidding about the water damage, I'll try to find some decent conditioned stuff to send. OH and don't forget I will be including this:

So be sure to have an envelope nearby to shove it into to Pay It Forward to someone.

Thank you to all who entered this contest and thank you for your patience in my lamebrain  delay.
