February Contest Winners+Notes

We are sad to say that our February Contest has officially ended. And boy, what ups and downs we have seen throughout. People moving from first place to last to first. This was probably the best month yet. And the ending was much more thrilling than last months. All Top 3 heading into last night did not end up in the Top 3 in the end. As we stated throughout, anyone can win. With pretty much everyone gambling it all away, a few didn't enter, some not gambling anything and one other who gambled just enough to put themselves into third it was a lot of fun to see the ending here. Not to mention, the game picked was perfect as it was a huge upset win for Nevada.

Enough with the rambling for us. Now onto the winners...

Big congrats goes out to..

1st Place: Miami Vice

2nd Place: Chrisdawg7

3rd Place: J.J. Hernandez

Alright guys, gonna need your addresses emailed to us to sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com! You also have 7 Days to claim your prize from this date or your prize will be re-given away.

Now, a few other important notes while we have your attention. We are considering moving the March Contest to 25 days...please say Yay Or Nay in comments so we can judge how you feel about this move. We already have one Yay. We thought it would close the gap in between the contests.

Speaking of March Contest, the prize lot will be announced on February 26th.  We hope all of you will return. We are also upping the entries to 20 a day to have three winners. If we can maintain that number, we easily did it this month, we will have three winners. If we can maintain 30 or more a day, we might award more prizes. Hopefully we can grab everyones attention and spread the word. And hopefully most return on a daily basis. And in March....there will also be an extra twist being our Blogversary and all.

And as for the MLB World Series Contest, we see that some of you are wondering if you can get into the second group. This is what we were going to do..we would like at least 25 new entries. But the last 5 we will randomly select winners from our February Contest who played consistently on a daily basis and give them a extra slot to show our thanks.

Once again, THANK YOU for your support on a daily basis. We appreciate all of you and try to show you our thanks the best way we can. Keep up the RT'ing on Twitter, Sharing on Facebook, and just word of mouth on our blog.

February 20th 2013 FINAL DAY!!

FINAL DAY! WE would like to thank everyone for participating this month. It has been a lot of fun. We encourage those of you who are now eliminated to come back next month. One way to keep up on when we post a new day is to subscribe to the blog. Many of you will enter a day or two then get done. If you don't follow us on Twitter or Facebook or Subscribe you will never know when a new day is up. We appreciate all of our fans! Next month is our Blogversary so look for a special twist involved.

As for today, only those of you whose names are in bold or bold color are eligible to win today. Yesterdays loss knocked some of you out. Which if Michigan State had held on most of you would have been eliminated for today. As for our decision on the other eliminations, we wouldn't think it was fair to the rest of you if someone who enters once on the first day wins so most of them were eliminated. We allowed some to move on to make things interesting. They were randomly picked.

Alright. Once again, you are bidding up to the amount of points you have. Anyone can win still. The biggest question remains...how much are you willing to risk for this Womens basketball game?

Who wins this NCAA Womens game:

Nevada @ Frenso State

Entries due by 10:00 pm e.t.

*Contests open to US Residents only! 

In event of any ties for any of the top 3 spots...the game will continue til there are three straight out winners!! Good Luck!!

February 19th, 2013

Today and tomorrow you will bid up to the amount of points you have. Meaning, if you have 41 points you can bid up to 41 points. However, use them wisely because you will lose the amount you bid and once you are at 0 you are eliminated from the contest. So if you bid 15 and get the game right, you will have 56 points. If you bid the game wrong, you will drop to 26. Remember also there is still one more day to go which is why we stress use your points wisely.

The second twist about the next two days is that the comments will be hidden. Thats right. It will be all about strategy here. You won't know who bid or guessed who. Only we will. ALL COMMENTS WILL BE IN MODERATION SO DON'T WORRY IF YOU DON'T SEE YOURS. We will approve all of the comments tomorrow and get ready for the grand finale!

The other twist if you want to call it one, is todays game as a NCAA game of Top 4 teams squaring off. So far this season no one has been able to hold the top spot..will this be the game they do? Or will they fall?

Good Luck...oh, and today is the LAST day newbies can join. You will earn 5 points for the right answer. 3 point for the wrong. FOR NEWBIES ONLY.

Who wins this NCAA Mens Game:

Indiana @ Michigan State

Some of you gained some major points yesterday shooting up to the top. But many of you are still in the running. Even newbies. Starting tomorrow the twists begins. Leading up to the final twist. Only three entries left. Newbies got two. Anyone can win this still. Today, we are giving out points galore again. You can earn up to 5 points for getting both right. 2 for getting both wrong. And other combos for getting one right and one wrong. This should be a great finish.


3 points for the right answer, 1 point for the wrong for this game:

Febuary 17th 2013

Yesterdays twist hurt some, but don't worry. Still plenty of game left!! 4 more entries to decide who wins.The Final Day will be the biggest decider. Entries were WAY down yesterday so we need to make sure we are RT'ing and Sharing and emailing or whatever to remind people to enter. We did have a new entry but it was 2 hours late so couldn't count it. Hopefully that person comes back today. Today is a day to gain points.

Gain 5 points for guessing the right player who scores the most points or just 3 points for just getting the team right. And 1 point will be awarded for getting both wrong. You could earn up to 8 points with them both right. Or 3 points for just getting the game right.

We are down the stretch. Final 6 entries. Still time for newbies to join. They can join until the last day. The final 3 days will be rough, especially the last. This is truly anyones game to say the least. We are mixing up the sports to give everyone an equal chance. Some may know basketball, others hockey, some even Womens as was shown yesterday.

There could be multiple winners!! 2 points for the right answer. 1 point for the wrong. Good Luck!

February 14th 2013

Lets switch things up shall we? What about some NCAA Womens Basketball? We are hoping to switch sports up more often. Like we said, as seasons change, so do the sports.

FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS PLAYING
However, today is a bit of a risk as well. You can earn 3 points for the right answer. Lose 3 if you are wrong. If you do not know womens basketball that well, say STAYING and you will earn 1 point.Remember, you want the most points at the end of the contest and there is still 6 entries left after todays. Down the stretch on the last 3 days all of which will be twist days...could determine the fate of who wins what. Thats why anyone can win.

FOR NEWBIES ONLY !!
2 points for the right answer. 1 point for the wrong. Good Luck!

February 11th 2013

Just so we are all on the same page about entries after the deadline time since we have seen a couple of times in the contest most recently, we have given you 0 points. We hate to be sticklers but it wouldn't be fair to the rest of the group who enter on time if we award you points. We try to take into consideration everyones work schedule so we do the best to choose the latest game of the day. Yesterdays was just an early one.

Below in comments, if you agree with us awarding 0 to anyone who enters let us know. If you would like for us to change this rule and give them 1 point (as long as they are in the same day) just for entering let us know. This contest is for YOU guys and we want to make it fair for you. This decision will be up to you. Make sure you vote with your answer. If not, the rule stays. And if we get any votes, they WILL count. Thats why you need to let your opinion be heard. Thank you and good luck today!


There could be multiple winners!! 2 points for the right answer. 1 point for the wrong. Good Luck!

February 8th 2013-UNDERDOG DAY 2

This is the FINAL UNDERDOG day and you could score some serious points if you are an underdog! We have nothing against the leaders up to this point, but we want to close the gap and keep the contest close to the end and maybe bring in a new crowd. Here is how the scoring will go tonight! There will be other opportunities for newbies and other twists towards the end that could make this an interesting ending. We are just trying to close the gap now to lead up to it.

ANYONE UNDER 10 POINTS

If you have under 10 points, if you get the right answer you will gain 8 points for the right answer. 6 points for the wrong.

NEWBIES

If you are new to this contest...you can gain 12 points for the right answer..10 points for the wrong.
  
Anyone 10 points or over

3 points for the right answer, 2 points for the wrong.

We are hoping this will close the gap and make things a little more interesting and give everyone an equal chance at the big prize!And because of the challenge it is to pick the high scorer of a game (no one has ever gotten it right) we sweetened the pot for each section no matter where you fall. This should put everyone on an equal playing ground.

There could be multiple winners!

Chicago @ Utah

Not much movement in the standings yesterday, but don't worry if you feel like you are falling behind. This month, we are going to do all we can to keep this within reach of everyone. Tomorrow will be another twist day to try and close the gap early and it will also be another NEWBIE day so make sure to spread the word. We will also move to NBA picks tomorrow and then throw in some hockey to end it which should make things interesting. Good Luck to everyone!

There could be multiple winners!! 2 points for the right answer. 1 point for the wrong. Good Luck!

February 6th, 2013

Yesterdays Under Dog day went very well. We picked up a couple of newbies but some participants have come and gone. The chances of 5 places winning a prize have almost gone as well. We need to hit 25+ participants a day and we are falling under that averaging about 22 the last few days. Remember the power of spreading the word works. We need the RT's (at least do it one time a day) and the shares on Facebook. Thanks again and good luck! Don't worry if you are trailing...we got more twists coming up. We want to keep this contest very close and competitive. If you are in the Top 3 right now you might not be later. If you have 1 point, you might not. Anyones game.

Sorry for so much hockey early on, we are mixing up the sports to give everyone an equal playing ground.

There could be multiple winners!! 2 points for the right answer. 1 point for the wrong. Good Luck!

February Monthly Giveaway!

To start off the new year we have decided instead of doing weekly giveaways, we will stick with a monthly one. The weekly giveaways seemed to have lost interest of many of you so we think switching to a challenging monthly one where you control your own destiny of winning. We really enjoy watching the competition. And as always there are daily deadlines and some twists involved on some days. The best way to make sure you don't miss any deadlines is to subscribe to the blog. You can find that on the main page of the blog. You can also follow us on Twitter @sportcardcollec or on Facebook at Sport Card Collectors.

The Daily challenges will change as the sports do.This month will be a range of NBA, NCAA BB, NHL, and even some racing if that starts before the contest ends.

Every month the prize lot will include 2-3 autos or jersey cards. Mix of inserts. Some rookies. 2 unopened packs of something. And other odds and ends. The lot is based on what we get and put together. Each month the size and value of the lot will be different as well.

The contest will run for 20 days.

Here are this months prizes:

At least 10 Rookies
Upper Deck Insert Lot
Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax to name a few Baseball insert lot
Rookies and Stars Insert Lot
AJ Hawk jersey card
Quinton Coples auto rookie
Devon Still auto rookie
2 packs
The combined estimated value of this months lot is: $75-$80.

Good Luck to everyone!! Remember, the more contestants....the more prizes!! If we can AT LEAST 15 contestants playing on a daily basis..there will be three place prizes awarded! But would love to have a ton of people participate. The more competition, the more fun!

This months 2nd and 3rd place prizes are rookie cards including the 2nd place one with a card # to 25. Each month the 2nd and 3rd place prizes vary. It could be inserts, rookie cards, jersey, auto, a pack of cards, team lot or something else. 

And of course we want to build anticipation for March...our One Year Blogversary...who knows whats going to happen! Make sure to RT all of our contest, review and any other posts that we have on Twitter. And on Facebook share the posts!

February 16th 2013

Lets have a little bit more fun with a twist today...5 points for the right answer. You LOSE 5 with a wrong. Comment with STAYING and you will earn 1 point. Remember, don't guess the winner if you are STAYING. The challenge is taking the risk and it will show your Womens NCAA knowledge with the selected colleges. The last three entries will decide everything especially the last day. So don't take the risk if you don't want to. But because of the FINAL DAY it is anyones game including newbies.

NEWBIES will get 2 points for the right answer, 1 for the wrong.

Who wins this Womens NCAA Game:

Saint Mary's @ Portland

Entries due by 10:00 pm e.t.
