As of this post I am sitting at 2,487. I post maybe 1x a day, as I read alot, and learn even more. I am still relatively new to this wonderful cardboard hobby, but did collect as a kid. I absolutely LOVE coins, and thats what I started collecting first. I must admit, that I love collecting Topps baseball cards graded by PSA even more.
As an everyday reader on here, I admire some of the beautiful cards, and most of the wonderful posts. The amount of information on here is exhausting. Lots of good stuff to read. As a newbe to the card side of collecting, I haven't added much to the mix, so I would like to have this giveaway to kinda give back, so I will be giving a selection of un-opened packs from some group rips, and some that I have collected from purchases at my local shop, and from BBCE outside of the rips. No, it won't be a selection of packs that I don't want. There will be a few decent ones in there. I promise, unfortunately, I collect only baseball, so sorry to the other sports guys.
Anyway, what will be the challenge?
Tell me in order 1 through 4 what my favorite 4 American sports are. The first one being my favorite, and the 4th my least favorite. Hint: Baseball is my all time favorite, as that is a given, but there are dozens of sports. Think before you guess!!! The first one to get it right in order will be my first winner.
2nd, follow the link to my sets below in my sig line and tell me why I collect what I do. Believe me, they are very modest sets, and most are unfinished, as I still need to find my direction in collecting. I will choose the best answer. This will be my 2nd winner.
3rd and last, I have several sets that I have not confirmed and posted to the registry, so be the first person to guess how many sets I have total. First 1 to guess will be my third winner.
You can only win 1 prize.
Thanks for everything.
Your friend in collecting, Paul Gunsallus.
BTW, yes you can give an answer to all 3 questions, but only win 1 prize.

Thanks for the contest.
2. No idea... Maybe because everything is a 10?
3. 8 sets
2.) I think that you collect what you do because you collect late 70s and early 80s because this is when you were young and first started collecting. Also you collect the newer stuff because you have a young child and you are collecting players from their era and putting sets together for them
3.) and i will go with 12 total sets.
Hope i got one!

PSA Pro Football HOF Rookie Players Set Registry- (Currently 19.80% Complete)
PSA Basketball HOF Players Rookies Set Registry- (Currently 6.02% Complete)
2 - You collect what you do because they all the years have a significant meaning for you. Birth year, graduation, marriage, etc...
3 - 100 Sets
Thanks for the contest.
2. You collect 1980 Topps because that was the first year you bought cards. You collect 1968 Topps because you were born in 1968.

Thanks.

1. Baseball, Bowling, Football & Golf
2. You have so much F'in money that, like the rest of us, you love to spend BIG BUCKS on cards that are worth only .50 but for the PSA holder and a 'lil 'ole #10 on the holder. Oh, and BTW, Bo Derek (movie "10") was someone you drooled over when you were a kid.
3. 118 sets
Thanks for the contest and continued good luck on collecting your TENS.

2. Edited -- someone pointed out Bo Derek was in a previous post, so I'll say 1980 has to do with the Miracle on Ice

You basically have won 2 out of the 3, as you were close on the main 1 and got it spot on the 3rd one.
I will hook you up.
Give me a day or 2, and in that time let me know what you like. If I don't have it, maybe I'll just give you some credit at BBCE or something.
Paul.
