Hey Everybody,
For a while now I have been busy working on starting a new company. I am getting relatively close to launch (this fall) and this business will be in the sports card & memorabilia industry. I won't go into any further details as I am only looking for a few general suggestions, not here to spam.
I am however finishing up the initial marketing plan, and part of this plan entails contests.
Here is the breakdown, I need:
-50 Prizes for daily & weekly contests (prize values should range from $20 - $80 each, average around $55)
&
-2 Grand Prizes, should be valued around $500 - $800 each
I would like to have a diverse selection of prizes to cater to all types of collectors.
I love cards so they will be the majority, but would also like to have different items from different sports (autos, memorabilia, etc.) I also want to make sure the choices are popular enough to gain attention and attract people to the business.
I am looking for some specific suggestions (players, items, etc.) so if you were running these contests which prizes would you choose? Or if you were entering, what would you like to win? Please remember I am trying to appeal to a large sports collector audience.
Look forward to hearing the suggestions.
Thank You

1986 fleer basketball pack(jordan rc year) - winner must open to make it more exciting or you could even open it pack to plastic for them live on youtube. Would certainly generate buzz as a giveaway. You would want to buy a PSA graded pack recommended - bbce or ebay 750-1k for a nice pack.
Nothing raw...too much exposure for naysayers. All sports. Mid-grade vintage HOFers. Modern star RCs. 80s BBCE Unopened boxes. Graded 70s-80s packs. BBCE authenticated racks. While Steve can't wrap individual wax or Cello packs, I think he can still wrap a group of packs. Example: 3 1980 Topps wax packs, wrapped or an 81-89 wrapped lot. Blue or Red flip HOF autos. Modern boxes with Hot RCs. Scoop new releases/pre-order before value changes. Example: 2017 Topps Update with Bellinger RC due for release in October.
All of the above could get me excited.
Good Luck.
Very cool and hope the endeavor proves very fruitful. Have you thought of including the.. the ... AHHHHHHHHHHH !!!
THE THREE WORDS !!! HAVE BEEN MISPOKE HERE !!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH

Come on oddrodz. I'm surprised you didn't ask for David Lee Roths assless chaps.

Thank you for the great suggestions!
I agree that more unopened stuff would drive better interest and reach a larger crowd. My main focus is baseball so how about some suggestions for popular/fun unopened hockey, football, and basketball (vintage/modern).
