Another contest- More free crap- YAAAAAAAY!

Hi all-
Due to the wild popularity of my last contest (tens of people were watching!!), I'm going to hold the same contest again tonight. In case you missed the last one, here are the rules:

Every night, Pokerstars (an online poker site) has a big tournament that starts at 9pm. Tonight I will play and hopefully do well. There are usually between 800-1000 entrants. Whoever can guess which place (or the closest to) I get knocked out will win the contest.

In the case that there is a tie (one guesses 10 places higher, one guesses 10 lower), the person who guessed the higher finish will win since they had more faith in me. The tournament starts at 9pm, so no entries after that time please.

Winner will receive two near complete football sets: the 1995 Topps Inaugural Jacksonville Jaguars and Carolina Panthers stamped Inaugural sets. These sets were limited to 4000 of each and were only distributed in factory set form. Each card looks exactly like the regular 1995 set, but has a gold stamp commemorating either the Jaguars' or Panthers' inaugural season. They are near complete sets because I've removed a dozen cards from each set that I think are strong PSA 10 candidates, but there are still plenty of stars- Favre, Montana, Marino, Elway, Sanders, etc...... Both sets are in a binder and I will also be sending the factory set boxes #/4000. Approx. retail value: $50 give or take.

Good luck!!

    1st Place!

    I have the Young cards from the sets so I do not need them....so the prize, when you take the tourney, can go to someone else.

    However, if anyone guesses CD's exact finish, I will throw in a PSA 10 of the sport of winners choice...only Baseball, basketball, football or hockey. I have none of other sports.

    Joe,
    Your stuff went out this morning so it should get to you any day now. There's a chance that the PSA 10 Largent RC I put in there might magically transform into some less worthless junk by the time it gets to you, so don't be shocked if it does. I hate those transforming cards.....

    Well, the way I figured, if I was behind I had 10 outs twice (about 40%), and if I was ahead (he could've had AK, AQ, or a lower pair), then I was a favorite. Seemed like a good spot to make a move. Brutal hand- AA and TT in the big and small blind.
