Got Nukes?
Contest Announcement!
This contest was inspired by people out in the blog world. There are a growing number of hobby-related blogs out there, and some are excellent reads! Check out the Beckett blog, Behind the Scenes, for information and news, as well as opinions from Beckett employees and guest bloggers.
The Contest - Beat up BGS!
We want to see how much abuse our BGS slabs can take, without the card inside being damaged.
Entries will be judged on creativity, so it's not necessary to include a bulldozer or anything from NASA. It's not necessary to damage or destroy the slab
to win!
To make this fair, only the BGS/BVG slabs are allowed, BCCG are not.
Please, don't try testing your ideas on your Pristine 10s...
The prize, 10 free gradings, at the 10 day service level, with Beckett covering the return shipping and insurance up to $1,000.
There are some rules, of course, the most important being no gunfire or explosives (including fireworks). Use good judgment, if it's likely, or even if it's "fairly possible," to result in injury, then we will be forced to disqualify
the entry.
Questions about what is OK and what is not OK are more than welcome, use the blue and yellow "Contact Us" button on the front page of our blog, or email them at beckettblog@gmail.com.
That email address is also where you submit entries.
Video entries are probably the best bet, but if you can clearly show what you did just using photos, by all means send them in!
There will be a panel of 7 judges: Associate Publisher Tracy Hackler; Director of Grading Services Mark Anderson; Director of Data Publishing Bill "Sudsy" Sutherland; Magazine Editors David Lee and Al Muir, Marketing Copywriter/Online Producer Eric Jahnke, and Beckett grader Aaron Gibson.
The contest ends at midnight August 18, 2008, and judging will begin on August 19. The time it will take to complete the judging will be determined by the number of entries.

<< <i>I only own two BGS graded cards and they are both 2001 Fleer Authority 9.5's. One is Pujols and one is Ichiro. I do not believe I will be participating in this contest. >>
No guts no glory I say!
