[CONTESTS CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING]

As many of you know, I regularly post Bowman Chrome and Draft breaks on this board. Today I received 5 cases of the 10BC product from ATL, and hope to start busting tomorrow evening.

I will be listing out all numbered cards and autos and will attempt to grade the break on a box by box basis.  I invite you to stop by this thread, help me with the grading, and contribute to the discussion. I sleeve, clean, and sort as I go, so the breaks usually last 5-7 days, which gives a lot of different members an opportunity to stop by and comment while the break is still ongoing. The collective expertise of the Beckett community in these threads invariably makes me more knowledgeable about the product. Plus, it's fun to show off a little bit. Smile

To heighten interest in the break, I will organize a couple of contests. All contest information (including results) will be in this thread, and entries need to be posted here as well. This keeps the Message Board tidy.

[CONTESTS CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING]

CONTEST #1: To kick things off, I will be offering FIVE autos from among my duplicates (I will provide a list from which you may choose) to the winner of the first contest. To participate, you need to guess which Prospect Autograph Card (there are 40 in the 10BC set) will appear in my first case as the lowest-numbered parallel. For example, if the first case produces 8 base autos, two refractor autos, a blue auto, and an orange auto, who is the orange auto? If there is a tie for lowest numbered parallel (e.g., two gold autos), the winner will be the one I pull LAST in the case. To break ties, you must also guess the number of points scored by the Pistons in Wednesday's game against the Hawks.  Closest to the pin wins, further tiebreak goes to the first poster. All entries must be posted before tipoff, 7:05 Eastern. I settle all disputes. 

A valid entry, therefore, will look something like this:

"Lowest parallel: Aroldis Chapman, Pistons 120 points"

CONTEST #2: Finally, I am offering a choice of 25 different chrome prospect cards (from among the 110 in the complete set) to thewinner of this second contest. To participate, you need to guess whichProspect Autograph Card will appear in the very last box of my last case opened. To break ties (including nobody naming the actual auto), you must also guess the serial number of the last numbered card I pull in the break. Closest to the pin wins, any need for further tiebreak goes to the first poster. Entries may continue until I am ready to post results from the final box. I settle alldisputes. 

A valid entry, therefore, will look something like this:

"Last auto: Aroldis Chapman, Last serial number: 138"

Make sense? Good luck!
