Post 1,000 - Contest Time!

Today is a very special day - post 1,000!

Only one way to celebrate, and help to move along a goal I had for this year - have a quick contest in order to send some cards away to someone!

To enter, all you have to do is comment on this post by midnight this coming Friday September 14th. Next weekend, I will stick the entries in order of posting into the randomized and three spins later, whoever is number one wins.

If you would like a second entry, go right ahead and post a link - somewhere - and then a second comment here with a link to your post and voila! Just to keep it fair, you can only be entered a maximum of twice all together.

As for the prize - it'll be cards. As for what cards, well, it'll depend on the winner and preferences. How many? That'll depend as well. I will leave the contest open to anyone and everyone, but truth be told, if you live on the other side of the world, probably going to get a few less cards than a fellow Canadian or someone in the continental US - but they will be free regardless!

Anyway, I like to think you may be here to see some cards, so let's take a look at an unboxing of some repack packs to see if I have any good adds to the unopened pack collection.



I finally got around to picking one of these up at Walmart. My hopes going in is to get maybe 5 new unopened packs for the collection and maybe something interesting in the packs to be opened.


I knew right off the bat that the 1999-2000 MVP pack was a new one for my collection, and true enough that is the only one from this bunch. I think with repacks, I have a good shot at finishing the couple Score sets one of these days.


Decent variety here, and three more packs for the collection between the Leafs Centennial, the 2016-17 MVP and 2016-17 Upper Deck Series One.


I needed the Series Two, but wasn't expecting the oddity of a TeenyMates pack. Not going to keep it, will open it one of these days and maybe give the couple toys to my kids as I don't really have an interest in them.

Right on target, and a good variety of packs - I just happened to have a bunch of them.

Anyway, comment below and I will be picking a winner next weekend!
