The Great Covfefe - a conclusion

Thank you for making my 100th post celebration a winner!  This is such a fun place to hang out with the guys!  Although only posting weekly right now, I am reading my favorite blogs daily.

I also discovered  I'm a twit after all - a baby twit - still learning the ropes so please forgive any embarrassing mishaps.  They are bound to happen with me in control.  I'm already following many of you.  I had no idea how much jollification I'd find with a baseball themed feed at my fingertips!



There were 36 commenters with 24 of those entering the melee by tweeting or posting a link to Cracked Bat.   A few of you do crack me up on a regular basis.  Jedi Jeff left a string of insults but did not enter the drawing.  I was rather disappointed by this, wanting to see him come in first place.

Without an further delay, let me offer you this random photo:


I need that card for my Gracie collection, but that's not why you're here right now. You wanna know who came in LAST place!  Last Place is finally a good thing.  Here it is..........


TIM!!!!!  The guy who blogs about his cardboard sniffing habit!!  Congratulations!  I'll have the box on its way to you in a couple of days.  Thanks to everyone who participated!  I hope you stick around.  I have some Estate card STEALS to share with you later in the week.  I almost feel guilty about the prices paid for some nice gems. 

As I'm writing this post, Baseball Card Breakdown is one [thousand] up-ing me with a grand display, a fancy pants giveaway, making me feel like a cheapskate offering up only a 400 count box. Go over there and enter defgav's contest.  Tell him I sent ya!

A Covfefe ... er, um - Contest!

A post that doesn't mention covfefe?  I can assure you, this post will not discuss high level Twitter mishaps.  No comments about smart phone tweeting at midnight from the Throne Room.   Not at all.  Instead, this post celebrates a milestone, one that slipped right past me.  It’s taken awhile but I’ve actually hit the 100 post mark!!   I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the big and continued welcome to this community.  I’ve not seen a negative post or comment in reference to newcomers or regular bloggers.  You are a good and generous people!  I’d tweet it around the world but am not a twit.

I’ve been giving away a lot of cards recently, always within a trade post.  That will continue.   Most all bloggers with reason to celebrate do so with a contest, many with a pimp clause.   I’ve never done this and think it’s past time for a pimp – or pimping.  [Please note -  I’m not  looking for part time work.]  

So here are the rules:

A >    follow my blog if you haven’t already 
B >    post a link on your blog to tell your readers about A Cracked Bat.   If you don’t  blog but tweet instead, TWEET me!    I’ll even give you a link.
C >   comment below with a link to your post or tweet which shows the pimping.  You can post AND/OR tweet but only one entry per person.   
D >   you must live in the USA, Canada or Rambouillet France.
E >    all previous winners are eligible

What’s the prize this time?  One 400 count box of my disCards!  There will be no junk wax.  Cards are from the 90s right up thru 2017.  There may be a relic or auto, some shiny or numbered cards but zero junk.  If you don’t like surprises then maybe this contest isn’t for you.


There is a short window of opportunity.  The contest will close Friday, June 2nd at 10pm EST.   I’ll announce the winner sometime Sunday evening.  Randomized  FIVE TIMES, the winner will be the last name from the list.   Last place wins!   All contests I've ever entered have me falling somewhere in the middle.   It's a good time to be last!

So don't be a loser!  Enter this contest!
