Shawn (sasports) and I have decided to get together and host a series of contests and giveaways.
We appreciate every member on this site and this is a simple attempt to give something back.
Let's get it started with this.
We want to see a card (scan or photo) of the best player in any sport born in 1961.
The winner will receive this card!
2007 Topps Allen and Ginter Mini Snakes 4 King Cobra $8.00 $20.00 (Beckett OPG)
The first 17 people are eligible. Shawn is going to pick a number 1-17 randomly out of his nasty combat helmet to pick the eventual winner.
Lets play!

How about the "Great One" staying with my collecting focus, although a variant.
Thanks for the contest guys.
my favorite person born in 1961
Princes Di!
I know not a sports personality unless you call looking pretty in the waves a sport..
I'll have to run that by Shawn, but it definitely works for me!
Collect Hard!,
RGBII
A football legend:
how about a little basketball:
Background contest!
The first 20 members that submit a card(s) for prizes will be put into random.org. for this
We need more than Baseball to make this work (y'all have no idea of how sad that makes me to write). I need Kiansdad, Kmart6nets, acecards and all the other hard-core folks to submit entries for the future prizes. This includes everyone, not just Team Members. If you think that this is a worthy cause please contribute.
Let's get this thing cookin'!
Collect Hard,

does it have to be a gu or auto?
No, GU'd or Auto's are not necessary!
Player or representative born in 1961!

Not one of mine, but don't forget:

And where are all of our prize entries? we need 20 to see who wins the prize!
If memorabilia is allowed:
EDIT: Also comes w/ COA.
How about a Heisman Winner, a decent USFL player, but never seemed to make it in the NFL:
Mike Rozier

I'll donate these two for the background contest. If they're too racy mods please let me know. Just send me the address when you get a winner.

No weapons allowed in the thread!
Unless of course we are speaking of a 1961 Topps Mickey Mantle card.
Next contest winner gets this!
Granted, the corners are bad and the surface is less-than-exemplary it is a prize in a contest!
Hey, Shawn who took your clip? It might as well be a squirt gun.
Collect Hard!,

dont worry i can slap it in with lightning quickness and shoot the hair of a flys butt at 1000 yards!
they dont let us walk around with a loaded weapon cause too many people would get shot by accident! we have too many Air Force guys running around!
wow cant wait for this contest! that would be the most awesomest card i have in my collection!
wow! i have got to add "awesomest" to my cool vocab list!
So what do we have to do next?
OH!!!
I want that Mantle.
oh my bad forgot that Richard was Air Force!
This contest is going to require the contestants to post a scan or photo of
your best female athlete/celebrity on a card.
No memorabilia and no postcards, this one is limited to 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" trading cards. Please, no Benchwarmers or Adult-oriented cards!

sorry guys - I was at work last night!
I'll vote after I quickly look over the entries.
Looking forward to the results and then on to the next latest and greatest contest...
I really like the Judd and Anna, but they are very "mainstream" (although hard to get cards). I had the urge to vote for Judd as the Kentucky girl, but there's just too much going on in that card for me (the movie inscription clutters it up).
I'm going with the card with a cool design - sebredsox24's Skybox Perrot.
I believe that makes the results official....
I wasn't specific enough in my explanation for my vote.
By "cool design", I'm not just referring to card. The photograph shows the intensity of Perrot's play - very cool.
Wow thats one sick card for the next prize!! I am defiantly going to have to enter!
Lew47 is the winner.
Congratulations this one is yours.

Folks, before we get started on the next contest I'd like to
acknowledge two contributors to the Background contest.
I received these in the mail today from Tim (Kiansdad)
I recieved these today from Lew (Lew47)
I appreciate the generosity of both you gentlemen. Folks like you two are the backbone of Trading Card Central and you do the site proud. Thank you both.
My suggestion to all members is to stay tuned. Shawn and I have lots more ideas and many others have committed to contributing prizes.
You can't win if you don't play!

While I was scanning the cards from the last post something very strange happened.
I heard the unmistakable sound of toploaders shuffling. It was coming from the main room
in my basement where I keep my vintage stuff. Well, I was in the middle of something so I ignored it.
The shuffling got louder and more intense so I went to check it out.
Here's what I found. . .
Now I'm convinced that those 1961 Topps Baseball cards openly rebelled, forced the lid from their box
and hurled themselves onto the floor. All due to mere proximity of these foreign Football, Basketballl & Hockey cards in their midst.
Either that or these are the auditory and visual hallucinations my Therapist was concerned about!
Where are my meds?

Richard, I think those are mine. I must have left them when I was in Maryland! LOL

team in the 1972 Olympics. Divide this sum by the number of Silver Slugger Awards
presented to Wade Boggs. Subtract from that quotient the number of touchdowns
scored by NFL Hall of Famer Charley Trippi in the 1947 NFL Title game.
(Do not post the answer)
Once you have the answer, you must post a scan/photo of a card of any player in
any sport with the correct answer visible in the scan/photo.
The first three to post a scan/photo with the correct answer will be eligible.
Shawn or I will stop the entries when the third correct post has been made.
We (Shawn and I) will not respond to posts questioning right or wrong on a members
entry post.
Those three members will have their names thrown into Shawns helmet and
a winner picked. The winner receives this. . .
Good luck to all contestants and let's have some fun with it!

throwin it out there, just in case:
nevermind lol
Who was accepted? Who won? Man the suspense is killing me, I'm refreshing the page every 10 seconds lol
my guess was 5.5 rounded to 6
I got like 5.65-ish, but I was in a mega hurry, so I said farmar's 5. When I saw the entry above, I felt better
i got 5.5 (511/125)= ~4+13+43= 60/8-2= 5.5.
the only way i could think of doing "5.5" was showing matsui's 55.
sorry tuckers 16 lol
i know its late
ok gentlemen contest is over and i am in the process of drawing and posting the pics!
(511/110)= 4.65~5+13+43=61/8-2= 5.625
I looked for a card #'ed to 5625, but figured I didn't have enough time so I went wit 5. By the grace of God, the 1st card I saw when I opened my card bin was Jordan Farmar wearing #5
Answer
Cy Young career wins 511 divide by
Walter Payton career TD's 125 = 4.088 (round to 4) +
Wilt Chamberlain jersey # as a Globetrotter 13 = 17 +
1972 U.S. Olympic Men's Swimming Team Medal count 26 +
1972 U.S. Olympic Women's Swimming Team Medal count 17 = 43 = 54 divide by
Wade Boggs Silver Slugger Awards 8 = 6.75 (round to 7) -
Charley Trippi's TD's scored in 1947 NFL Title Game 2 = 5

I love how Richard and Shawn run this. It's by far my favorite contest, kudos to you two for running this well-oiled machine!
Alright, I am intent on winning this next one.
Mojo gods, would you please smile my way?
Richard is posting...
Okay, I went back and checked my math and discovered a mistake.
I had two copies of the contest in wordpad and failed to delete the incorrect version and that's what got posted.
The only fair thing to do here is give the prize to road runner 1964 and the other two contestants, jwman92 and wezz60 will receive.

2007 Bowman Heritage Miguel Cabrera Pieces of Greatness 1 of 1
This contest will require the contestants to write a limerick.
The subject of your limerick must be how badly I messed
up the last contest.
Please use proper format for your limerick.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_(poetry)
I'm going to judge this one myself.
Entries will be accepted until Friday, July 18th Midnight EST.
Good luck & Collect Hard!,

Alright i think ive got one:
Although Richard made a simple math mistake
That many before him made look like a piece of cake
He gave out some extra cards
And continues to Collect Hard
Wait, exactly how many pills did he take
I edited in the last line after re-reading the limerick directions. I missinterpreted the example. If this doesnt count so be it, just wanted to try to get in the best entry i could.
A math contest? How did I miss that?
Richard messed up on the last bout
So he started this one and left me out
I am writing this cause he is a great guy
Even though I know it dosent qualify
Everone got a prize so please dont pout
Man....it's been a while since I've done poetry!
I can't remember metrical feet.
Richard collects his cards very hard,
But goofed hard with Stan's cool card.
But what can I say,
He fixed the giveaway,
So I'm rhyming hard like a bard.
Edit: I edited my first line immediately after posting (added one word) - I hope that isn't a problem.
Richard screwed up his contest here on TCC
yes he made a boo-boo but it didn't benifit me,
Next time you pull a boner
Do it as a loner,
so it's not on the web for the world to see.
Thanks
Gentlemen, well done.
I'm going to allow Shawn's entry.
Go for it, everyone. I would suggest
a medication reference!
Collect Hard!,
RGBII
This is personally dedicated to Richard!
you screwed up and was hated
but after being medicated
the contestants here at TCC
wound up getting cards for free
so their love for you is rejuvenated
I need that Miggy!!
Richard forgot his medications,
so he started his hallucinations.
Although, he more than fixed what was wrong,
to move the contest along.
Let's all praise Richard's dedication!
Thanks for the contests, Richard and Shawn!
Are we going by metrical foot requirements by line for the limerick, or merely rhyming patterns? I tried to stick (as close as I could) to the feet guidelines.
Therapy works too!
Lots of rhymes with the "apy" ending!
What am I doing? Helping y'all make me
look foolish!
Where are my meds?

There once was a man from Lanham
Whose math got him in a big jam
Gave one guy the win
Then realized his sin
So awarded three awesome cards, dam (edited the n out so you can see)
He sponsored a contest
the number skills were a pest
coughed up the treasure
as if it were a pleasure
I believe it's time for some rest
Collect Hard!,

You tryin to win the 1/1 miggy huh Richard!
I thought Richard was smart.
He must of had a big brain fart.
Maybe he should go back to school.
That contest made him look like a fool.
It's ok I'm joking, thanks for your big heart.
(Holler!)
I think that was more of a rap than a limerick...
Here it goes:
Richard's contest was wack
So contestants went on attack
But after his medication high...
He graciously gave out a fair prize supply
For this he deserves a pat on the back
hope you like it
