A Tour of the Sanctum Sanctorm at World Headquarters

 Come take the grand tour and listen to me ramble.

11th Annual Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest on the Web - Wild Card Weekend Round Up

I have to say this was a pretty good weekend of football.  We didn't lose too many people simply because the overwhelming majority of picks were for the #1 seeds in each conference and they, of course, got a bye this week.  And how unexpected was the rout by the Browns! I missed the first 5 minutes of the game and the Browns were up 14 nothing.  

Anyway, we lost four this round, but next weekend should be very entertaining.  Thanks again to everyone who entered, I'll have another update post after the Divisional Games next week.

11th Annual Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest Official Entries

 

First off let me thank everyone who signed up what a great turn out.  I did have a couple people email me to tell me they couldn't sign up for some reason, so I've manually added them myself on the official sign up post.  Second I want to thank the few of you that promoted the contest, either on your blogs or social media accounts, I appreciate getting the word out and I've added the PIMP next to your names to remind me to give you an extra entry into the door prize drawing.  If you promoted the contest and forgot to post a link let me know and I'll make sure to mark your entry.

Here are the official signs up, if you see I made a mistake about your entry please let me know, otherwise enjoy the playoff.  As I'm finally getting around to writing this post the Bills have just beat the Colt and boy that was a great game. And it doesn't affect this contest one bit because no one picked the Colts to win.  Overall I see a lot of people predict the two #1 seeds going at it in the big game and that would be a hell of a Super Bowl, but any given Sunday or Saturday.

11th Annual Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest on the Web - 2 Minute Warning

 

Just one last reminder post before the post season kicks off.  If you haven't already please head on over to the official sign up post HERE to enter and you can see the grand prize and all the rules.  

11th Annual Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest on the Web - Friendly Reminder

 

Just a friendly reminder that my annual super bowl contest is live on the blog here.  You have until Saturday at 9am Alaska / 12 noon EST Jan 9th (that's right before kickoff of the Indy Buffalo game.

Don't enter here....GO HERE to the official entry post or scroll down through my feed.

11th Annual Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest on the Web - Official Sign Up post!!

 

Wow did this season blow by.  I was going to say how cool it was the last game of the season still mattered, but man that game was a stinker, and it did matter for the playoff picture.  And with the end of the regular season comes my annual Super Bowl contest entering its second decade!!

As always I just want you to tell me who's going to win the big game.  That's it.   Well not quite, I'm sure more than one person will pick the correct team so let's set up the tie breakers.  Tell me who will be the opponent, the total points that will be scored by both teams and how many field goals will be made.  So your entry should look something like this.

Green Bay Packers over Cleveland Browns, 47 points, 3 Field Goals.  

If for some reason we still have a tie the winner will be determined by random selection.  

And like year's past there will be a door prize just for showing up.  And if you promote this contest on social media, your blog (if you have one), or some other way, let me know by adding a link to your promotion and you will get an extra entry into the door prize drawing.

So what's up for grabs this year??  Well as always a stack of your favorite team, could contain autos, relic, parallels, it all depends on what I have on hand or find on my next trip to the LCS, but also this beautiful eTopps of the Sheriff Peyton Manning from 2004.

The card commemorates his record breaking 2004 season in which he broke the single season touchdown record set by Dan Marino in 1984. Peyton's record would be broken by Tom Brady in 2007, but Peyton would reclaim the title in 2013, which he still holds with 55.  The card has a print run of just 2844.  I miss eTopps, I'm really surprised Topps hasn't tried to resurrect the brand especially considering the eTopps website is still up and active. 

The contest will close at 8am AST or 12 noon EST on Saturday Jan 9th right before the first wildcard game.

Alrighty here are the teams to choose from:

NFC

Green Bay Packers
New Orleans Saints
Chicago Bears

Seattle Seahawks

LA Rams

Washington

Tampa Bay Bucs

AFC

Kansas City Chiefs

Buffalo Bills

Indianapolis Colts

Pittsburgh Steelers

Cleveland Browns

Tennessee Titans

Baltimore Ravens

There you go, good luck everyone and don't forget to share the contest to get your extra door prize entry.

Throwing it all out the window - a guide to collecting in 2021

 In year's past I've taken the time early in the new year to put together a group of collecting goals for myself and then usually I'll go back and see how I did.  I didn't do that last year, as a matter of fact, it might have been a few year's since I've done it (I'm too lazy to go look sorry).

But this year, this year I am making a concerted effort, no I'm making a major commitment in not doing anything like that this year on purpose.  The last couple year's I think I'd just fallen off the blogging band wagon to put any effort into coming up with a list of the coming year's goals.  This year I'm putting in a major effort to make sure I don't.  This year... this year, 2021 there are no rules, no goals,  no set course!  

I've thrown the road map out the window, the GPS is turned off,  I've cast off the lines (is that enough? yeah probably)

Point is and I've seen this all through out the social medias that lots of people are refusing to set New Year's Resolutions.  That's great and all, I don't usually bother I'm not a resolution kind of guy, but I do tend to be a planner of sorts.  Will I collect the 2021 Topps set?  Probably but I don't know.  Will I be buying sports cards?  Yeah of course I don't see me not, but I could go cold turkey (won't happen).  Will I blog more? Might.  Will I trade more?  Hope so.  

So welcome to the year of whatever. Whew here's my favorite pick up from last year.  

 Cheers CB out.
