Welp, I thought I would get some bites on yesterday's post, but I struck out. Live and learn I guess!
I offered a card up, in exchange for a pretty easy participation cost, but nobody felt the need. Some reason's could be:
1. The card sucks, nobody wanted it - possible, even though it is a case hit
2. The time and effort I asked for wasn't worth it - yeah, I asked people to take action, maybe too much?
3. Nobody likes any of the teams from the N.L. West - Need a Yankees card!
4. Nobody read the post - oh, waaah, poor blogger has no readers, haha
Or maybe something else. If you have an opinion on that, leave it in the comments, I would love to hear it.
But I still figure I will try to give the card away. Let's see if loosening the rules gets any bites!
All you have to do is comment that you want in on the drawing. The deadline will be 5PM PST on Saturday, September 5th. If I get anyone who wants a shot at the card, I will randomize the list of commenters 3 times and the top of the list will get a PWE with the card in it.
Here is the card...
Good luck!
I nearly emailed yesterday, but didn't. But yeah, I'd take a shot at the card if a comment will suffice.
ReplyDeleteNice! I was thinking you or Rod might jump in on the Padres. You are in now though!
DeleteI'm two days behind on posts, so I hadn't seen yesterday's offering yet, but have now gone back and read it. As far as the lack of participation goes, well, I don't have any answers for you. There's collectors for all of those teams amongst the bloggers (unfortunately I'm not one of them), and case hits are supposed to be desirable, so I don't know? Looking at it now, and seeing how little you're asking for people to do in order to participate, I find myself just as perplexed as you.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Sorry for being of absolutely no assistance.
It's really not that big of a deal, I was just a little surprised. So are you in on the drawing???
DeleteSorry, I didn't see that part. There's no one on the card that I collect (I've never even seen any of them play), so you can leave me out. For what it's worth, I do appreciate being given the opportunity though.
DeleteI will jump in as well but need to catch up on posts too
ReplyDeleteSweet!
DeleteIt was #3 for me. Wanted to give someone a shot if they liked an NL West team. But you can throw my name in the drawing now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat's fair, glad you get a shot.
DeleteTigers or Astros and I'd have been all over it! Hope you find a good home for this one. Very generous of you! 8^)
ReplyDeleteI'll be keeping my eyes out for that stuff too!
DeleteI do NOT want that card. How's that ;)
ReplyDeleteYou wound me, Mr. Owl Man. Wounded!
DeleteI'll take a shot at it, I like the look of it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I just felt that there'd be people who wanted it more than I did, and anyway I couldn't honestly make the case that I was a fan of one of those teams. I'm a Mets guy. But, sure, I'll throw my hat in the ring. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am a Royals dan, obviously, but would take a stab at it under these conditions. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'll throw my name in the hat for the card. I'm late to the party which is often the case.
ReplyDeleteTotally didn't see yesterday's post! I would want in on this drawing. The card would be much better with logos but we know why there aren't any......... No player names No team names makes this card so bland IMO.
ReplyDeleteLol. I was just about to email Rod and Gavin about your other contest, but saw this post when I was grabbing the link. Anyways. With the new format, I'm interested. Looks like Gavin is in too, but I'll let Rod know.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the original post at all. But I'll try for it here and see if I get an unlicensed 20% Rockies card.
ReplyDeleteI'm in for this one...much easier to participate in the random drawing. Also a possibility was it was a Panini card and many a blogger is snobbish against the logo-less.
