Card show cheapies for someone - part 2

 We did this once before and it was fun!  I didn't find AWESOME stuff for the winner, but decent stuff...So here's the deal:

I'm heading to a card show this coming Saturday (Oct. 14th), and if you are lucky, it might benefit you! 

This is a quick little giveaway with a prize that might be good, or might be bad, it depends on the cheap boxes at the show!  Here's how it works:

To enter, comment on this post with the players, teams, sets etc. that you want me to look for in the cheapie boxes at the next card show.

Examples:

"I want you to look for Francisco Lindor, Clayton Kershaw, any serial numbered under /1000"

"Please look for all Diamondbacks, any Panini colored parallels and Bowman cards of young up and comers"

"I'd like any cards from the 1950s, late 90s inserts, Tom Glavine and any O-Pee-Chee"

Feel free to be more or less detailed with your request as needed. Keep in mind that I am looking in cheap boxes, so some requests will be harder to fulfill.  Like the request for cards from the 1950s above!  If you ask for Roberto Clemente, and that is all, I may not find anything, and even if I do, they will likely be modern cards.

You can put other sports than Baseball if you like, but I spend most of my time in the baseball boxes, so take that for what you will.


I will take all the comments and use Random.org to select a winner (randomized 3 times).  For the winner, I will look in the quarter (or less) boxes for you, scanning for cards that fit your request.  You will receive up to 18 cards, depending on what I can find, PWE shipped to you.

This contest will close on Thursday, Oct. 12th at 5PM PST!!

**No promises on what you will get.  I usually have good luck in these boxes, but I am looking for a really wide variety of cards.  Limiting it down to specific requests will certainly make it harder!

  3. Hey! As the winner of the last time he did this, I can state without a doubt the cards he found for me were in fact awesome! I'm sure whoever wins this time will be happy as well!

  4. '70s and early '80s O-Pee-Chee baseball. Have fun! I have a show coming up too.

  5. Right now the only baseball cards I'm looking for are 1993 Donruss Diamond Kings inserts. But if you see any football cards at the show, I'd be interested in current/recent Packers and any color Prizm parallels.

  6. Has anyone besides me been having trouble posting comments? Not just here, but throughout Blogger. I can hit "sign in" over and over before it lets me in. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Anyway, as with last time, I'm pretty flexible. Any parallels, anything serial numbered, and any interesting Mets cards. Any cards from higher-end sets such as Triple Threads or Tribute, too. Heck, anything out of the ordinary as long as it's baseball!

  7. Thanks for doing a contest like this. If chosen, I would appreciate any Tampa Bay Rays and Detroit Tigers or any pre-‘86 Topps cards

  8. I'd go for some Roy Halladays. I guess if they're quarter box cards it'd be his Phillies cards. I have most of his base Jays cards. Thanks!

  9. I'll put a line in for Vladimir Guerrero and/or Ichiro cards, or any generally weird oddballs you might stumble upon. Have a great time at the show! Really need to get to another one soon.

  11. Braves inserts and parallels, vintage 70's Opeechee (no 80's or 90's), and yeah any Topps SP Legends or photo variations. I appreciate the last ones big time! I hope you have a fantastic day at the show.

  16. Very generous of you for the contest, thanks!

    For me, any parallel / serial numbered / insert of the Cubs; any Trout, Ohtani, Ichiro, Pujols; Topps SP Legends / Photo Variations; any SPs from the Topps Holiday sets; and a San Diego Chicken card...because I don't own one and I feel like I should.

    Have fun at the show!
