Every Thursday on Upper Deck's blog, they have a create a caption contest for a pictured card. I was the lucky winner this week and won 5 packs of 14/15 Artifacts. Now I'm wondering if these would be "hot" packs with extra good hits or detrius from open boxes. Should I sell them? When I receive them, I'll be like Lebron and announce The Decision here.

In this weeks mail,  I received this.



I entered some contest on FB for Haggar and won two tickets to the HHOF. Expiry date is 5/31/2016. This will give me plenty of time to go. Maybe I should go in the summer when they have the jersey card giveaway. This would really be getting admission  for nothing and the cards for free (I'm in dire straits)
