But you can’t pick the winners nose.

Here we go. We’re finally going to put an end to the Offical Condition: Poor First Anniversary Giveaway Contest, now that this blog is one year and one month old.

Now, as per the rules that I laid out way back when, if you were a follower of this blog, you would automatically get an entry. So these folks had signed up to be a follower, and therefore get one entry each:

Timmy Schenk
Ted Crinky Wrappers
Matthew Type 5
Sports Card Girl (Note: Why is she crossed out? Read this.)
Carl Crawford Cards
Mariner1
Shelliebee
AdamE (Thoughs and Sox)
dodgerbobble
Punk Rock Paint

Captain Canuck
Rod (Padrographs)
BA Benny
Don Sherman

Additionally, if you actually took part in the little guessing game that I presented to you, you were to receive one additional entry for every card that you guessed correctly. Here are the results from that.

Nobody guessed all 14, but mostly everyone did okay. Everyone that bothered to participate got at least 1 right. Three people got half of them correct. Travis from the Punk Rock Paint Corporate Empire was the only one to guess that No Neck Williams was the 4 card superman. I find it slightly strange that 4 out of the other 5 people who were guessing thought I got 4 Steve Renko cards. I never even heard of Steve Renko until someone offered me his card in the Million Card Giveaway. And outside of the 2 posts related to this contest, I never mentioned him on this blog. Oh well, I guess that was as good a guess as any. Except that it was wrong.

Anyway, here is the final list that will be inputted into the Official SlangKo Randomizationator 3000-1A™, a.k.a. Random.org.

I believe I said I would run that through Random.org 7 times. Let me go do that now. Hold on.

Okay, so after running that 7 times through, the top of the list looked like this:

So congrats to Travis. I will be in touch shortly to get your preferred shipping address. To the rest of you, thanks for participating and better luck next time.
