100th Custom Card Giveaway Results

A couple of weeks ago I celebrated the printing of my 100th custom card, and gave all you kind readers and collectors a chance to enter a duck race for a prize. The first six finishers of the race would win a copy of that 100th custom, featuring good ol' George Costanza.

I was happy to see that 12 people entered the giveaway within the entry period. That's a good flock of ducks!

Here's a list of the competitors, and a link to their blogs or other trading card–related social media sites if they have any:

Jay Wigley

Mark (The Chronicles of Fuji)

Greg (Night Owl Cards)

Mr. Nachos (Nachos Grande)

Mr. Crocodile (Crocodile Sports Cards)

Gavin (Baseball Card Breakdown)

Rod (Padrographs)

RJ Sahl (TCDB: rjsahl)

Matt (Cards Over Coffee)

Derek (TCDB: CollectorTBNL)

Golf Coach

POISON75 (S.R. '75 Cards)

Twelve competitors. Six prizes. That means you have a 50% chance of winning one of them!

If you haven't seen the duck race in action, or don't remember it from last time, here's how it works: 

Each entrant is represented by an animated rubber duck that is sitting at the starting line on an animated river. The starting gun fires, and all the ducks begin floating randomly along the river as the screen scrolls horizontally. Eventually the finish line appears, and the first duck to cross the line wins. 

 

Yesterday I ran the script and recorded the action. Want to see how it all turned out? 

 

Play the video, find your duck, and here we go. (You'll see a list of the top 6 finishers at the end of the video.)

Wow! Gavin, what kind of motor did you have in that duck? Crocodile, RJ Sahl, and Padrographs all had nice bursts of speed at the end there, too.

Anyhow, here's the top 6, in order:

(1) Baseball Card Breakdown

(2) Crocodile Sports Cards

(3) CollectorTBNL

(4) RJ Sahl

(5) Padrographs

(6) Golf Coach

Congratulations! All six of you will receive a copy of the George Costanza card. If you've never sent me your mailing address, or if it's changed recently, please do send it to me. You can find my contact information on the blog here, or you can message me through TCDB here.

Thanks again to all of you for participating. Hope you enjoyed the race!
