I am thinking of three comps....
One will be best auto.. <---- Westriot is keen for $20.00 store credit! Thanks mate! Your a legend!
Another will be best GU/Patch <------ Mr Paparazzi - $15.00 to the winner. Thanks again mate!
One will be Best NON auto/GU/Patch, insert or chase cards, printing plates and such. NO autos or GU allowed!. <--- for this one, I will send the winner a nice little pack of cards. I will absorb the postage from my house to anywhere in Australia. If your outside of Australia, I will ask that you just pay the difference...
I am adding two more!
MMA/UFC
Auto - Mr Paparazzi $15.00 to winner
Event Used - Needed?!?!?!?!?
Will be adding this info to the MMA board!
I am still waiting on 3 others to let me know if they are interested in donating to these comps.
I am also adding AFL auto and do they have GU? Maybe on the thread I am about to make on it you can tell me what else we can do.
I would suggest that a Gift Certificate of $10.00-$20.00 until we can really look to afford more. This is for fun, so leave the free boxes to Panini and the Mods.
Without going into long winded soap box this is my thoughts, remember, this is a gift from members to members, so its to be used in a fun way.
Please let me know your thoughts.....
Mike
make sure you keep the comps seperate in their respective forums mate..
also, you might struggle to find that many sponsors?? idk
i have a question - what if i haven't got a live break link or youtube link? it's a box that im currently breaking but i've been doing a pack a day. can i still participate?
That is will power! I would have busted the s*** outa the box straight away.
I think it is as long as the nominated 'hit' is opened in the month in question you are good. Don't think it has to be done as a live break. As long as you put up a scan and be honest about when it was pulled.
Although, I think there is a rule that if the cards pulled are better than a Kobe Bryant on card auto then you are not able to submit it until August. Not sure why, but its just the rules.LOL
Not to sound like a wet blanket but what was wrong with the old format? I would much rather see 3 prizes for 1st 2nd & 3rd cards regardless of auto/patch/whatever else they may be. I would rather see a prize go to the 2nd best kobe/mj auto than a gu /499 or on of paninis 1000 paralell cards.
if the new format does go ahead though say i pull a kobe patch auto can i enter this in both the gu/patch potm and the auto potm comps and potentially win both prizes? Also with the old comp there was always the issue with redemptions how would the new way deal with them?
Again these are just my opinions and Im all for it starting back up
I understand why it is trying to be set up like it is and infact i have no real issues if there is 100 different categories of potm if that's the way 90% of OCT want it run but you asked for opinions and ideas. My main thought though is why fix something thats not broken? if SMC was still floating this would never have been raised and people would have been quite content with it as it was.
Point taken...
There was never any reason why some one (a base collector for instance) couldn't have put any card up for nomination. POTM in my opinion was always for the best card you pulled every month be it base or a logoman and it got voted on accordingly.
Have the other 2 companies that were donating prizes been contacted (Cherry & DACW)? as they would probably be more than happy to keep the prizes they had offered in the previous comp as well. I am also happy to send you a pile of stuff i don't need here for you to give away as prizes.
Pile of stuff would be great. I could add it to mine and put it up on random.org and then let that pick what people get. That way, everyone is honest including myself for the doubters and can add some suspense to the winner.
I have over looked these two. I do not have any connections to either. If you wish to help and get them on board, please do so. I never intended to overlook anyone and the more that come to the party the better.
Another question kind of similar to the last if i bust a case of something say national treasures and pull a 1/1 Derrick Rose card, a Kobe Auto and a Kevin Durant 10 Colour Triple patch can i enter them in the seperate comps or can i only enter 1 of them in 1 comp? there just seems to be a lot of things that need to be nutted out this way where as before it was pretty clear cut. Like Manufactured patches do they count as a patch card or are they a base card/insert because of there often high #ing (all star patches from Season Update for example /499)
Yeah this is something that I have been hashing out all day... If we can get more people on board, we can do 5 categories... I am one that believes that all patches and GU are rubbish, as in, they are not who they say they are and I have no proof they were even in a game. In saying so, we need to take all patches, manufactured or not and let they be what they are. This is another debate for its own really, however to make it easy, lets just say patches and GU are just that....
1) Auto - with our without GU, that is the choice of the person submitting it.
2) Patch
3) Game Used Material - jersey, Shorts, Shoot around...
4)Auto/Game Used. Has to have both in it to submit
5) Everything else that is not above... Serial numbered parallel sets, 1/1 printing plates (if it has an auto, then you would put it into auto, or maybe this one)
On the redemption front I'm pretty sure the general consensus when it was spoken about last was if you busted it in July and Panini (or whoever) got it back to you with 3 - 4 months time frame it would be eligible for that months POTM (October - November)
I agree with this a lot actually. Listen, as someone said to me in my box break, its just cardboard until its in my hands. I couldn't agree more. So when its actually in your hot little hands, then you would be able to post it towards the pull of the month, whichever category it would be.
Don't take it as me having a go or trying to burn your ideas just IMO the easier and simpler you make it the better.
Thanks for saying this, and NO, I do not take it personally. I realize that I did ask for feedback and anyone willing to speak their mind in a constructive manor is someone who cares and wishes for the better. Though this can become a political event, it's better to hash out all the potential issues so it runs smooth. I am sure its not only my wish but anyone who comes to these boards to get the most of them and to make things FUN. Whatever it takes to get more people involved, new and old users, is a blessing to something that at times is very stagnant.
Good job mike. I'm impressed with you efforts so far. Im sure I can find some cards to help out and give you on the weekend.
The only comment I haven't agreed with so far was 'don't fix it if it isn't broken'.
Obviously it stopped! With anything else, if it has stopped, it usually means it's broken, so thanks for fixing it!
