Thread: Froggman's "What Would You Do" Contest - Jan 08

Thanks for all the answers. I hope everybody had fun with this. I know I had fun reading all the comments.

Now on to the good stuff....

We have 4, yes 4 winners this time around. They are:
Atprm
diana circe
Yankeemary
quietvixsin

If you are a winner please PM me your mailing addy and I will send the cards your way.

Hi And Welcome to the contest.

I was too busy during the holidays to run a contest so here we go again.

Here are the rules.
Only one guess/attempt per user name. If you would like to let one of your kids take a shot at it that is fine, if you would like to talk it over with your whole family and come up with a great/wild idea with what to do with the prize that is fine also. But only one guess per user name.

The contest will end on Sun. Jan. 27th
I will then pick the one suggestion that I feel is the most original, caring, wild, off the way, etc...
I reserve the right to ask my family and friends to help pick a winner if I can’t decide.
If you win the prize I would like(if possible) the winner to take a picture of what you did with the prize and either post it on the board or email it to me. If you have a video camera maybe post it on You Tube for all to see.
OK - enough with the rules on with the contest.

Here is what is up for grabs this time - A padded envelope with about 100 sportscards inside


So - Here is the question
What Would You Do with the sportscards?

Would you keep them for yourself?
Would you give them to your kids?
Would you give them to your dog and let them tear them apart?

Tell me What Would You Do .

I would get the sports cards clear insert pages, then insert the cards into the slots and then use the pages clear-taped together to wrap a birthday present up for one of my close friends, who collects sports cards of all kinds...I think they would make a "nice touch" wrapping paper.

i would split them between my 8 yr old and the soon to be new baby

I would give them to my sons so they could ooh and aah over them and talk about how they are going to save them until they grow up and are worth money, then watch as they systematically scatter them all over my house so my hubby can have a total fit about how they don't take care of anything they are given. I will also watch for cards that have gone through the washer so I can see how much of each card is left, and how many ended up in a big molded card ball when they have multiple cards in their pockets. It amuses me

...

I would give them to my oldest. I am assuming these aren't huge collectable cards.
He would then use thecards to make a headliner in his vehicle. Last year he rolled (3times) our car and totaled it. It had less then 40,000 miles on it but we had purchased it brand new with cash, soooo needless to say we didn't have full coverage. Well, to tide us over my dh bought a used 1995 Nissian Quest minivan, that had 297,000 miles on it. Long story short, we bought a new van eventually and now my oldest drives the old van or as he calls it his "love machine" LOL. <Dork> hehe. Well the liner had fallen and those cards would just look awesome in his love machine.

If these are huge collectable, then of course that changes everything and they will go in a box for safe keeping.

I would keep any that were for the Cardinals and give them to my boys or BIL.

Next any that are the Mets or Cubs we would burn in the fire place and roast marshmellows over them.

The rest we would put on the boys (and their friends) bike spokes so they can make that great noise like we used to do as kids.
