Mojo Has Left The Building...


I would like to take a few minutes, and thank everyone who supported this project over the past Ten months. Without you guys keeping me on my toes I would have shut down long ago. So once again thank you for taking time out of your day to read my writing.


Always be true to yourselves, and think independently.

Most importantly help a fellow collector, because what you give away always returns in one form or another..

Best Wishes

T.MH

Sorry for the delay, but I thought I would wait it out for the few that never arrived.

Needless to say the never did. I guess those dummies are are occupied with the Gummies.

Just Joking..

Congrats to Offy, and Beardy for choosing the correct four. I will visit Random Org tomorrow and plop both of your names in the system. I will have results up no later then noon. As for the other participants you folks are winners as well. Check your mailboxes here in the upcoming weeks, and you may be surprised to find out what's in it.

Thanks,

The Final Chapter


Finally After Two Hundred and Thirteen posts I have decided to pull the plug on the The Hand..

I just cant go on with school coming up, and all the current obstacles life has thrown my way since September.

Trust me It was a lot of work securing the lowest spot on the totem pole, but it gave me a good idea on the state of the hobby, and that my friends is priceless.

I hope everyone enjoyed the blog, and the over $2500.00 worth of free cards I gave away. If the dollar can be created out of thin air then why not cards, and when the dollar is finally useless how will that affect our collections?

Would you still collect?

Only time shall tell.

I hope to keep in touch with the few of you I made friends with, and contribute where I can.

Sometime after the contest ends I will throw up my final post, and bid farewell.

Thank you all for your gracious support.

The Missing Hit


Topps came thorough in a major way yesterday. Not only did they replace every damaged card I sent in from the Unique break, but they also added a few extras, and replaced the missing hit.

They did all of this in ten days, and that my friend is what I call customer service. Its just a shame their redemption policy isn't as good.

Here's the two extras I received.



Lee/Bates #/25


THE HIT!!



Etheir Auto.



Not bad, but not that great.

Just a reminder the contest closes at 5:45 on the dot. This will be my final reminder. A few of you only choose one card? please choose three more or unfortunately you will be disqualified.

I understand that some of you may be upset about the prize, but take a look around there are very few Junior Bat Barrels floating around contests these days. Especially ones that are out of pocket, and independently sponsored.

This will be my last contest....

Good Luck

Round #2

Click To Enlarge

First of all I would like to say thanks to everyone that participated yesterday. Everyone gave a respectable answer, and one that is definitely worthy of advancing to the second round.

Yeah that's right!!

THE FIRST ROUND IS ON ME!!

Anyhow what would The Mojo Hand be without an ante that everyone could participate in. After all we are a community right. Those of you familiar with the blog know how much I enjoy raising the bar a little so with no further ado may I introduce to you...

THE DOUBLE UP!!

Two very solid cards. A Kendry Morales on card gem paired with a Cobi Elite auto ( for all you soccer/football fans) Kendry is a savage who blasted 34 HR and batted over 300 in his first full season. Cobi was just selected as part of Soccer Americas All Decade Team.

ARE YOU READY!!

We are going to take it back..

Way back....

To the very beginning of the Hand. I have contacted Mario from Wax Heaven, and I am waiting to hear back from him. I will give him the answer to hold, and then hopefully ( if he has a little time from his single life) he can make a quick guest appearance, and drop the answer in the comment box.

Rules!!

ONE GUESS!

If by any means more then one person chooses the right cards we will go to Random Org, and ante up
If you dont answer I will send you a random relic as compensation.
If no one chooses the right cards...

We go to Random Org.

There will be a winner!!!

QUESTION::

There are FOUR CARDS pictured on this blog THAT I DON'T OWN!!!! Contests that I advertised for other blogs are EXCLUDED!!! If I owned it at one point, and traded/ gave it away ( probably gave it away) it still counts as a card I owned. The Kerry Strug Autographed card is also excluded ( I was helping a fellow collector). Also all sketch cards are excluded.

ALL W.B.C CARDS ARE EXCLUDED!
I HATE THEM!


CHOOSE WISELY! & USE COMMON SENSE.

THIS IS NOT A TRICK QUESTION.

May The Mojonic Force Be With You!!


GOOD LUCK

Round #1


Im going to start this a little earlier, because I have few things I have to take care of.

You will have until 4:20 p.m tomorrow to answer.



Riddle #1


In a Major League Baseball game a pitcher faced only 27 batters. Every batter he faced, he struck out. He allowed zero hits, and zero runs yet his team lost 4-0.

How Could This Be?




Good Luck

Mother Of All Contests Rules .....



I know I know the prize has changed, and I want to apologize to those who had hopes of picking any card pictured on this blog.

No excuses, and I'm a bastard for even posting that up.

However, I figured this would be a good substitute..



Minty Fresh J.r Bat Barrel Auto 174/200


RULES:

The contest will start at 4:20 p.m, and consist of several riddles.

Everyone who qualified will get one answer. A correct answer will advance you to the next round. I will add a sweet card every round. You will have until 4:20 p.m tomorrow to give an answer or you will be disqualified..

The last collector standing out of the ten who qualified will win the gem above..

See you at 4:20..

Party Time!


Its pudding time children.

Happy New Year, and good luck to everyone participating in the M.O.A.C today.

The Guilty Packsearcher!


Im guilty...

On my way to court yesterday (for a stupid seat belt ticket) I made a quick stop at a local shop for a quick browse. I had zero intentions on picking anything up, but as we all know intentions don't exist in the world of collecting only redemption's do.


As my eyes drifted from shelf to shelf something caught my evil eye like nothing else. A fine woven basket with a dummy card attached that read " Topps Finest Football Singles $10.00 a pack".


As I reached in my wallet to pull out a solid ten I realized that paying my fine was going to be in serious jeopardy, but at the time that didn't matter only a chance at an auto did. You see how bad I can be? well my friends I am a cringer indeed. I can also physically embarrass you so if you want to go heads up drop a comment below Ha Ha!.


I called the shop owner over, and he placed the basket on the counter. There was a total of ten packs in the basket, and as I began to stare into it a customer approached the other side of the counter. With the owner occupied my guilty hand fumbled through all ten packs. It wasnt until I came across an oversized pack that I realized what I was doing, but by then it was to late.


I was packsearching....

I decided to wait until I got home to rip the pack. After spending two hours in Tonawanda City Court I rushed home to my seven year old who I never should have taught to use a telephone, and my angry babysitter who's termination is long overdue.


After all the craziness my life throws at me on a daily bases I tucked my baby girl in bed, and headed downstairs to my cheated pack. As I ripped the pack there standing in the middle was my highly unanticipated hit. If I can tell you one thing about packsearching not only is it shameless, but boring as well.







Pack Searched Brian Cushing Auto 68/68.

Yeah I got a solid hit, but lets face it Packsearching is pretty lame, and so is a microscopic autograph.

Happy New Years!

Whatever you do don't be a hasseloff!!
