Well this is it, the last Big Game contest. Give me just a minute so I can wipe the tears away

Before we get to the final contest let me post my pulls from tin 12. The final contest won't be based on tin 12 alone so I'll just post what I got from it.

Now onto the final contest and this will be easy. Below is a recap of my case of Big Game. All you need to do to enter this contest is rate my case of Big Game from 1 to 10. 1 being the worst case and 10 being tops. Also, tell me why you gave it that rating. That's all you need to do to enter.

Be honest with your responses. If you think it was a crap case and give it a 4, that's totally fine. You'll have the same chance of winning if you give it a 10.

I would rate this case a 6 You didn't home runs for sure on the auto piece, i.e. shaq + carmelodid get paul, williams and may rookies. The game used are about par for the course and you did get 2 cards that were player jersey #s. I think for me the thing that saves it to some degree is the 1/1 hit. It could have been joe nobody card #ed 1/1. At least you did get an NBA lofo patch, even if it is the Gdog. Thanks for the contests. They have been great fun.

Fido · 02-22-2006, 01:34 PM

I'd go totally middle of the road 5. I browsed the pulls looking for the "big" one and didn't really see one. I guess not every tin can be a great one but I expected a WOW card in there somewhere. I also don't get the celebrity cards thrown in--not really my thing so getting a couple of Jay-Z or Carmen Electra aren't a plus. The 1/1 could have been better (Glen Robinson?!?) but then again maybe I'm just jaded because there wasn't ANY Jazz pulled in the whole case!
This was a fun contest though--too bad I'm not a better guesser!

dustys1985 · 02-22-2006, 01:45 PM

I would grade it a 5 too because your tin was average. You got everything you were suppose to in each tin and you got some nice rc auto/game used. Also the Shaq helped out because I have one too and it is an awesome card to have. The Robinson wasn't too bad considering he was a good player at one time and you could have done worse. All in all your case was average considering everything you got. Very fun contest to play as well. Thanks

dd316 · 02-22-2006, 01:56 PM

I'd give it a 7. I'm not a huge basketball collector, but I'd be tickled to pull both a Carmelo Anthony AND Shaquille O'Neal auto/gu cards! And yes, the 1/1 probably could have been better, but it's an awesome logoman no matter who the player is. The draft hat cards are really cool too.

Plus, you got one heck a fun contest out of it.

da_man1980 · 02-22-2006, 02:05 PM

I also thought the case could've been better, so I'll give it a 6 out of 10. If you're going to bust open a case, you would like to be able to get something that you would consider a big "hit." Although the Shaq Auto/GU is nice, and at least you got a 1/1, I wouldn't consider either a big hit. Since the 1/1 is also of a player that's not even in the league right now (I think that's correct), I think you could've done much better on the case. I do think your assortment of RCs and rookie GUs and GU/Autos were adequate, but with this draft class, there aren't many "must-have" players. Overalll, it was an OK break, but I'm sure it was fun nonetheless.

statscards · 02-22-2006, 02:26 PM

I will award an 8.

There were some nice cards, but overall nothing to get over the high price of the product. The 1/1 is a bit dissapointing, but it is a cool card. The lack of low numbered cards doesnt help this product either.

umperry23 · 02-22-2006, 03:08 PM

I'll give it a 7. The Shaq and Carmelo Auto/Jerseys and the Glenn Robinson were very nice, but some of the other players like Darvin Ham and Jason Maxiell brought it down a little bit

kingofallkings · 02-22-2006, 03:36 PM

i think that case was an 8- the rookie autos that you got are pretty good - most of those guys will be good pros with green maybe even being a superstar.I pulled four tins and I didn't get any rookies with great potential. Rememeber williams or paul didn't sign as well so i think you got a good case.Felton is stud as well and I think he might end up as the third best player in the draft behind paul and williams. Also granger is going to be good as well.And on top of that a shaq and melo auto_ i think you did very well.It is hard to get better, the only auto that might have pushed you up would be wade,iverson,duncan, or a celeb.

oshmeehan · 02-22-2006, 03:49 PM

I will give you a "5" on the case.....from the regular base cards you didn't pull any real big names, and for the Rookies you didn't pull many big ones except for Paul, Marvin and maybe Frye. Red parallels could have been better too, but it was a nice pull on the Blue Bogut parallel. The game used cards left much to be desired. The auto's were probably the best of the bunch, with a Shaq, Melo and a couple Gerald Greens. And obviously the 1/1 Logoman is nice, but if they are guaranteed at 1 per case then it wouldn't have hurt if it was a better player. And oh yeah, thanks for hosting these contests!
