My 1 And Only PC Card. – CONTEST ENTRY
My 1 And Only PC Card
By: Mike Leno
Everyone on the amazing Sports Cards Forum has a Personal Collection (PC) in their life. One of my PC cards is my Ray Allen/Rodney Stuckey/Nick Young Triple Topps Autograph card. Many members on the forum might already know how I received the card, but I will happily show it off once again.
So in this forum, we have plenty of contests. I won this card by having to join a NBA contest that took close to a year of hard work. Each day, the forum put up many games that we had to guess the winner. Each month, the moderators counted up the total wins and place the top 3 members who got the most correct picks in the annual playoff contest. I only won on one of the final months of the contest and was extrememely excited for the playoffs to begin. My luck on the forum has not been too great, so I doubt that I would win. I did not have many great high end cards, because I never began collecting cards until January 2009 when I joined Sports Cards Forum. I usually got my autos in person on index cards, paper, or basketballs. Since joining the site, I took in the hobby of collecting cards but never gotten many great cards until winning the contest.
During the playoffs, I scouted every team and every stat the team had. My hard work helped me get success on the contest. The final game of the NBA playoffs was one of the highest risks I took in my life of sports cards collecting. Anyways, I was tied for 4th place which would have gotten me some NBA 2008 Rookie cards. I knew I had to take the chance to jump ahead of everyone to get the top prize that had a BV of $50. It was game 5 of the finals and many scouts and fans predicted the Orlando Magics to win the game at home to force a game 6. I examined all the possibilities of my prediction before posting my prediction on the thread that contained the contest. I chose the Los Angeles Lakers to win even when every other member chose the home team Magics to win. I was really scared and knew it was a big risk. Therefore, I did not watch the game and instead went to work out at a close by 24/7 Fitness Center that night. The game was always in my mind but I was too scared to watch it. Later, I came home and quickly went on the forum to see if anyone updated the standings. BOOM! I almost busted out crying when I saw the score of the game which bumped me to first place. My predicted Lakers won!
In conclusion, taking many risks in life may help or burn you. My risky decision that would have gotten me no cards or the best card was very crazy. Therefore, the Ray Allen/Rodney Stuckey/Nick Young Triple Topps Autograph card is my all-time favorite card. (Sorry, I have no scans of the card)
