This is just a short little jobber to explain my latest poll. I have been reading up on the next "Crack the Ginter Code" and apparently the "be on the card" is so 2008 and this year the grand prize is an entire set of autos from their auto subjects. Unsure quite how many there are total, but cardwise, they have said there might be up to 100 code cards??? Ridiculous. Clearly they are hoping to make a killing in selling cases upon cases and profiting from ebay sales. Plus then you still have to SOLVE that damn thing!
So I propose this. We start a grassroots campaign to collect the cards, get them together, (hopefully) solve the code, and then split the autos among us. I mean hats off if there is somebody out there that is going to spend on ton on cases of cards, I am buying a few boxes, but gunna chill out after I have the base set.
So the poll is would you want to participate? I could be way off on this, but thought it might be something fun to try as a group. Vote away!

I think this is a great idea!!! I won't spend a TON on the product, but it's easily my favorite set of the past 10 years so a lot of my collecting budget will definitely be going to 09 A&G.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea too, the only thing is I might not be smart enough to figure out that code.
ReplyDeletedetails, details :) First we gather.
ReplyDeleteI'm in. I plan on picking up a box right away. After that I'll see how much I like the set but I'm sure I'll pick some up here and there.
ReplyDeletesweet, I have 3 boxes coming so should get a couple cards!
ReplyDeletei've got one box, i'm in if i pull one.
ReplyDeleteI got 4 boxes on order, so count me in.
