And the Winners of JD's World Cup Tournament are...

Well folks, sorry for the one-day delay on the results of the competition. I was still mourning the loss of the Ellsbury rip card that I could not muster the energy to run the 470 entrants through random.org....and then when I did finally run them the first time...Internet Explorer crashed! I just stared dumbfounded at the screen hoping there was a loophole. And sure enough there was...type them again! That god for Excel.

And as it appears, parody has once-again seized the day and all three winners turned sub-par performances by their World Cup team into JD's Wildcardz contest GOLD! Let's meet the winners.






Representing Mexico, and first place in the contest is.....GRAND CARDS!

Representing Nigeria and taking second place is.....Night Owl!

And wrapping up the top-three and bringing a little justice to a decidedly sub-par powerhouse of Italy......DarkShip!

I have held off finalizing prizes since it will give me a chance to customize them a little for you...Grand Cards and Night Owl, I know your collection interests just fine, but DarkShip, I need to hear from you with some ideas on who you collect please.

Congrats, and thanks to everybody for taking part in the contest!
