A Contest! And It's Easy!

CSN Stores contacted me about doing a giveaway for my readers. After doing some research I decided to go for it, but add my own spin on things to sweeten the deal for you guys too.

Read on...

Have you ever heard of CSN Stores? Well, they have just about anything you could ever want from over 200 stores. They sell licensed MLB items, boxes and packs of baseball cards and football, basketball, hockey cards, WWE cards, sports equipment, modern office furniture, and tons of other awesome things! Seriously, you can get pretty much anything at their stores.


Here's the rundown on the contest. CSN Stores is giving me a $50 gift code to any CSN store for you to purchase anything you'd like! Personally, I'd buy some cards, or something that says "Phillies" on it, but you might need something for your home, office, kitchen, pet, etc. You get the idea. 

In addition to the $50 CSN gift code, I'm throwing in a 2011 Topps Series 1 rack pack to the winner, and also to 2nd and 3rd place. So in this contest if you come in second or third place you are a winner too.  It's just "funner" that way.

Here is how you can enter:

1. Leave a Comment Here--it can say anything you're feeling at the moment--that gets you one entry

2. Promote my Contest on your Blog and/or Twitter--that gets you another entry--but please let me know that you did so!

3. Follow my Blog--if you already follow my blog, in your comment tell me you do, and there are your two entries right there.

So each person can enter up to three times.

I'll be using random dot org to pick the winners, and I'll post screen shots.  If the same person falls in first, second and/or third place, I'll move on to the next name to make it fair. Only one win per person.

The contest ends on Monday, February 14th at Noon EST. 

Have fun and thanks for reading my blog!

    CSN has been good to me as well - they are great blog sponsors! As for the contest, I'd like to enter for the cards only (should I win the CSN code, give it to someone else, I already have my own sponsorship with them - might as well spread the love around a bit)! I'm also a follower now.
