Announcement: Contest Winners!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the "how many commons" contest.  There were 38 entries, and they looked something like this: 667, 4500, 5280, 6500, 4321, 1200, 2900, 2724, 2328, 2967, 1987, 2686, 4299, 5480, 487, 2400, 12100, 6135, 917, 8173, 1111, 2131, 2335, 1999, 1001, 1684, 7213, 3800, 3459, 3215, 2349, 2011, 4289, 7010, 897, 2371, 4777, 3333. 
The high guess was 12,100, the low guess was 487.  So just how many common cards were in that box?
The winning picks--the closest without going over--were David with a guess of 3800, and Dustin at Coot Veal and the Vealtones with a guess of 3686.   Congrats guys!
David, please email me and let me know which rack pack you'd like, along with the game used card you'd like and let me know who you collect, too, so I can throw in some other cards.  Dustin, please email me your top two choices from the list below, along with your address.

Game used/auto choices are:
2006 UD Ultra Fine Fabrics Sean Burroughs g/u jersey
2011 Gypsy Queen David DeJesus auto
2004 Bowman Sterling Hank Blalock g/u bat
2004 Flair Diamond Cuts Scott Rolen g/u jersey
2010 Topps Silk Collection Gabe Gross 45/50
2010 Allen & Ginter Kendry Morales g/u bat
2007 UD Game Materials Scott Kazmir g/u jersey
2008 SP Legendary Cuts Dan Hard g/u jersey

The closest "over" guess was Trey with a guess of 4289--105 off of the total.  That deserves a card or two.  Trey, email me your address and since I see you collect Astros I'll send a card or two your way. 

Thanks again to everyone who participated.  I hope you had fun. 

By the way, some of you expressed your sympathies for me having to count each and every card...actually it didn't take too long! Once I started I just couldn't stop.
