What a great contest! What a great Collectibles store! Are suppliers to Doug Laurie Sports eligible for the contest?

 

[Cardboardkid]

Thank you for doing this!!!... not to demean the contest prizes (which are incredible)but is this one of the autopen books? Or hand signed? Cheers!!! Paul!

 

[DougLaurieSports]

Nope, the Gretzky is hand-signed. The autopenned versions are done in black and on the blank page after the "99" page.

Totally fine if you aren't willing to answer, but I'd love to hear how much money this has raised for the site!

You will be able to tell by how many entries there are in Wayne’s contest.

And sure I’ll share it at the end anyway.

Ha, true. Good point. I wasn’t planning on participating since I donated recently (not recently enough!) but hope it raises a lot for the site! Excited to hear the final count.

 

[geschrocks33]

Haven't donated in a while, this is a good excuse to throw some funds down. Hope this helps raise a bunch!

 

[eishelges]

Will also send some donation! Thank you for doing this and thanks for that great hobby site!!!

Guys, just a head's up that Jeremy has been and is unavailable due to some unforeseen circumstances until Friday or Saturday of this week. As a result of that, we have decided to extended the contest until Friday, Feb. 21, at 11:59 PM EST.

Once Jeremy's available again, I'll post here and then let you know when we will be drawing the winners. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
