When I decided to enter a scratchcard tournament at
Tribe Cards, I figured I'd go a few rounds and end up losing to someone luckier than I. I had no idea that it would be one and done. It was a hard fought loss that went to the bitter end. I am better for the experience.
To keep those of us non-winners interested while the other action was continuing, David threw out quite a few trivia questions. They were tricky, but fun. I had a wonderful time seeking out the answers. I still felt that I was in competition, even though I never made it past the first round of the tournament. Bravo!
For my early exit and efforts in the trivia portions of the posts, I received this rather large pile of cards in the mail today. I certainly wasn't expecting this much, but David is a giving soul. Any numbered item, game-used item or autographed item, I would assume would be part of the tournament prizes. But you know what happens when one assumes. You make an ass out of you and Uma Thurman. Let's dig in!

Where do I even begin here? Well, this would be my first card of a game used base. That's really cool. The rest is just pure awesome! Thanks, David! You have run the best online scratchoff tournament I have ever played in! The prizes are awesome and the experience was a blast!
