I turn 500 Posts Old Today (Contest Time)

Contest Closed


My post Sunday was #500! I couldn't be more happy how things have progressed with Bob Walk the Plank. The blog started because collecting was becoming stale for me. Craving interaction I started trading relentlessly. As we stand now I've received 187 trade packages! While it will be hard to keep this pace, trading will always remain the blogs main purpose.

The cool thing about all the trading is the bonds I've developed with so many of you. I appreciate all the emails and comments and truly feel that I've made a whole new group of friends. Our hobby has its share of shady people, but the blogosphere made me realize that their are still plenty of good people out there. 



Ok, enough sappy stuff. Time for free cards! I like keeping my contests as simple as possible.  All you need to do is comment below (make sure you are following the blog) and that gets you entered. I'll close things off later this week and pick 3 winners via random.org. Once the winners are picked I'll do a little customized shopping to make sure the cards are tailored to your collection. No extra entries for a blog plug, but my usual protocol is to add more winners if the response is good. So if you want to share by all means share.

Thanks again for all of you who continue to read and comment. On to the next 500!

  22. Kudos! I would make some reference to The Proclaimers song 500 Miles, but I never cared for that song. Still congratulations are in order.

    At my current rate I should reach 500 in the next year or two.
