It's A Contest

My wife went on vacation for a week and took the car, so I took some time off of work and sorted cards yesterday and today.  I sorted by teams so if there is a team you are interested in please let me know.  A few teams are already spoken for, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Dodgers, A's, Cardinals and Padres.  Any other team I will be happy to send you the cards I have.  There is a wide variety of years and products mainly from the last ten years or so.  
So here is the contest portion of the post.  As I sorted all those cards by team I pulled out the autographs, relics and serial numbered items.  Then I thought well I have some blasters around why not open those and sort them by team.  
So the way to enter the contest is to guess how many autographs, relics and serial numbered cards I end up with including what I already opened.  The person who comes closest without going over will be the grand prize winner.  The Grand Prize winner will get to choose first as to what of the relics, autographs and serial numbered cards.  Everyone else will be randomized into a draft order.  The Grand Prize winner will get to choose multiple cards in the first round and then will pick first in each subsequent round.  It will depend on the number of items available and the number of entrants how many rounds there will be and how many cards the grand prize winner can choose in the first round.  
The contest will be open until I get all the blasters opened and sorted and then the draft will be once I get everything scanned.  
Hope to hear from many of you.  
Now I am off to open blasters and watch the Padres and Yankees.

If it includes the cards you sorted before the blasters, I'll say 57. If it is just the blasters I'll say 19. I'm also in for any unwanted Braves cards.

I guess 32. I would be happy to take any unwanted Rays/Devil Rays cards you have. Thanks for the contest, Rod. Hope you pulled some nice Padres.

If I were opening them, I'd guess 0 but since you're opening them, I'll go with 15. I'll take any unwanted White Sox cards as well since you're feeling generous.
