Opening Day Contest

I picked up a box of this at one of my local card shops for $15. Cheap wax means giveaways. And giveaways means a contest.
I had planned on doing a pack war type of contest, but then Play at the Plate started one. I thought about it for a few days.... but decided to just have one anyways. Pack wars are fun, right?

So here's the deal. 36 packs means 36 spots. The first 36 people who sign up will be in. Leave a comment about your favourite pizza, your favourite baseball team, your favourite Brave, and your favourite non-Brave.

EDIT: we are full up, but if you haven't entered already, sign up anyway and I'll have some sort of bonus round.

Official Made Up Rules posted on Monday sometime.....
