The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
We are down to the last 2 days for members to donate and be entered for the Grand Prize.
Donate now. You can't win if you haven't entered.
I'll be making a donation tomorrow
I should mention that as always, we also have several cool items that entrants are eligible for. Some cool Don Maitz original sketches, a McVey original sketch, a signed poster (or maybe more), a book or two.
If you win a "bonus" item, you are still eligible for the Grand Prize!
No.
As always, a donor may confirm with me that their donation(s) was received.
The Grand Prize winner is always disclosed (member name, not legal name address etc.)
There are quite a few donors that understandably don't want their name on a public "list" as to how much they donated. Most members are happy to say they donated, but not everyone wants the amount they donated disclosed.
I mentioned how many specific people donated, and the total amount they donated, but NEVER disclosed who donated and how much.
It was mentioned to let people know that there were very few total donors, and thus a small pool that the winner would be chosen from. Nothing like the 1/1 million chance.
Don't quote me on the exact odds, but without a doubt they are less than 1/1 million. Just a guess, but more like 1/1,000. There were only ~1,000 "tickets" last year and far less than 1,000 individual entrants. Some genius help me with the math, but at ~1,000 single tickets, and no single person allowed more than 10 tickets, the odds are less than 1/1,000 per donor.
It is my dream to win this and have King put in a book what I want (hoping he does and he has in the past mind you)... NOWHERE else in the world can a King collector have this chance. THANKS RF for making that a possibility brother.

Just threw some more $$ in, high hopes this year!
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Thanks.
As you probably know, my performance review is based upon comp sales (sales increase/decrease vs. one year ago). The last few years I haven't received a raise. Fortunately, I am paid $zero. Perhaps as important is that I haven't had a salary deduction, and perhaps even better (for myself and others who enjoy the forum) I am not the victim of a RIF.
I threw a 20 spot at it.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
