Since most us know what's it like to miss the Convention at some point in it's 20 year history, here's a contest for those of our fellow members who can't make it to the Convention this year. Folks like Bob, Barry, Allan, Shoop, Jill B. and all the others. I'm going to miss seeing some long time friends.

Each year the Museum of Gaming History sells the famous Grab Bags full of collectibles generously stuffed with donations from our fellow members and other supporters. The have sold out every year! And quickly I might add. This is the only hint you'll get!

Here's the contest - Post a response to this message with day of the Convention and the time (hour and minute) that the last bag sells. Example "Saturday, 10:45 a.m." That's it. Person that comes closest to the actual time we sell the last bag, wins the prize below. If anyone quesses the EXACT day and time (to the minute), I'll pickup something extra at the Convention and send it to you.

As posted in the Convention schedule, here are the times the bourse floor will be open. Thursday @ 9:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., Friday @ 9:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and Saturday @ 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

Here are the rules:

1. It's my contest, my rules, no whining!
2. You must be a member
3. You must NOT be attending the Convention for any length of time
4. You must post you first and last name, along with your membership number
5. You must post your guess in the reply line to this message, as shown in the example "Saturday, 10:45 a.m.". No emails and don't put it inside the response. I won't look.
6. Your guess can only include the days and times the show floor is open (No Tuesday at 12 Midnight)
7. The contest closes on Thursday, June 21 @ 9:30 a.m. (when the show opens)
8. The winner will be posted on Sunday after I return from the Convention
9. Only one entry per person
10. The winner will have 1 week from my post announcing his/her name to email me their shipping address, if not, I'll award the prize to some one else
11. If you don't like any of these rules, don't play. It's that simple!
12. Any disputes, see the first rule
