Promo Column 20th Anniv. - Contest Question Clarification
I regret that I was not as clear as I should have been regarding the Contest Question in the current issue of NSU. Here it is, restated.

Only 5 manufacturers have released at least one promo card for over 100 different series of trading cards.

- Can you name the manufacturers?
- List them in descending order by the number of series (possible tie breaker)
- Promo sheets, sell sheets, promo panels, toys etc. do not count
- This is not a trick question. Limit your counts to only series released or announced over the past 20 years.

What can you win? Good question! Read my column. Smile

Good Luck

I considered entering - but figured since I am an NSU employee, I would be disqualified. Anyway, I could only think of 4 manufacturers - and had no clue as to what order they'd be in.

This was a tough one -

My bad! A winner was determined (actually 2). The results will be published in the next issue. (another shameless attempt at forcing people to read my column).

I have not notified the winners yet but I will in a day or so. All entrants will receive something so it is a matter of contacting everyone and making sure that I can dig out what I need (before making contact) in consolation prizes.

The consolation prizes will be of the convention Promo persuasion too. Smile
