[Kage X]

Well, I'm still waiting for news on my prize. No replies of any sort yet from PipChick/Paul/JPGames despite my PMs.

[Bluemanta]

I got my prize today. Thanks to Justin at Jamm Pakd Cards for his donation and all who were involved in running the DOTY comp.

Hey, for those that already got their prizes, you could share some more pics with us? A lot of random and mysterious prizes were taken, we gotta know what you got!

Sorry for the delay, I already received my prizes, but I am kinda busy since then (Already told the prize giver so he knows it got here safely). I will post pictures probably this weekend.

PipChick gonna pick those winners or....coz i don't think she's really been that active( also keeping in mind the current state of things) so maybe we can have someone else pick winners? or shall we wait for Pip to say something?

I can't speak on Pip's behalf. But I would say we wait for Pip, since the prices won't run away.

[Eric Lee]

Can any mod step in to help confirm what to do with the remaining unclaimed prizes?

[drifter779]

Getting lost on this. I have claimed my prize but am I suppose to contact anyone to have them ship to me?

[SirCrunoke]

Yes, you should contact the owner of the prize. If it is you that is paying for you could ask about how to pay for. If it is the giver to pay the price you could forward with your adress.

Finally managed to find the time to get the unboxing video done for Chris aka theCapraAegagrus' DOTY 2019 prize donation. (See the packing video here )

My sincere apologies for the delay. I got the package last month but only recently managed to give it the proper unboxing video it deserves. Doing live unscripted, unedited videos is actually harder than it looks. Also hard to it , when you got kids running around the house.

But got it done and here it is. I gotta say I'm glad I'm not a tuckist, perfectionist collector or reseller. I'll be in tears if I was! Big thanks to you for the decks, Chris!

(Please forgive the errors. This is my first time doing something like this and it's actually not easy to see the deck and while ensuring everything's ok on the phone screen at the same time. )

Dang my heart aches watching those damaged decks... While TwoPiece gave us a good laugh, it's definitely not a good feeling seeing the terrible condition of some of those decks... rip

Nice! Well done video.

Killer Bees was actually the "Test Deck" that I was using to stick-handle/shoot for a few weeks before filming the packing video. I also signed that deck; You can see the red Sharpie over the gold foil details.

The Madison deck was trash before I touched it.

Yeah, it hurt to watch. Don't quite understand the reasoning myself.

Maybe next year it'll be a bonfire of 12 decks and then sending a box of ash to the winner.

[Harvonsgard]

It would save shipping cost, since all 12 decks might fit in an envelope then .

Rough memory: I didn't like the idea of selecting prizes based on their financial 'value'. I vowed to start donating good decks, damaged, to encourage people to open and using good decks of cards.

Something like that. I'm changing up they way they're dinged to keep things interesting.

[Timmargh]

Got it; thanks for the clarification.

After a post office blunder* and a pandemic, I finally received my awesome prize from HFMJ! Behold, the NPCCD 2019 set:

I'll hold off on opening them until I know I'll have enough time to really appreciate everything

*When I first got notified that they were ready to pick up from my local post office, I arrived and gave them the pickup code only to find out that they had been sent to a different city. They told me "No problem, I'll request it sent here". I didn't mind waiting a few extra days, but when I checked the tracking the next day it had been returned to sender! I called customer service, but there was nothing they could do, it was already on its way back. Then the pandemic hit, so everything was put on hold for a good while.

[Bradius]

Wow MagikFingerz, that is an amazing story. You have a real globe trotting deck. I hope you will be pleased with it and the production that MPC did for that deck.

Wondering if anyone got their prize from JP Game?

I manage to contact them but they mentioned to me all prizes are claimed....... they are trying to figure out what happen.....

[portcullis]

I got my brick from JP Games MONTHS AGO ... without going through my emails I'd say I got mine 6mo ago. Definitely in not-Covid times.

Weird... till now I have not gotten mine and I have trouble proving to them I am one of the winner...... and just yesterday they told me all the prizes are claimed so they have to check and verify what I said....
