I'm a finalist too. I have no idea why or how, but I'm pretty stoked. So I guess there's a 2 out of 3 chance an FCBer wins!

Good luck to you, Eric.

1 out of 3...

But good luck guys.

Since there's two spots available, assuming equal odds for all six finalists, I think the chances are 60% that at least one of them makes it. 15 possible outcomes, 9 of which would include at least one of them. There's only a 1/15 chance of both getting picked though.

Good luck.

Congrats and good luck to J.P. and Eric.
It's an honor to be a part of a community alongside two guys considered for this position. I don't follow Eric, but I do know that J.P. would fit in this job like a glove.

My math's a little rusty. You're right. Still, a 3/5th chance is pretty good for the FCB Forum.

That's really awesome! Good luck you two!

I didn't make the cut. It was a fun ride though.

Hmmm...looking good for JP then. Better odds. Good luck JP!

Can't argue with a free box for trying!

Good luck man!

On a side note.... What do you think about Mark Montgomery? I've been following him since he was with Tampa after I saw him strike out something like 6 out 7 hitters faced.

Impressive RP. Can't believe he didn't make BA's NYY top 10. Expect him in the Bronx sometime next year.

Thanks! I've been hoarding his Contenders autos ever since I saw him pitch live. They rarely show up and now pop off at $20+

Hey JP. Did they give you a timeframe on when you would find out whether you won or not?

JP, from what I can tell, you're more qualified than your modesty is revealing: you know both the prospect landscape and the baseball card business from multiple perspectives. Best wishes in the contest.

The announcement will likely be made by the end of the week.

Yeah. The strange part is they haven't mentioned anything about the box yet. I hope they come through on that promise. Either way, the employee I spoke with said he had some ideas as to how I'd be able to help the company in the future. As an 18 year old, I can't complain about that type of opportunity.

Good luck JP. It sounds like you really deserve this!

Rooting for you JP. ...and you were hesitant to enter the contest in the beginning...tsk..tsk
