1. How many career touchdown passes has Favre thrown?

1. According to Beckett.com, how many football cards does Brett Favre appear on? (Hint: Look for the box below.)

2. What college football team did he play for?

3. Which NFL team drafted him?

The 44th person who answers both questions correctly wins. Remember to include your name and email address with your entry… or you will be disqualified.

Be sure to refresh on the contests throughout the day — we’re giving entries with wrong answers the boot and approving those comments first.

Everyone’s waiting for people to be #1-40, though. :P

If you wait, you lose… because we’re closing in on it. The answers are popping up in bunches of 2 and 3 at a time.

Comment by houstoncollector

Keep ‘em coming… looks like that technical roadblock has slowed some of you guys down.

Stay tuned for the final contest… an Exquisite Collection Chris Paul Logoman patch card!

Comment by Brian Brockett

please redo the contest, too many issues

From mod: Nope. As long as collectors have either answer they are OK.

Comment by Ray Molina

Or are the guesses not showing?

The time-out issue on Beckett.com has likely slowed people down.

Comment by chrisolds

i hope beckett craps out on me next time…

From mod: Guess you won’t be winning the award for the fewest complaints on Free Stuff Friday. AND either answer was acceptable, so the hiccups didn’t hurt anyone who had correct answers.

Comment by Matt Hastings

There is a prize for that?????????? I also disagree that the fact that there were technical issues changed the outcome of the contest. But hey, it’s your folks show and it is Free. I won several times a few weeks ago..so all in good fun here. Now on with that My Little Pony set that Olds promised me.
