Win this Auto: Dozen cards

It's going to be hard to top last month's offering, a Team Canada puck autographed by Hall of Famer and Islanders legend Denis Potvin, mostly because I've paid more attention to what I've been getting signed.

That's why this month's Win this Auto contest here at Hound Central 4.0 pushes quantity -- as in a dozen autographed cards -- more than quality -- let's be honest, though talented enough to play in the NHL, it's doubtful any will take a place next to Potvin in hockey's hallowed hall.

All things considered, though, there's no reason to scoff at the offering. A dozen autographs is, indeed, a dozen autographs. And, who knows, I might even tuck a couple more into the package.

So, what's the assignment? In 100 words or less, tell me about the best card you've pulled out of a pack. Was it a favorite player? A sweet autographed patch card? Are you in the background? Let me know.

The best tale wins these autographs:
