His prize was described in the extremely complicated code in my latest Gint-A-Cuffs post. The secret code directed my readers to my first ever post, where a Morse code asked them to post a comment using a certain word or phrase.
Mark was the first to post a comment on "A Brief Introduction..." here on the PunkRockPaint Blog.
Mark's prize for cracking the code was (as the morse code said):
-... . / - .... . / ..-. .. .-. ... - / - --- / -.-. --- -- -- . -. - / ..- ... .. -. --. / - .... . / .-- --- .-. -.. ... / .-..-. .- .-.. .-.. . -. / .- -. -.. / --. .. -. - . .-. .-..-. / .. -. / - .... .. ... / .--. --- ... - / .- -. -.. / .-- .. -. / .- .-.. .-.. . -. / .- -. -.. / --. .. -. - . .-. / ..- -. .-. .. .--. .--. . -.. / -.-. .- .-. -.. ... / -. ..- -- -... . .-. . -.. / - --- / -.... ..... --..-- / .- -. -.. / ----. ----- / --- ..-. / ----. ----.
"BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT USING THE WORDS "ALLEN AND GINTER" IN THIS POST AND WIN ALLEN AND GINTER UNRIPPED CARDS NUMBERED TO 65, AND 90 OF 99"
A worthy prize for his fantastic effort. Unfortunately, my first post was TECHNICALLY on Things Done to Cards - 1997 Circa Fast Track.
This is what waited there:
... .- -.-- / .... .. / .. -. / - .... . ... . / -.-. --- -- -- . -. - ... / -... . ..-. --- .-. . / .- -. -.-- --- -. . / .--. --- ... - ... / --- -. / .- / -... .-. .. . ..-. / .. -. - .-. --- -.. ..- -.-. - .. --- -. / --- -. / .--. ..- -. -.- .-. --- -.-. -.- .--. .- .. -. - / .- -. -.. / -.-- --- ..- / -.-. .- -. / .... .- ...- . / .- -. -.-- / .... .. - / ..-. .-. --- -- / -- -.-- / -... --- -..- / --- ..-. / .- .-.. .-.. . -. / .- -. -.. / --. .. -. - . .-.
Which translates to:
Say hi in these comments before anyone posts on a brief introduction on punkrockpaint and you can have any hit from my box of allen and ginter.
Bummer.
Well, Mark, send me your address and I will get the booby prize sent right out:
ALLEN AND GINTER UNRIPPED CARDS NUMBERED TO 65, AND 90 OF 99
2004 Topps Retired Signature Black - Richie ALLEN #90/99
2000 Ultimate Victory Parallel 100 - Matt GINTER #65/100
Both cards are, of course, UNRIPPED. I will gladly tear them up if you would like. :)

Well played, sir.
- 75 points for tricking the commissioner.
+ 5 for being true to your word.
See you in Gint-A-Cuffs Hades.
What? Huh? There was a contest?
Yeah, I'm with Night Owl... I obviously fell asleep at some point...
Wait? Where's my booby prize. I smell a scam.
