If you're somebody who has ever uttered the words "they call themselves experts, I know more than they do, I must be an expert, too," you're going to love the January issue of Tuff Stuff's Sports Collectors Monthly.

The January issue, which will be out on newsstands on Dec. 16, will let you lock horns with our panel of experts, as we look into our crystal balls and predict how the sports world and the hobby will play out in 2009. It's called "Exposing the Experts" and if you can take down our panel, you could win an outstanding prize package valued at more than $1,000.

Whether it's LeBron edging Kobe for MVP honors or UD SP Rookie Threads edging out Topps Stadium Club for best overall product, you pick the winners and then see how your predictions faired against our experts. Each week starting Jan. 5, we will unveil a new question on the website and let visitors to www.tuffstuff.com have their say as well. We'll display the visitor votes, our expert panel's votes and then compare them all to those who answered via the survey in the Jan. issue. As the answers to the questions are revealed, we'll post the results on www.tuffstuff.com so you can see how you are stacking up against the competition. The person who has answered the most questions after all 25 answers are revealed wins the prize package.

The details of the contest are still being finalized right now but once everything becomes official, I'll make sure they become available to you so you can take your shot at "Exposing the Experts" and win some great prizes in the process. Stay tuned.
