Congrats Gsims! What a last round you had!

[Conan_Aficionado]

Congrats to Gsims on a victory well earned, now on to the more important matter of the prizes

[toro]

My downfall was pulling out the Overstreet guide on the TOD, which states a book with a moderate stain will get a 5.0. I started at 6.5 and brought it down all the way to a 5. What a maroon I am.

I was dreading clicking into the thread!
