Surprised that didn't go much earlier

  

  

I am surprised this was still around myself.  I was also surprised to find out I got to pick.  Congrats to all the contest winners.

No one claims last two prizes?

And I even added one more last min prize. I'm sure the picking will continue sometime today. I'll have to go back and see where they left off yesterday.

I leave that up to torch, pretty sure he stopped with the last 2 prizes and 2 people that were skipped so they could still get something when they came back.  Also the added prize, that is also up to torch.  I was just keeping things moving along to help him out. 🙂

That's where I'm at.  2 prizes and 2 guys who were skipped.  Not sure what to do with the added prize  .   Flashlites, if you want to offer it to the next guy on the list that's cool and kind.

I do want to thank blowupthemoon and Shin for running this contest so well for so long.  It's an awful lot of work and commitment and it isn't cheap to get these books all graded.  A shout out also to NostalgicAttic for starting this thing up years ago.

I want to thank all those who entered and battled to win this thing.   It's fun and it's good for the community and I think it's well worth doing.

Thanks to Crops for wading in, doing the play by play and recapping the action and helping out, and to 01TheDude for his keen eyes, appreciate the help guys.  Most of all thanks for the donations guys.  Every year I start this thread and worry that nobody will chip in and this thread will crash and burn and every year nice prizes roll in.

We have 2 guys who've been skipped, one guy on a timer, and three remaining prizes.

@ChrispyC66 if any of these guys pass on their pick you're up.

 

 

  

@flashlites I am the next guy on the list. @thehumantorch can confirm.

I’d love your prize offer. I’ll PM my details and we’ll make it happen if torch confirms.
