Last Round

[Loki]

I'll add this one to the list, shipped at my expense.

 

First Frank Miller DD and it looks a LOT nicer than the assigned grade. Plus I'll toss in a handful of readers for whoever picks it up.

 

[Flee-Marquette]

I will throw this in the mix.

 

[gernblanston]

I will throw a couple Bronze Age firsts in...and a Miracleman 1 too.

So when do we find out who won what? And are any of you other tightwads going to donate anything?

[shiverbones]

Crud! I forgot about that Awesome Action comics! I should have played harder.

[thirdgreenham]

Well, someone has to take charge here. I'll step in temporarily until Silvers wakes up from his nap.

 

To quote Toro:

 

Last year when I won, I sort of decided the rules for that contest. It went like a draft. The top 5 picked in order of finish. I also had the person who had the most right without a negative get a pick and the Rookie of the year got a pick.

 

Last year there wer 17 gifts.

 

Finisher one got: 5 picks

 

Finisher two got 4 picks

 

Finisher three had 3 picks

 

Finisher four got 2

 

Finisher five got 1

 

Rookie of the year 1

 

And most right without going negative got 1 pick.

 

So it went finisher 1 picks one item, finisher 2 picks one item etc. Then it goes back to finisher one.

 

But there are no hard set of rules. One other year I think the winner received everything, I myself wanted it to be more open and reward those who stuck it out to the end.

 

I also will be submitting a prize just got to find something first.

We can start the prize choosing after the people who've posted more than one book for donation, let me know if they're donating one prize of multiple books, or multiple donations to spread it out. After I find that out, I'll edit my post here and we can get going. I'd say we follow Toro's rules from last year unless anyone has any other suggestions. :shrug:

 

Thanks,

Andy,

 

Spread the wealth! Make my donation (X-Men #198 CGC 9.6 and X-Men #199 CGC 9.6) 2 prizes instead of one. (thumbs u

 

Mike

[sckao]

 

Agreed. Let's spread the wealth. Please make my Marvel Vault and DC Vault prizes two separate prizes. (thumbs u

I'll leave the rules up to the winner, Toro. When he chimes in, we can start to set in stone this year's rules for prizes. k?
