2016 March Madness Comic Grading Tournament---PRIZE THREAD---

[1Cool]

Is it too late to donate a prize? Sorry I've been in my own world

 

Too late unless you'd like to donate a last place prize or a prize to a random competitor.

 

Not sure why Hector's gift couldn't be added to the end of the prize list. There is so many people left to pick only the top 10 or so would not have a chance to grab his prize.

Wanted this all along. I have blu-ray discs dating back to 2006 when they first came out (Enter The Dragon)...2007 (2001 A Space Odyssey) and another dating from 2008. Never opened any of them because I've never gotten around to getting a blu-ray player. Shocking, I know!

 

It's really nice to win the one on here!

Thanks to all involved!
