Guys I am just 2 books away from fulfilling this huge life long, bucket list dream! If you had asked me 6-7 years ago I would have probably told you all that it was likely just a dream that would never come true. Thanks to you all here at the boards, your help, encouragement and inspiration has made all the difference! Your knowledge shared in the Flash collectors thread, those of you that had leads for me to chase down, some of you went out to your LCS and helped me find some of these books. Many, many thanks to you all!

 

P.S.

The next issue was ordered today! :gossip:

Were getting down to the wire. Time to post how each contestant wound up with the picks they got.  If you at all confused by this dont feel alone, at this point so am I. lol

 

First I assigned each contestant a number 1 to 14 since there were 14 contestants. These were roughly in the order that folks signed up.

1) Crops068   

2) comicjack    

3) ADAMANTIUM   

4) comicdonna  

5) Joe Ankenbauer - Math Teacher

6) Electricprune 

7) Chrispyc66    

8) Spawnfreak    

9) Warlord       

10) Fan Boy     

11) Comics4All  

12) aardvark88 

13) William-James88  

14) comicginger1789

 

Then I ran  randomizer rourtine to put the contestants in a random order.

Here is your sequence:

12
 7
 6
 1
 3
 5
 8
 4
14
 2
13
10
11
 9

Timestamp: 2020-08-18 02:39:44 UTC
