You have to find the thumbnail photos.

The good news for you, is that they are all in one place.

Seven years ago I started to build a GA library for the forums. It's a never ending job. To date there are 4222 individual forum pages in THE GOLD READING ROOM, each page containing about 15 or so individual comic book pages.

Along the way I have planted these 10 thumbnail avatar pics randomly. Your job is to find all ten. A page may contain one or more...or it may not.

I suggest you name each pic as you find it with the exact page number.

The first person to find all 10 is the winner.

Remember the spirit of the season and don't cheat.

It would be cool if when you find a pic, you could maybe update the thread accordingly, so we can get some idea of progress.

Good Luck fellas.   

do we submit page numbers with pics in the pm that we started to join the contest?

you mentioned to update how many we've found here too, but just so we know? the official submitted answer is in one post in the pm?

You don't have to update the thread as you go along, that was just something I thought would be fun. It goes without saying, but if you do that don't mention the page number because others may still be looking for it.

When you have all 10 just send me a pm with the 10 thumbnails and their equivalent page number.

Oh no.  This is a race?  

I couldn't even think about starting this until the weekend.  Some of us have real jobs you know.

Needle meet haystack, but I have found 1 Uno!

Would help to know if the pics were in order  But I've almost memorized what I'm looking for, but then again it is "needles" in a haystack  

I'm taking time to eat, breath and otherwise sustain living, but I see 10 days in my future haha no worries!

[s-man]

I thought this was gonna be easier, like guessing how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop 

[Galen130]

I don't spend as much time on the boards as I used to, so I don't see this going far for me.  Good luck, all!!!

I'd be interested who won it last time? If there was a last time?

indeed. There are not really any clues to the pages, I feel like even if they "were in order" that I'd go through some pages and miss one not knowing where  

[ADAMANTIUM]

I say that we set a time limit and then whomever has found the most wins  maybe someone would get lucky and find a page with more than one and be ahead ...

idk just a thought  

[Axelrod]

I'm going to lie and say I have almost got them all to demotivate everyone else.

Well I said 10 days, happy to extend until someone finds them. They're guaranteed. I will not do anything else with the prizes. they will be boxed up soon ready to ship....whenever that may be.

There are two ways to do this. Randomly select pages and keep a note of the page number so you don't do it again....and hope you get lucky.....OR....systematically go thru' every page where you are guaranteed to find them.

No problem. I imagine with others that "time is a factor" and yet 10 days sounds reasonable, and yet this thread is quite the accomplishment for scanning comics  edit to say, which also took time

Thank you. I don't often get any recognition for it.
