Yes it does Keith - and I'm sorry to see it since CKcollectibles2 only needed to make a valid guess in the two missed rounds to have a solid shot at the contest podium.

We also missed a Round 10 guess from jason39305 - another player who almost made it to Participation Prize eligibility.

Turning to the positive - the guesses are in, and it's time to celebrate the end of this contest.

Before I announce the Podium - it's important to me to be able to clearly show the winners the scale of the prizes I made.

Scale is really difficult to tell from photos - unless you are Petespockest55.

So - here I am in my shop with all of the 15,000 Post Contest prizes lined up.

Now you can see the size of them.

Contest winners choose accordingly.

Congratulations to Petespockets55 - Champion of Nickelsearcher 15,000 Post Contest.

You may now select and announce your choice of any of the 4 Main Event prizes - you are eligible as a CCF Supporter to select the Special Prize Box if you choose to do so.

Congratulations to Zurie - You are 2nd on the Podium! Well Played indeed.

You may choose any prize remaining after Petespockets55 takes his choice. You as well are eligible as a CCF supporter to select the Special Prize box, if it remains available.

Congratulation to halfamind - You are 3rd on the Podium! Well played indeed.

You may choose the final Main Event prize, after the two other winners choose, but you are not eligible to select the Special Prize box should it remain available.

I send along a special Thank You to all of the Players who participated in this contest. I enjoyed hosting you and watching your guessing strategies.

There are 20 of you eligible for the 2 Participation Prizes. I'll host that random drawing tomorrow.

For now - we need the Main Event Winners, starting with Petespockets55 to select their prizes.

Take care friends.

Nickelsearcher, thank you for this wonderful and entertaining contest. Running a simple contest is strenuous, but one of this magnitude was incredible! And on top of that, you did it under the most challenging of circumstances. Your dedication, resilience, and perseverance are standards to which we should all aspire.
And congratulations to the winners!

Nickelsearcher, thank you so much for hosting this fun and exciting contest. I enjoyed participating very much and looked forward to each new challenge. While I was hoping to win one of your highly skilled and generous prizes, it just wasn't in the cards this time. Maybe next time!
Thank you again for all the time and effort you put into organizing the contest and making it enjoyable for everyone. It was a lot of fun!
Side Note: There were always more nickels in there than we thought.

Thanks so much @nickelsearcher for the great contest and magnificent prizes! I'm honored to be a podium winner, especially given the difficulty of the challenges. And congrats to @Petespockets for being heads and shoulders above the rest of the crowd!

Thank you all for the kind words. It's a lot of work to organize and manage a contest of this magnitude, but also very rewarding to give something back to the great CCF community.

I'll do it again at 20,000 posts assuming we are all still here.

Calling Petespockets55 - We need you to select your prize so the other podium winners can as well.

If @Petes does not show up by noon today I'll copy and paste his prize selection from an email he sent to me.

I'll get to the Participation Prize random drawing after the 3 main event prizes have been awarded.
