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.

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.
