Ok...I'll be flexible!  But since it's the new years, the entries are now closed. There have been a lot of great entries, so I'll have to give this some thought.  |

Thanks again for everyone's participation and submissions! There have been a lot of great contributions to the forums, and this was a hard decision. On the other hand, one submission in particular really stood out to me. I cannot think of a more deserving post for how it got everyone involved and touched the life of a young collector. For many of us, this took our modest hobby to another level, and really captured the essence of Christmas to me. So congrats to Vermontensium for this great nomination, Metalman for organizing this wonderful idea, and for all who participated.  In the next couple of days, I'll post a list of prizes to choose from. Then again, I know we've all won already.    |

Hi Kurt
Wow ! I made the post but all of those who sent the gifts made the day ! This little girl has a great start on this hobby and a heart full of appreciation to the all these wonderful people who would give so generously to someone they do not even know !
as far as a prize for the post , while I feel its entirely undeserved , the McDonald's would be great ! I love the Australian pre decimals !
Thank you so much for the generous choices !
