It is nice that the prize was won by someone who would really appreciate it, building memories that will be treasured for years to come. I definitely love seeing someone’s life being positively impacted by the hobby as opposed to some snobby dealer getting this prize and making money off others. Way To Go!!!

I expected the meet & greet to be in a bit more of a personal or dedicated space for this event. Still it’s awesome for this guy to have had this opportunity to meet Kobe and I think his happiness says it all. What a memorable occasion. Congratulations

As I alluded to in earlier comments after the winner was announced: The right guy won this prize. Congratulations again, Mr. Gauder. You taught your daughters many lessons in class they will never forget.
