Take

Yay! I was just about to remind people the later my box gets picked, the bigger it will be. . . .

Love it when that happens!

Was in my top 10, i LOVE that cover and its a great recreation!

Wahoo! Cant wait to see what @1Cool puts together for me!

Some one note that an Action Comics 1 was offered in the 2020 Holiday Raffle, that should raise the bar for next year!

This is like when the sure thing #1 guy slips in the NFL draft. Did Greggy's mystery box fail a drug test? Did it get dragged out of a stripclub fight the night before the draft? Does Kevin Costner just think he doesnt have it?

i'll take WAR IS HELL 9 - 7.0 OW $30 Eternals 2 - 7.0 CROW $12

The Injustice Gods Aming Us Vol 1 omnibus for starters...

Il be here live, but if i can ill get my list in too..

Heritage, yes. Some other sites, yes ComicConnect, i cant remember.

From @Kramerica! Lets see how the elves did. Oooh a new HC of my favorite guy, Hal Jordan! And some lovely upgrades for my Green Lantern run! And something new to read that ive never seen! I LOVE elseworld stories and such a shiny cover, very cool. Well done my man, well done! Thanks so much

I was looking back at past raffles and there's stuff that has a lot of current hotness now. TMNTs, Star Wars, 1st Red Hulk and more...

Green Lantern 159. I've cobbled together 6 of 23 pages over 10 years and know where 2 other pages live... someday I'll get them all.

I wonder if "cornering the market" could also stall the market or even deflate the market (like if people know OA for a title is all tied up do they move on?)

I cant not stare at the spike nipples.

I forgot where I was and almost posted an as I read thru this thread. My offer stands. Mystery box of Collected editions. No $5 trash. Good Stuff. And enough to make your postal delivery person curse your name as they lug it to your door.

OHCs are Oversized Hardcovers. They're more prevalent with modern titles/comics than with older reprint material. They are the the same dimensions of omnibuses (large than regular premier hardcovers) but usually only contain 11-13 issues (so less than an omnibus, but more than a 6 issue TPB or Marvel Premier Hardcover, which are both also smaller dimensions than Omnibuses or Hardcovers). For example the New Avengers Omnibus has Avengers 500-503, Avengers Finale, New Avengers 1-31, Annual 1; New Avengers Most Wanted Files; New Avengers : Custom 676: Army & Air Force; Giant -Size Spider -Woman 1; New Avengers: Illuminati (2006) 1; Civil War: The Confession 1; Civil War: The Initiative 1 Which content-wise is the same as having the Oversized Hardcovers of: Avengers Dis-Assembled, New Avengers hardcovers Vol 1-3 and Civil War:Avengers. In my scenario you can buy the 5 OHCs for less than the cost of the New Avengers Omnibus. (this isnt true in this case but it was the the simplest HCs aligning to an Omnibus where there are OHCs available). So why buy the Omnibus? Its bigger, bulkier, harder to read, and costs more!

I just don't understand when the marketplace overvalues an Omnibus vs the oversized hardcovers it collects (or maybe it's I dont get when the market undervalues a group of OHCs vs the Omnibus of the same content) Like I'm watching a listing on ebay right now of 3 OHCs (no Im NOT telling you guys which one!) and it's probably going to sell for less than 1/2 of what the omnibus that collects those three OHCs is actively selling for. I like an omnibus as much as the next guy, but I dont get it as the be all end all for my shelf. I'd rather have 3 easier to read oversized hardcovers on my shelf for half the price...

it wouldnt be the CGC secret santa reveal thread without some "whoever this is from thanks" and "that's me!" posts...

more may be available Tuesday (though it might just be the retail edition, which is also sold out at the moment)

oops, double post

The OOP Hawkeye Omnibus is now selling pretty consistently for over $100 thanks to the buzz around the filming of the Disney+ show. This HAS to get a reprint right? Im thinking about selling mine and then buying again when it get's resolicited (or solicited as a new version with the addition of the 3rd volume of Hawkeye (Lemire/Perez) added in to make it bigger $125 style Omnibus).

whew. all of the images that have been uploaded over the years have returned.
