  1. With the 13th pick, spidermanbeyond picks: Prize 72: Demon #1 (8.0/8.5) and Spawn #301 Virgin Variant (9.4) - donated by comicquant
  2. I will be picking live. Easier to decide if many choices are removed and more fun.
  3. Merry Christmas everyone. Waiting for the order of draw list. No use making a wish list if I am last.
  4. Thank you @Bluemedgroup (Alain) for the cool comics. I thought the giant Snickers bar was just stuffing for the package until I realized it is for real. It is huge. Going to have to share this one.
  5. Christmas Raffle Prize Donation: Miscellaneous Christmas box includes Marvel Comics Pure Hero VENOM Spider-Man Dry Fit Crew Shirt (Choice of S, M, or L -winner to specify size, Retail $25), The Mighty Avengers Venom Bomb Trade Paperback (Retail $14.99), 4 - 7 Eleven Exclusive Deadpool 2 Slurpee Plastic Cups (Retail $10), 1 dozen modern comics: 2 copies of Action Comics #1000, 2 different variant covers, Retail $7.99 each, 10 - Modern Marvel/DC/Independent comics, cover price $3.99 each, Retail $39.99). Shipping only within US.
  6. Quick answer is No. The 1st time it would have been worth the $12 to press. Not now. Think about it. It costs $18/$20 to regrade plus $12 pressing plus say $25 to ship it back and forth (this is conservative in shipping cost). Pressing will improve your comic by 0.5 to 1.0. 6.0 and 6.5 are worth about the same $120, 7.0 is worth $140. Even best case scenario, the book improve 1.5 to 7.5 is only worth $160. Save your money and buy a higher grade already pre-slabbed and sell this one.
  7. Good to see people still hanging in there. You have endured now claim your prize.
  8. We have to check if there is a list or not. Otherwise, we have wait. In the past, picking ends up at stand still until then.
  9. Actually, it was officially 1 pm Pacific time today but so many posts people might have missed it/
  10. There is definitely a lot of skill involved. And, of course, there is a lot of luck as well. Some people like Toro are consistently in the top 5.
  11. Congratulations, @KryptoMayor and also @Ron_C. Ron used to be down with the lower half of the pack. What incredible improvement! There is definitely a learning curve to this game. All those years of tolling and heartache paid off. Thanks to everyone for a great contest.
  12. As I recall, on tiebreaks with same # of bullseyes, earliest round with the bullseyes wins. I could be wrong.
  13. I updated my prize list on Page 11. Made change to Prize A to choice of size of T-Shirt L, M, or S vs only L. Also added one more prize. Thanks to you both thirdgreenham and sckao for running this awesome contest for so many years. Been a great ride.
  14. You are probably not the only who trying to put a 9.8 run together. I used to think I will put a ASM Spidey McFarlane 298-328 CGC 9.8 run and X-Men 94-143 CGC 9.8 run together then I realize it would be too expensive and hard. No one wants 9.4 and 9.6 ruining their run so that is why your 9.8's are so high. I thought a Godzilla 9.8 run might be doable but realize it would not be easy or cheap.
