checked my tracking and it shows as delivered yesterday. I hope it made it to the right person and that they weren't too sad about getting it one day too late

It's fun how great these two picks are, even though you picked at the bottom

that was in my top 3! You guys are nuts for letting it go unpicked but thanks!

prize #27 Terrors of the Jungle #10 (L.B. Cole cover 1954, the cover is detached and split, pages are cream) and Web of Mystery #10 (1952 PreCode Horror: it's about a 1.8, there is a cover tear. Both books are complete) - donated by skypinkblu

Ok gimme a sec!

Sorry, I didn't scroll down far enough in that post when I looked. I'm JUST EXCITED OK?!

Is there anywhere that the prizes taken so far are being marked?

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

Picking starts at noon eastern tomorrow ?

I'd think having the boxes, and in such nice shape, would go a long way toward increasing value for all this stuff. really cool that you hung on to all of it.

Yep great stuff so far and thanks for doing it! I’m pretty excited to have snagged some EC goodness

naw. I read what the author wrote. "Rose was introduced in “The Last Jedi” and became a point of contention for some toxic “Star Wars” fans." Not just implying that contention with the character is due solely to fan toxicity, but outright declaring it. Reasoned, logical criticism of the character and her plot line isn't allowed. If you disagree, then you are being toxic. it's a popular logical fallacy. I'm aware of what happened to the actor on social media, and don't condone that behavior at all. I didn't like her character in The Last Jedi, but still found it pretty ridiculous to have sidelined her to the extent Abrams did in Rise. What a mess.

I left the theater disappointed. It had some very cool moments, and I think handled a couple of highly emotional beats very well, but for me it was the worst of the sequel trilogy. Character arcs went nowhere, the plot was incredibly contrived and repetitive, too much of the dialogue was just bad; where was the romance? Where was tension? I don't see any point in typing out a long rant, most of the main points for and against have been made, but I just felt sad when it was over. Sad that this story has ended, and sad that it just seemed like a massive missed (and therefore lost) opportunity. The sequel trilogy has a bunch of great stuff in it and some memorable moments, but as a story it isn't even up to the same level as the prequel trilogy. At least there was a coherent tale that ended with, IMO, one of the better films in the franchise with ROTS. What real purpose did characters like Finn and Poe (and Rose, and Snap, and on and on) ever really serve? Just feels empty after almost eight hours. I had fun at all three movies, I still love Star Wars, and I look forward to the franchise continuing on. And I'm glad that those who loved this one did so. I just left feeling that it was a bad film, from a critical viewpoint, and that isn't really excusable for an entity like Disney to have managed.
