I received my awesome prize today from @CHASEnBLUE.  I hope to get pics later of some of the extras that I received.  It is 3 boxes of which any 1 of them could have been a prize on its own.

Thanks again!

I shipped my mystery box yesterday.  It was quite fun to build the mystery box.  There is a theme to it.

Sorry...I have to hack the mainframe to decipher @oldmilwaukee6er's list.  He skipped some numbers and duplicated others.  There's no 2,8,9...but then there's 3x 33's.  I'm working on it. 

He must really want #33.

I don't know if this helps any, but I am keeping track of the selections made and what is left.

Below are the picks chosen up to fastballspecial at pick 18.

Form submitted. I TRIED to only rank up to my pick (#44), but leaving a task partially finished like that makes my brain itch... so I ranked to the end.

I ranked the entire list and submitted before the elves drew names.  That is how I knew there was a prize missing originally.  I overthink everything!   

#3 is the place to be!

I am stoked about the pick and plan to draft live, but I did submit my form just in case.  Oh, and "Louque" is pronounced "Luke".

Toro isn't in the list, though I know he posted his contribution being ASM #318 Newsstand CGC 9.4 on page 11 of this thread.

I think that is a total of 60 participants this year.  So my odds of getting 1st pick are 1:60.

I, for one, am excited to participate this year.

My contribution this year will be a mystery box including comics valued at $50.

I could do international shipping if the recipient agrees to pay anything over $20 of the shipping cost.

I just realized how much international shipping is.  I would like to do domestic shipping only for my gift as the shipping could be more expensive than I can handle otherwise.

Okay, no takers it seems.  This sale is now closed.

These are the remaining books I have that were listed in this past weekend's VCC sale.

I'm in!

None of the comic conventions I have attended in the past 4-5 years have had CGC booths, just vendors who are CGC authorized dealers.  Those dealers always charge a fee for accepting the books even if the submission is done online and you bring the packing slip(s) with the books. 

Question 1:  Is it normal for vendors to charge $5/book when dropping off comics to be graded by CGC?

Question 2:  Does CGC attend the larger conventions these days?

I started submitting books to CGC several years ago via drop-off at what used to be Wizard World New Orleans.  There was no extra fee to drop them off, so it was cheaper than shipping them.  However, waiting in line for 20 minutes, to pay $5/book to have someone who I don't  know and is not a CGC employee accept my books with the hope of them not damaging the books and actually doing what they are being paid to do make me uneasy.  I feel more comfortable just shipping the books to CGC and saving some time and money in the process.

Question 3:  Does the new Express Drop-Off service change this any?

Question 4:  Does CGC intend to have booths at Comicpalooza in Houston and FAN EXPO New Orleans in the future?

Did you find any CGC facilitators attending the New Orleans Fan Expo this weekend?

Captured Collectibles (Booth 527) will be there and their site indicates they are CGC facilitators.  I have never heard of them before, but I don't see a dedicated CGC booth in the directory.

Oh well, I will try to participate next year.  I hope everyone had a great holiday.

Did I miss out.  I haven't read all the posts yet, but I see my name came up and there was a form that I was supposed to submit?
