If you were considering listing something here as a donation, go for it, I'm not planning on closing the thread for a while. I know a lot of people were away or busy the past week and didn't have time...and many thanks to ALL of you for the help! If you wish to make a straight donation, you can pm me, David or Crassus for the PP address. Checks are welcome, I have the address.

Jim's PP account is now clear again, so thanks for the help!

You know it was done already, wise guy;)

Wonderful! Thanks...I will send an invoice!

Well,if he's not taking it, I will...if you don't mind sending it to MyComicShop, so they can resell it for Jim. I'll wait till later so see if @nochips answers:) I'm going to have to withdraw my last 2 offers because I can't mail them after today, so this would work nicely:) IF nochips didn't want it:)

Was this a take? Or an error?

OK, finished... So in other updates...I've gathered all the tracking numbers I could from my PMs. I hope PP will accept those, but just in case I've been asking for more ...especially if you made a payment with a credit card or are from another Country, because sometimes you can't pay Personal that way. So if you got a weird PM from me, asking for tracking, that's why. I just don't want Jim's funds held up. They do have a note on his account saying that he would be getting a lot of personal payments, I call to set that up with every "helping" thread we do...but this time it was flagged anyway. I know we have hit $25k, which is wonderful...but if people are willing I will keep this open for a while longer. Because I think I underestimated what he would need to cover expenses (bare bones expenses). Thank you all!

Tonight's update from Jim! Great job everyone...I hope to finish up with my pms within the next hour. After that, if you need to pm me go for it. I found some today that were 4 and 5 days old that I missed, so I need to finish them all. " As of 5 P.M.,12/28, we are tentatively at $25,140.78. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) still wobbly and fatigued, but better. i'm to be released soon to out patient at-home therapy.

I lowered the prices on the Richie Rich/Caspers and the two sketches.

@DavidTheDavid

If you have a tracking number for an item mailed, please post it in your invoice thread. It would be helpful to have some for Paypal. Thank you!

OK, so @DavidTheDavid will be out for at least today, he's on the injured list with a strained back. If you don't get an invoice, just pm me, I'll catch up, but I may be slow. I'll copy him and Jason

I have a Joker sketch that @AndyFish created years ago, it's absolutely wonderful and has been hanging on my wall for years, colors not faded at all! Thanks for the offer, Andy. Sorry for the delay in the invoices, I had company for a few days and was trying to catch up when my computer decided it was tired. I don't type well on phones. Then I went back to sleep this morning, when I didn't plan to;) So @Readcomix thanks for the help, Gene! If you are missing an invoice, just pm me and tell me what item you contributed. I'll send it. @DavidTheDavid has been doing a yeoman's job sending out most of them and copying me. He would be the one to tag if I'm not around. @jaybuck43 is also helping, @crassus has been doing the updates along with Jason... @Hibou has been helping with the flow of the thread...Lots of great helpers for Jim. A special thank you to @Readcomix and those of you donors who sent your own invoices and copied me I have more than 100 pms, I'm going to try to make sure they are all at least read this morning. If you wrote to me specifically (not just saying thanks on an invoice) and had a question or needed me to respond, please bump the pm because the only way I can do this is last pm first. Hugs to you all...just fantastic work everyone... I'm hoping to have a decent cushion for Jim because if he is on Social Security Disability Insurance, he says he won't be able to continue his "business" I'm hoping he recovers enough so that he doesn't need to collect Disability but we won't know that for months.

Jim's update! Sorry it's late, I was having a little trouble getting my pc to work before. "As of 5 P.M.,12/27, we are tentatively at $23,348.55. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Each day I regain a little energy, and now I have to be careful about over confidence. If I move at all quickly,I start to wobble and lose my balance. I'm used to making strides. This inch at a time stuff is frustrating. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)"

Just a reminder, if you buy a book someone is "donating" you are still making a donation as far as PP is concerned. This has nothing to do with tax deductions, they allow you to send the money as personal. Paypal is holding funds because Jim is not sending tracking numbers for the "purchases.

I'll take these for $20 shipped, many thanks...for the donation

Thanks @Readcomix Gene and thanks Jay...I just remember he was young, nice looking with dark hair...definitely could not pick him out of a line up, but one of us remembered the other person the following year, that's why I have 2 pieces. I THINK his name was Paul and I THINK he worked on one of the 80 million Spidey books. 2001 was the first time I went to Chicago and the first time I saw an Artist Alley, I was so enthralled, I kept wandering around. The next year, San Diego was a complete zoo, with so much stuff going on, I just remember the people I went to meet, they were all eBay board people.

We have a whole bunch of incredible people on here, I keep witnessing more every day. Thank you all...

Tonight's update, courtesy of Jim himself! " As of 5 P.M.,12/26, we are tentatively at $20,322.28. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)" I also asked how he was feeling and here is that update:) "better a little, but still dysfunctional. the therapy makes me optimistic. god bless ...."

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! We will have another helper, tomorrow... @jaybuck43 offered the first day, he's finally off for a few days. Thanks, Jason!

Here is Jim's recap for the night! "As of 5 P.M.,12/25, we are tentatively at $19,706.26. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)" That number is a fantastic start! I hope we are on our way to $25k... Great job everyone!

Done, if I've missed anyone else, PLMK! Also, it's fine to send an invoice and just copy me ...

I'm not far from the spot where Mass, Vermont and NY meet, so it depends on WHERE in Massachusetts;)

How early? I have a box in my guest room, this set of guests leave Wednesday morning;)

Thank you...I was looking on the spreadsheet for the book, you guys were so fast it was sold before anyone could list it!
