You are welcome to remove people from the edge of their seats at your convenience. I'll still formally be starting at Noon as I have a little prep work to do before then.

@Barth We're a little over 2 hours out. Will you be picking live to kick things off when we start up?

I'm sorry to see this. From what I can see, you expressed interest in taking part in late November and then edited that post on December 14th when you added your prize. Edits will tend to fly under the radar since I won't get any type of notification that they happened. We'll miss you this year and I hope this doesn't discourage you from participating next year. Lesson learned...I'll definitely put a caveat that prizes should be new posts and not edits next year so they don't get missed. Again, I'm sorry that no one caught this.

@smithdaturaYou can pick your bonus lot from the remaining lots whenever you wish. Bonus Lot 1 - Black Panther #513-529; Spider-man: Hobgoblin Lives #1-3; Spider-man: Redemption #1-4 Claimed by @fmaz Bonus Lot 2 - Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty (1998) #1-6; Spider-man Team-Up #1-4; Spider-man: Funeral for an Octopus #1-3 Bonus Lot 3 - Elektra (1996) #1-5, 7; Daredevil (2014) #11-16; Battle Scars #1-6; Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm 1-5 Bonus Lot 4 - A variety of Spider-man titles from a variety of eras Claimed by @Readcomix Bonus Lot 5 - Metal Men 1-4; Metamorpho 1-4; Lobo #1-4; Lobo's Back #1-4 Bonus Lot 6 - A variety of DC books. Invasion, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Superman the Wedding Album, Final Night (Green Lantern), etc.

I'll let you know when it's your turn to pick.

I'm not really sure why I thought otherwise. That makes it easy! Thanks!

@Readcomix You can pick your bonus lot from the remaining lots whenever you wish. Bonus Lot 1 - Black Panther #513-529; Spider-man: Hobgoblin Lives #1-3; Spider-man: Redemption #1-4 Claimed by @fmaz Bonus Lot 2 - Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty (1998) #1-6; Spider-man Team-Up #1-4; Spider-man: Funeral for an Octopus #1-3 Bonus Lot 3 - Elektra (1996) #1-5, 7; Daredevil (2014) #11-16; Battle Scars #1-6; Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm 1-5 Bonus Lot 4 - A variety of Spider-man titles from a variety of eras Bonus Lot 5 - Metal Men 1-4; Metamorpho 1-4; Lobo #1-4; Lobo's Back #1-4 Bonus Lot 6 - A variety of DC books.

For this bonus stuff, we don't have to wait for the thread. Whenever you're ready @fmaz, you can pick one of the bonus lots. Bonus Lot 1 - Black Panther #513-529; Spider-man: Hobgoblin Lives #1-3; Spider-man: Redemption #1-4 Bonus Lot 2 - Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty (1998) #1-6; Spider-man Team-Up #1-4; Spider-man: Funeral for an Octopus #1-3 Bonus Lot 3 - Elektra (1996) #1-5, 7; Daredevil (2014) #11-16; Battle Scars #1-6; Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm 1-5 Bonus Lot 4 - A variety of Spider-man titles from a variety of eras Bonus Lot 5 - Metal Men 1-4; Metamorpho 1-4; Lobo #1-4; Lobo's Back #1-4 Bonus Lot 6 - A variety of DC books.

As I mentioned earlier, a very generous and very anonymous board member sent me a big box of around 200 comics to distribute as I see fit as a way to spread some extra cheer this year. The generosity around here still floors me! One lot of books, the Amazing Spider-man run from 801-839, struck me as a very focused and desirable lot...so I listed it as a possible prize among the other prizes. That can be claimed just like any other lot with shipping on me. I have divided the remaining books into 6 other bonus lots. I'll describe the bulk of the books here, but there will likely be some other random titles thrown in to fill up the box. The lots are as follows: Bonus Lot 1 - Black Panther #513-529; Spider-man: Hobgoblin Lives #1-3; Spider-man: Redemption #1-4 Bonus Lot 2 - Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty (1998) #1-6; Spider-man Team-Up #1-4; Spider-man: Funeral for an Octopus #1-3 Bonus Lot 3 - Elektra (1996) #1-5, 7; Daredevil (2014) #11-16; Battle Scars #1-6; Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm 1-5 Bonus Lot 4 - A variety of Spider-man titles from a variety of eras Bonus Lot 5 - Metal Men 1-4; Metamorpho 1-4; Lobo #1-4; Lobo's Back #1-4 Bonus Lot 6 - A variety of DC books. Invasion, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Superman the Wedding Album, Final Night (Green Lantern), etc. During the 2nd half of the raffle, the elves picked out the names of the bonus recipients. I put these names in order starting with the name who was drawn last and working backward: 1 - @fmaz 2 - @Readcomix 3 - @smithdatura 4 - @comicdonna 5 - @1Cool 6 - @Silver What I'm doing is asking these folks to go down the list in order. So @fmaz gets 1st choice of the 6 bonus lots, @Readcomix will choose 2nd, and so on. I will be shipping these out. In order to make this endeavor not cost too much for me personally, I will be shipping these lots out via media mail. Given the current backlog, this means they could take quite a while to get to their destinations. If the winners wish to upgrade the shipping, they are welcome to do so if they pay the difference. Now there is a small bump in the road because I know at least 1 bonus winner (possibly more) lives outside of the US where media mail won't work and shipping these lots likely wouldn't make much sense. If you're one of the 6 bonus members and you live outside the US, please reach out in this thread and let me know. Here's what I plan to do here: an international bonus winner will not get to pick a prize. Instead, they will get a $25 Amazon gift card (electronic delivery) and they will get to give their spot to anyone else on the Raffle list of their choosing. That person will then go to the bottom of the bonus list. For example, I believe @comicdonna lives outside the US. If this is the case, I'll be sending him a $25 Amazon Gift card for his bonus prize and then he's going to give us a name from the raffle list to add to the bottom of the bonus list. When this happens, @1Cool and @Silver will each move up 1 slot and the new name will be the new #6. Make sense. So let me know which bonus winners are outside the US and we will move on from there.

What a busy few days! Fun, but busy! Alright...a few things to cover: The Raffle will start at noon tomorrow. That is Eastern time. Roughly 15 hours from now. It will all take place in this thread. In the lead-up to the thread, feel free to let us know if you'll be around to pick live or if you'll be relying on your submitted form. I've received 46 submissions for the form prize-picking form. Even if you plan on picking live, I recommend getting a form in. @skypinkblu was kind enough to toss in a bonus of a $25 Amazon Gift Card to the last name drawn, which was @nickwire this year. Thank you for your generosity! Please reach out to one another to get that going. Details about the bonus coming up...

Hey All! I promise I'll sit down and type out the details of the bonus stuff soon. As I'm sure many of you are, I'm keeping pretty busy today but I won't forget about this. Don't forget to get those forms in! The prize selection starts at noon on Saturday!

The video is live, posted on page 1

I'm very sorry to disappoint, but something came up and then we had to get the elves to bed before we could do the drawing...so this will have to happen tomorrow. In the mean time, take a look at the updated list and get your forms in. Thanks!

I need to spend some time to get ready for the drawing so I promise I'll give more updates (including updating the prize list) later tonight.

In other news, a very generous board member who wishes to remain anonymous sent to me a heavy box LOADED with around 200 or so books. I have also added a bundle of Amazing Spider-man books as a possible prize and it's already been added to the list. Just as before, if you already submitted a form and wish to edit your selections for any reason, just submit another one and it will overwrite your first one. The rest of the books will be offered in bundles during the raffle. There will be six bonuses getting assigned to people at some point during the raffle. Details to come... All that to say that it was a very generous donation from someone who just wanted to spread some additional cheer this year and for that, I salute you!

While I generally wish to discourage late entries, mostly for the extra work it causes for the organizers (i.e. me), it's too close to Christmas and I know the elves are watching so I have to be on my best behavior. I suppose my Grinchy heart has grown three sizes this day. You're in @Fan Boy. I have added your prize to the forms and it should be live now. If anyone has already submitted a form and wish to change it based on the new entry, simply submit another one and it will overwrite the first one.

You don't need to complete the form, but it's always a good idea to submit one. It will cover you in the event of an emergency. Something pulls you away from the computer, emergency power outage, etc.

Officially the first form submitted!

I'm going to aim for tomorrow night, but no promises. This is the busy time of year for elves, after all.

Raffle Selection Form The form is now active! I've also put the link at the top of the prize list on the front page for easy access. As others have said, most people get something in their top 10 due to the diverse interests of the people choosing. You don't have to rank all the prizes if you don't want to. I'd say rank your top 15-20 or so to be safe. For those who don't know, when the raffle goes live, people will be given a 5 minute window to make their selection. If they don't make a live selection, we'll consult their list and give them their highest-ranked available prize. If they have no list, they are skipped until they show up again. Getting your list in is very beneficial, so let's get it in! Shout out if you have any problems with the list and I'll do what I can to sort it out.

Got it!

Ok, I've got the list on the first page updated. PLEASE take a minute and double check to make sure your shipping preferences are correct. If you which to place restrictions on where you'll ship, it should say so in the list on the first page. Additionally, if I've missed anyone that made it in before the deadline, please speak up. Thanks everyone! This should be a lot of fun.
