Well, I just got in 55 books from Peter (and CGC), so I think I can find something too.Alex

As promised Dave, I'm contributing to the cause. I would like proceeds to go to the CBLDF -- is this ok?

 

CBLDF is great! 893applaud-thumb.gif This just in from Kev:

 

I see someone wants to donate to the CBLDF - we have the Canadian branch set up and overseeing a quick sketch competition and selling some signed hardcovers - the Canadian branch hasn't had to intervene on a single case here in Canada yet so I will have to make sure that any money collected is sent to the US office to help cases like Jesus Carillo. So if people want to specifically donate their books to the CBLDF they can also do that

Hello everyone, this is great! Thanks for the support! As Kevin stated CBLDF will have a presence so donations to them are fine.

 

Comic Wiz has also volunteered to post the donations a few days before the show to give everybody a chance to bid via silent auction. We will work out the details on this in the near future.

 

Thanks
