I can see Amazing Mystery Funnies as being a good candidate to win it all.

 

The question, is, which one?

Nice books all around and I can see recaps coming as folks lobby their prospective candidates nearer the polling date.

 

If you're asking for an unbiased opinion (rather than a facetious rhetorical one) about which to choose, I'd suggest selecting books that haven't been posted already by other hopefuls. All the books are winners IMO, but it's kinda like the Oscars, two Best Actor nominations from the same movie cancel each other out.[/font]

When is the deadline for posting?

Deadlines need to worry about kings, not the other way round.

First page recap...

 

It's coming up to year's end once again - how do they go so fast? So Straw-man and I would like to resurrect the Funny book of the year idea. Sooo...

 

Reflecting on the current year, which three books you've acquired would you consider to be your books of the year?

 

This doesn't necessarily have to be about grade - it could be a $20 book in fair that you've searched for for 10 years.

 

Doesn't matter if you don't think you've got a snowflake's chance of winning! This is about inclusion! It's Christmas! So we want a lively, active thread in which everyone participates!

 

 

There will be three rounds to complete with the winning book announced on New Year's Day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

FIRST ROUND

 

The first stage is to invite you to submit up to three books you've acquired this year.

 

Submissions allowed until Midnight Christmas Eve (midnight wherever you are).

 

At least two of your books should be golden age.

 

Any restoration should be noted.

 

They should all be books you still own.

 

To avoid confusion, you cant change your submissions once made.

 

 

 

 

SECOND ROUND

 

Voting to begin on Christmas Day.

 

Any boardie who submits can propose up to three books for the short list. Each book proposed gets one mark for each time proposed. Cant propose own books!

 

When you vote state the title, issue, grade and owner! (There could be more than one copy of a given book, so this will really help us keep the story straight.)

 

I suggest the short list is comprised of - shall we say this time? - the 20 books with the most votes plus ties.

 

Voting for short list ends Midnight 30th December.

 

You cant propose unless you submit, so if you want to vote, submit!

 

Everyone can propose, even if you don't submit.

 

 

 

 

 

SHORTLIST

 

20 book shortlist announced New Year's Eve.

 

Each boardie who submitted can then vote for three books - first, second and third choices.

 

Every first choice gets three marks, second choices get 2 marks, third choices 1 mark.

 

Voting ends at midnight New Year's Night (midnight wherever you are).

 

Three books with the most votes announced on New Year's Day at which point a no-prize will be awarded to universal acclaim to the proud owner of the book of the year.

 

Final pointers

 

Vote for what you like! Dont vote for a given book just because everyone else is.

 

Vote for the book, not the owner.

 

 

 

 

 

Billy and I will do our best to resolve any conundrums.

 

 

Does that seem like a workable format?

 

Followed by this (shameless segue)...

 

 

Yes, the format sounds workable. Do you want scans of submitted books posted in this thread or what?

 

 

 

Yep, let's get started Cat!

 

 

Okey-dokes, here goes...

 

My upgrade...

 

 

My Larson copy...

 

 

My first Golden Age DC...

 

 

 

I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. (thumbs u

Also, folks who've already posted scans are allowed one substitution right up 'til the deadline as long as we're made aware of it.
