2016 March Madness Comic Grading Tournament---PRIZE THREAD---

[thirdgreenham]

This here will be the Official prize thread for BlowUpTheMoon's " 2016 March Madness Comic Grading Tournament ."

 

Let's get some nice prizes donated, folks.

 

This contest is a heck of a lot of fun and enjoyed by over 100 boardies every year.

 

The prizes don't just magically appear, so we need people to step up and show a bit of generosity.

 

For the folks that do donate, you are also responsible for covering the shipping costs. Some people will say "shipping is on me, worldwide" and others will say "shipped for free within the US." Others may offer to pay a portion of the international shipping. If you do not stipulate any shipping restrictions, it will be understood that you'll cover the shipping to anywhere.

 

I'm going to donate a few things, for sure. Hopefully, I'll have them decided, pictured, uploaded, and posted at some point tomorrow.

 

Thanks in advance, guys and girls, and thanks to Blowie for running the show!!

Wow, I thought it was a cute little toy and thought I'd get it for a boy my wife is a Nanny for. Then I saw the price. I think I'll let his parents pick that up for him.

 

Very nice prize.
