I received a notification today from the last board member standing and his present has been received.

With that being said, I want to thank everyone for a wonderful Holiday season. This community never ceases to amaze me with its friendship and generosity. It has been a fun time interacting with all of you.
Hopefully, if I'm needed for next year, I'll get to do it all over again.

Great job running the event. And if you cannot step in again next year, I'm sure HollyJollyTwo-ElectricBoogaloo is ready to go.

The Nodas knocked it out of the park for me! Especially pumped about the Masterworks and portfolio! 

Thanks so much!

You are most welcome!  Check this out...there's still one more piece that's supposed to be coming sometime in the future.  I had a Jack Kirby commissioned original art work that's supposed to be done whenever the artist could get it done.  I just sent an email to see what the status was.  My wife and I are really happy that you enjoyed your gift so far, this was a lot of fun!

You're very welcome!  The artist got back to me today and said he has two drawings ahead of yours and then he's on it!  I'll probably have him send it directly to ya, so when you do get it can you post a pic of it on up cuz I'm really curious what its gonna look like!

So better late than never, I *FINALLY* got to open up my SS gift this weekend after being away for a couple weeks with family over the holidays and then turning around and heading out for business the week after that.

Needless to say, the wrapping paper was fairly eye-catching...

Once I tore in, I was blown away:

I had asked for Silver/Bronze mainstream hero books and Phil/@MustEatBrains absolutely nailed his choices.  Pics don't really do justice to how nice these books are; the Spidey and DDs look like they're just off the rack.  I'm in the middle of a long effort to complete a DD 1-250 run, and all three of these books happen to be ones I'm missing.  The TTA 64, especially, is awesome - I've always had a soft-spot for "Big Head" Marvel villains, for some reason, and really enjoy the Leader and Modok.    I have two copies of TTA 62 (1st Leader) in okay shape, but this third appearance of his will, like the rest of the books here, stand out as a gem in my assortment of titles from this era.

So a big thanks to Phil for this generous gift - really really appreciated!
