Big thanks to @Bird for my raffle prize!

besides the ingenuity of the packaging, I have some killer reading ahead of me. I was worried with a late pick I wasn’t going to get something I would like, but I was very wrong.

A most generous package indeed! *Insertmichaelscottgraphichere

Thank you @aszumilo my raffle prize arrived today safe and sound.

I don't know if aszumilo has sales threads going currently running on the boards, but if he does buy from him.   You will find a package that would come to you that even Harry Houdini would have to work at to access.  Every time I thought I was though one layer of protection a new one appeared.  I could have jumped up and down on it and the slab would not have been damaged.

Thank You again!

Glad it arrived safe and sound.  When you pack a slab, you have to anticipate what the delivery agencies can do to it.  I've received many packages that barely had any protection and I will never send a package , especially a slab, that isn't well protected.

And, no, I do not currently have a sales thread.  Someday, I keep saying to myself, someday....

You really never know what they will do to the package....

I pack pretty well, but I will need to take lessons from this as a few of my books that went to C-Link arrived with cracked cases.  :tonofbricks:

Finally got to my mystery box package from Robert / @fastballspecial and I was blown away! He had asked for my collecting interests and I had mentioned I was mostly into Silver/Bronze but really liked anything with good art and stories, and mentioned some of the modern titles I had picked up recently, including Saga.  He promised a cool mix of surprises, and he delivered!

There was a diverse assortment of recent titles, including a couple of awesome classic reprints like FF 51. I love that Bullseye 1 and the Eternals by Gaiman and Romita is great:

Then we had some Bronze/Copper issues, including Jim Lee's first work at Marvel (Alpha Flight 51), a sweet MCP Wolvie cover, and a classic Hulk-Doc Samson tale:

Next was an awesome variant cover first issue of Department of Truth, a USPS First Day Issue DC superhero stamp set, and the fun "Stan Lee Meets" HC:

And last but not least... the crown jewel of the package for me - a signed promotional first printing of Fiona Staples Digest 1!!! This  has some beautiful work in it and is definitely an amazing addition to my collection.

I never expected to get such an awesome prize, let alone at pick No. 32, but Robert really went out of his way to make this special. Thanks to him and congrats to everyone on issuing such awesome raffle prizes this year!

So below Brian’s @CAMPER49 thoughtful card and note explaining the prize items, I found in addition to the originally announced Spidey Marvel Masterworks the 50th anniversary guide (which made me REALLY happy as I love to read it each year and totally missed out due to daily life tenor during the pandemic), a Justice League run I had skimmed in floppies, liked, but never acquired; a Wolverine and Elektra book I’ve never seen before, a pair of Marvel Zombies HC’s and a usb stick chock full of keys that one may not be inclined to handle originals of in order to read! Thank you SO much Brian! It had to cost a fortune just to ship all those hefty hardcovers from Canada to the U.S. (worship)
