'Tis the season to be jolly, tra-la-la-la-lah, la-la-la-la! Here's the place to show your haul-y, tra-la-la-la-lah, la-la-la-la! Donning of gay apparel isn't necessary, but that's entirely up to you.

This thread is for golden age comics, reprints (controversial public domain fill-in copy subs when true GA is unobtainable), pulps, art, comic and pulp related toys, premiums, lobby cards, etc., ...basically anything nostalgic acquired over the past year (as of Jan. 1, 2021 through Dec. 31).  Whether you had a great year or modest one, this is your chance to crow about it.

There'll be another thread or two for aspirational goals for 2022, book recommendations on comics and film related collectibles, personal achievements for the past year, investing, divesting and refocused interest, etc., but this thread is purely about the advancement of your collection.

I'll add my acquisitions as the thread progresses, but the ball is entirely in your court now.  Have at it!  :manhero:

I always enjoy this thread...I didn't actually buy much this year, mostly due to the inflated prices though ...  so I'll have to toss in some non-comic related collectibles...which I don't honestly dabble in much, but for me they're the prizes of the year.

Been watching these auctions for garfield originals and have resisted so far. This one is one I would have taken. Nice buy! Classic!

Thanks! I grew up on Garfield as did my wife and despite how old the character is my 7 year old has become a big fan too, so it was great to land one of the first year Sundays during one of the relatively unnoticed Thursday night auctions.

That's awesome. And I love that it's one of the early strips! He was drawn a bit slicker from the 80s onward.
