BTW, in the event we do have any resultant ties on the leaderboard, tie breaker will be a grading contest using one of the blue labels from my personal collection.  I don't believe I have many books listed in the registry anymore, but I will certainly make sure of that when choosing the book!

I am not exactly flush myself but can you message me on the right way to go about this. I’d love to do something similar. I have books I can put out for my cause but it seems you have a real handle on things. Might wait to do mine next year as I don’t want to rush it but super cause my friend. 
 

Congratulations . 

I'll message you after the thread closes, there's always a few lessons learned as the thread goes on that I carry over into the next year.

Well at the moment, @SkOw is on top at $202, while @Comcav & @jbpez are tied at $200 each.

My suggestion would be just add another 0 to your current pledge total, @SkOw seems pretty committed this year 

Our current overall total is palendromic (spell check says that isn't a word, but I say nuts to that!) - $1221

Count me in for an extra $3 so I can stick to @skow!  And mad puppy love, of course ;)

ok, I'm in for $200 thanks to the @jbpez mini special thread.  So what else do I need to do to beat up on @SkOw ?

Looks like you are better at comics than math!

This is REALLY going to throw off GPA on the sale price of an ASM 33 2.0

Alright folks, we're about 12 hours away from quittin' time, and our current total stands at $1445.

@SkOw continues his march toward victory at $271

@BuscemasAvengers is in a strong second at $252

And the takebot @Comcav had his effort to Price is Right SkOw fall short but still sits at $203.

We're less than a hundred bucks from last year's $1522 total.  Anyone out there who has been looking but might still be on the fence, even a few bucks will put us that much closer to exceeding last year.

And in the spirit of the comics as bids, one first appearance of Loki would put us over...

Seems cheap.Ill raise you a spider-man 300.

$1745!

I'm adding a second book to the awards pool 

[mattn792]

Well, we have a new leader...

@TheShadowKnows has come in hot and topped our previous symbiote bid with $300

@SkOw is holding steady at a first comic appearance of Rocket ($271)

@BuscemasAvengers has a few other symbiote options at his disposal should he choose to increase from $252

@Comcav is holding steady at $203.  Could it be that the takebot can be defeated?!  

[mattn792]

One last bump for the final hour.

Can we make it to $2 grand?
