Had to unwrap it 

First,  Christmas KUDOS to @comicginger1789 for sending the box wrapped.  It was a fun surprise to see that package arrive. 🎅🎁

Still can’t believe it survived completely unscathed. Surely some kind of Adamantium coating on that stuff.

My ‘specifications’ were simply “It’s Christmas. Keep it a mystery”.  I’m enjoying the mystery.  Box remains sealed....for now 

Thanks Eric 

 

And let’s make your challenge open to everyone, but just for some festive fun

 

That's from his Marvel Team-Up appearance in #37. Sal Buscema and Vince Colletta at their finest!

@WernerVonDoom absolutely crushed it.  Everything is right up my alley.  My favorite gift is the Crypt Keeper candelabra.  Definitely getting displayed in a place of prominence when I set my comic room up.  Thank you again so very much!

I’ve never read a golden age war book before, so I’m gonna dive into that one.

Just read the cover story.  Glad that I did.   Thanks for introducing me to 50s War books @comicginger1789

Ron C was my secret Santa this year, and boy did he kick azz . I'm a magazine horror nut,  so Ron obliged this weary old man. Thank you so much Ron, its a wonderful gift. 

I was actually looking for a Vampirella #14 in higher grade, and you sure made that one easy for me. Bless you.

Horror magazines were a bit out of my comfort/knowledge zone so I was able to enlist a few wonderful boardies to help with my quest.

I absolutely love seeing all the gift reveals.
If you haven't already, please post your gifts and give your Secret Santa (and yourself) a little pat-on-the-back for helping to keep the Gift Exchange a great CGC Chat Board tradition.

Opened my gift a little bit ago.  @Dr. Balls sent the complete run of King Conan 1 -19 (before the changed it to Conan the King).  I had a couple of these issues, but, now I have all of them.  And the ones I did have are definite upgrades.

[WernerVonDoom]

Got this awesome stack of books from @WEBHEAD !!!!  A lot of these take me back to right when I started collecting. Thank you so much!

P.S. Everyone loved your wrapping paper.

@Comics4All Thank you so much for  these sweet gifts! This haul is the perfect addition to my growing collection. These figures are going to look awesome in my office. And I am quite stoked in particular to finally get a chance to read all star superman!

Partaking in this secret Santa event has been such a fun experience from start to finish. It has gotten me to transition from being a lurker into a more active member. Getting to see what everyone has been gifting each other is an absolute blast. Thank you @HollyJollyOne for organizing all of this!

A huge thanks to @ashsaytrwho went above and beyond with the gifts he sent.

First over 1,000 pages of Sheena and Forbidden Worlds comics. This should keep me occupied until spring arrives.  I had seen Gwandanaland Comics before when researching comic books in the Grand comics database, but never actually knew what they were. Best of all they used the original art from comics when creating their reprints and not the digitally remastered ones. If that wasn't enough he also included a copy of the PS Artbooks Space Action, which also offers high quality reprints.

 

I'm glad you like!  hopefully hours of reading entertainment this winter! Happy Holidays!

Thanks to @oakman29 for this cool assortment of goodies! Some nice signed books, couple horror mags (awesome covers!) and some nice collected editions! Being a big Spidey guy, I have never actually read Spider-Gwen's story 😳despite having her first appearance in CGC 9.8 so this was all a very nice surprise! Thanks Oak!
