CAHokie Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I still think the elves picked Harvey Swick # 1 one year because they liked his name. He deserved it though. The Sledder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year when I was maybe third from the bottom, I was still slightly embarassed by all the cool stuff I got. I try to give good items, but I'm thinking I need to raise my bar.

Popular Post Kramerica Posted December 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Kramerica's Happy Festivus Gift: Moon Knight #21 & 25 Both CGC 9.6 with White Pages. A Festivus Miracle! I want to be all inclusive but shipping 2 slabs overseas might be prohibitive. Can I say winner splits with me if overseas?

Popular Post Readcomix Posted December 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2023 Ok, it’s a Semi-Mystery Box, mostly because I don’t know everything that is going to fill it, but it’s going to be about the size of a USPS Medium Priority Box, it will include those pictured and others that loosely follow this theme of oddities: A Mark Jeweler’s insert book, some DCU logo upc box books, a Canadian Price Variant, some Christmas-themed books including a 1st/only HRN of Classics Illustrated A Christmas Carol, and some signed books including one of Joe Sinnott’s personal file copies of his Archie work. And whatever else I think is cool. There’s at least one more Golden Age book in the stack, a bronze #1, a classic Perez cover, an underground key, and on and on… Namtak, Azkaban, KirbyJack and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
