Looked like an interesting pinup, is it from inside a GA Archie book or later era? And would you know which Archie book? EDIT: This has been confirmed to be an altered pinup, please ignore

This aint wrong. Boomers are only between 59 and 77. So up to 30 years left to live for those which get to 90. Healthcare technology will get better but also more expensive and if they want to keep living, they'll keep spending, drying up those coffers. Also, and this is just a personal thing, but I don't intend to leave any money for my kids, maybe I'm not the only one to think that way. I'll support them so that they can thrive in their career path but I do wish for them to be self sufficient. And plus, they'll inherit my comics and what I collect is the least likely stuff to be worthless later (superhero GA, early Marvel SA). Big doubt on that when they can finally buy the bitcoin they've always wanted instead.

Here's a fun one

If you look at amount of comics (units), that may be so, but market (and market share) is measured in dollars. Since all high priced books are CGC'd now when sold through auction houses, they tip the scales unevenly leaving us with the fact that the majority of money in the collectible comic market is spent on CGC comics.

It's not talked about as much but another thing that was exploited was CGC's own awareness of their incompetence. If they didn't make the ton of errors they routinely do on slabs, like not labeling a Mark Jeweler variant, then a request for a reholder due to a gaff on their part would have been scrutinized more.

Plus there are these gems

These 2 came to mind instantly. Reason I know them is because I'm a Batman fan and those (along with my Batman B&W tpb) was all I had in my collection for Joe Kubert to sign when I met him.

That's the beauty of this raffle.

That's what I am assuming too

I'll take it. And thanks for this man!

Was I in their top 10?

There will be more choices, that's why you get 2 prizes

Coffee crisp is not part of my lot, so no worries there.

Mine is still available. But you know how those chocolate bars already taste like.

Yeah, that's the post I had read so I thought the sketch was gone. Either way worked out for me. Once again, thank you all for participating in this and thank you Sledder for organizing it

I love OA, your prizes were on my list. If I could take them all, I would. Very grateful it's all there

Lot 42 Brenman sketch, I thought it was taken

Wait, is this what's left? If so then I had misread a comment and made a mistake. Can I switch my choice or would I be an ahole?

Ok going for 13 Bruce tim sketch

Let me know about lots 14 13 23 29 38 43 51 54

Ok, so how do I see what's leftover?

Ha! Sounds like my first drafts when I put codes for what I preferred.
