Official 2019 Green Eggs Grading Contest Prize Thread 10 10

[Point Five]

OK troops, here's my prize donation:

Ghostly Weird Stories #121, tough 1950s horror book with a great LB Cole cover. Low grade but presents really well for the grade. Cover wrap was split and reattached with archival tape; edges of both covers are chippy/brittle but interior pages are offwhite & supple. Call it 1.0/1.5, or a sweet 5.5 if you can get Andy to submit it. Shipped anywhere on me!

Would be awesome if we had enough prizes donated that all participants "won" something. I'm going to throw out an idea that everyone will probably hate. What about a higher end "door prize"? Drawn randomly among all who participated in every round. Not talking about one of top $$$ prizes, but still something substantial. Might give additional incentive to those at the bottom tier to continue to play thru until the bitter end.

Many of the contests, in the past, have had more prizes than participants.

Wow. Lots of generous people here. Regret this is my first (and sounds like) last Green Egg contest.

Actually, that is a great idea. The past few years, I have offered a prize to someone who has completed all 10 rounds, but did not win a prize. So if it OK with Andy and Shim, my Mystery box #3 will go to someone randomly selected by Andy's elves in the bottom half who completed all of the rounds. @thirdgreenham

Green Eggs  

– Green Eggs And Ham - by Dr. Seuss

… Sam!
If you will let me be,
I will try them.
You will see.

Say!
I like green eggs and ham!
I do! I like them, Sam-I-am!
And I would eat them in a boat!
And I would eat them with a goat...
And I will eat them in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so goodm so goodm you see!

So I will eat them in a box.
And I will eat them with a fox.
And I will eat them in a house.
And I will eat them with a mouse.
And I will eat them here and there.
Say! I will eat them anywhere!

I do so like
Green eggs and ham!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Sam-I-am

No real value here unless you are a big J O'Barr fan like me. You can only give what you got. And, as always, I suck because it's US shipping only.

Here's my prize to offer:

8 - DC 100 Pagers, including all the JLA ones. A virtual Omnibus! Conditions range from VG to Fine -, maybe VF on one. Nice reader set. I bought most of these at Comic book shows back in the late 70's, early 80's when my early teen self wasn't as concerned with the "grade". Have since upgraded.

Absolutely love those covers! I doubt I'll be very high up in the rankings come RD#10, but if so I may have to purposely submit a pair of -1's so I can get those.
