You don't need to complete the form, but it's always a good idea to submit one.  It will cover you in the event of an emergency.  Something pulls you away from the computer, emergency power outage, etc.

I will get one completed tonight while I am doing server maintenance, will be up til 3-4am anyways.  Might as well.

Hey, I’ve been wanting to post, and appreciate the push!!! I hope you and the family are well. Ok... 

Here is cool 19 book lot, with the “star”being a beater Strange Tales 25. No back cover, and cover barely hanging on, but awesome art work is fully present  Also included are 4 Archies, 5  Charlton War covers, 4 Gold keys, (Avg. grade of these 13 books is g/vg) and 5 lower grade books. Archie Pals and Gals is a cool Christmas cover too! 

 

 

 

 

For the longest time I never understood why the title was "The Long Sleep." I mean....they're waking up. They're not sleeping. Yes, they look a little grouchy but they are definitely not sleeping.

I was looking back at past raffles and there's stuff that has a lot of current hotness now. TMNTs, Star Wars, 1st Red Hulk and more...

Form submitted with my top 20 picks! I should be able to pick live, though.

I'm going to aim for tomorrow night, but no promises.  This is the busy time of year for elves, after all.

Form submitted - Ranked 'em all, 1-80... because to do otherwise would make my brain itch.  I know, I know... I have "a condition."

Going through them to familiarize with a ranking also helps with switching the numbers at the last minute, when picking live

Saved my keister several times I don't mind saying, when all is drool worthy you need a reference point to sum it up

Off the top of my head I think the book that probably went up most in value I have given was a Conan 1. Not sure what the hell I was thinking.

2. DESPITE rule #1, almost everyone ends up with something they'd ranked in their top 5-6 picks.  Regardless of where you end up picking, because everyone's interests are so diverse, that item you think is so clearly the 3rd best prize will "AMAZINGLY" still be there when you pick 39th.  Happens ALL. THE. TIME.

 

I can definitely attest to this one. Last year I think I was third from the bottom on the list, and ended up with like, my #1 and #4 choices or something like that. Granted, I ranked my form knowing I was going to be at the bottom, but still, hehe.

While I generally wish to discourage late entries, mostly for the extra work it causes for the organizers (i.e. me), it's too close to Christmas and I know the elves are watching so I have to be on my best behavior.  I suppose my Grinchy heart has grown three sizes this day.  You're in @Fan Boy. 

I have added your prize to the forms and it should be live now.  If anyone has already submitted a form and wish to change it based on the new entry, simply submit another one and it will overwrite the first one.

In other news, a very generous board member who wishes to remain anonymous sent to me a heavy box LOADED with around 200 or so books.  I have also added a bundle of Amazing Spider-man books as a possible prize and it's already been added to the list.  Just as before, if you already submitted a form and wish to edit your selections for any reason, just submit another one and it will overwrite your first one. 

The rest of the books will be offered in bundles during the raffle.  There will be six bonuses getting assigned to people at some point during the raffle.  Details to come...

All that to say that it was a very generous donation from someone who just wanted to spread some additional cheer this year and for that, I salute you!

I need to spend some time to get ready for the drawing so I promise I'll give more updates (including updating the prize list) later tonight. 

[speedcake]

[The Sledder]

I'm very sorry to disappoint, but something came up and then we had to get the elves to bed before we could do the drawing...so this will have to happen tomorrow. 

In the mean time, take a look at the updated list and get your forms in.  Thanks!
