Just to cosign the USPS shipping situation...while my santa gift made it on time, I presently have 4 items I sold on ebay that were shipped priority on 12/3 that are stuck in various shipping hubs in NJ...meaning they haven't even left the state I live in. It's the worst its been in a while

@starlord I am nervous every year when waiting to get the info of who you're buying for. You always have to try to understand someone's taste in a genre outside of your wheelhouse. They sent me your name and that you collect Wrightson, I'm like...I've got this. lol

It took me a while to find a worthy copy of House of Secrets 94. That's my favorite Wrightson cover, so I wanted to include a copy in my gift. I'm glad you enjoyed the books.

Happy holidays, everyone! Please stay safe and enjoy your time off (if you get any).

@Paulbg2000 Wow, you gave me back so many memories of my late grandfather buying me comics at the neighbourhood convenience store. That House of Mystery 281 is such a memorable cover. So much great horror. I can't believe you found an issue of Kobra! Thank you so much.

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the books and it brought back some good memories for you! They had a few other issues of Kobra also, but wasn't sure what you had...so I went with the 1st appearance.

Happy Holidays!

Thanks to my secret santa @kydu! I didn't have any of the books and looking forward to reading the Fantastic Four books. Also, nice pick with the Spider-Man green goblin! Another great book! Thank you, very much appreciated.

I now also have another T-Shirt to go with my Cow one from last year!

Cheers!

If only USPS hadn’t seemingly driven a truck over the box



Looks like the virgin cover took the worst of it

This came in the mail this week. Not my exchange, but a nice present from @flanders thanking me for organizing the gift exchange this year.

I can always use another Catwoman #1. And the sketch is great! I wondered for a second if the cats were supposed to look like they'd escaped from the Simpsons. Then I remembered flanders' avatar. And I knew.

@Gomez311 still a really nice gift. You did good. I’m sure we can finagle a press for that book and get it flattened out.

A big thank you to @starlord for the gifts! I have virtually everything Ka-Zar has appeared in, except for the Savage Tales magazines!

Also, I'm not a big fan of comic related toys, but I've always wanted a Moon Knight figure for my display! Very nice, sir, and thanks so much! You hit the nail on the head in all regards.

@flanders Thank you and I hope at least these are books you don’t already have. Merry Christmas.

@Gomez311 No problem! Most of the books just have a general bend throughout that should be fixed by a few weeks under a few fat omnibuses.

The Virgin cover is mostly fixable. For a dark cover it got by with relatively few color breaks

Great gift, @Enelson - I'm a sucker for the Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters. I've got almost the entire run signed by Don Chin. They're fun and have that weird "underground" vibe for the first few issues.

@Paint_Monk yeah, I have always liked them...and kind of a funny story about that...I had the entire run and I believe I included them in a bunch of books I sent to @poka last holiday gift exchange!
