Just leave it up to the judgment and means of the giver. We are all adults here. To some of us $50 is lunch money, but to some of us $10 is a tidy sum this time of year especially.

If I gift someone a 9.6 copy of Plan 9 From Outer Space, they should be excited. On the CGC census there is only one listed and it is an 8.5 But the book value of it is maybe $3.00 currently.

You will get what I give you, and LIKE IT!

In all seriousness. I'm good no matter what you "suggest". I have no problem ignoring your wishes. Never have.

^^^ This right here x 10!!!

There is joy in giving and there is joy in receiving. Don't get hung up on the "legalities" of it. I think it's understood that we are talking"book" value here. And the amount is TOTALLY a suggestion! It's something so that everyone has an idea of what is expected. For $20, no one is expecting a slab (well, maybe SOME of you are - LOL). Just do what you can and have fun with it!

	My Secret Santa gift sending didn't go as I had planned. I left the return address off the package (to remain a secret santa), and the post office would not let me mail it without a return address. I thought about using a different address but since the item is insured I was afraid that might be a problem if things went south. Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men. Speaking of Christmas Presents. I ordered a couple of slabs from Comixology aka Comic Mint, for presents to me from my wife. I will give them to her to wrap when they finally get here. I also ordered a few raw books from a private person. None of them have arrived yet. No notice of having been shipped either. They were ordered on Nov. 28th. My wife has 10 presents under our tree, from me. I have one (a sweatshirt I bought and gave her to wrap to me) (It is sweet). But we are going to have Christmas at our youngest sons home on a different day than the 25th, and there will be plenty of presents for me there, from my three sons and their wives. So I'm good. But my wife is concerned about my lack of presents under our tree. I might be able to use this to my advantage and get something BIG. Like a NM 98.

	Okay, sign me up. Old stuff if possible, please, like Silver Age Adventure Comics and/or Batman/Detective Comics; or just something out of the ordinary like a foreign comic. Thanks for setting this up, Jesse.

	The person I got is going to get a sweet package from me. I asked my local comic store, who agreed to mail them for me so the person I got doesn't know who his secret Santa is..
