I had the opportunity to pick up some interesting stuff the other day and I've decided to "share the wealth" with my customers on CCL by having a contest. Don't miss out on your chance to pick up one of these books. A couple of them are limited printings, so they're bound to be hard to find.

The buyer who spends the most at my store (excluding shipping) between now and November 15th, 2009 will get their choice of one of the following books (Scans can be viewed at the bottom of this post, the streak near the outside edge of the books is a prblem with my scanner, not the books):

Star Wars Invasion #0 from Dark Horse (The 2009 Diamond Retailer Exclusive that was handed out at the Summit in Baltimore)

Solomon Kane Baltimore 2009 Ashcan Special (Death's Black Riders Part 1 of 4) from Dark Horse (Another book handed out at the 2009 Diamond Retailer's Summit in Baltimore, according to the cover there are only 1,000 of these)

Buck Rogers #1 June 2009 from Dynamite
- The 1:5 Matt Wagner cover - signed by Matt Wagner

This is just a small sample of what I picked up. Depending on the response to this contest, I may add more prizes and winners. We'll just have to wait and see.

The winner will be notified at the end of the contest and I will send their selection by Priority Mail.

I'll be adding a few more books to my store throughout the month. If there's something you're looking for, let me know and I'll try to see if I have it.

Now for the "fine" print: The winner will be determined based on the total for the merchandise purchased between Oct. 13 and Nov. 15, 2009. Shipping costs DO NOT count towards the contest totals.

With the Holiday Season upon us, I've decided to hold a drawing featuring some more of the goodies I picked up at the Diamond Retailers Summit back in October. My getting to attend one day of the summit was an unexpected opportunity, and I want to share some of my good fortune with my friends on CCL. I've carried over the books that weren't chosen in my Fall Contest and added a couple of more.

Everyone who places an order at the Pack Rat's Barn thru the end of the year has a chance to win. The winner of the drawing will get their choice of one of the following prizes (Scans of the books can be viewed at the bottom of this post, the streak near the outside edge of the books is a problem with my scanner, not the books):

Star Wars Invasion #0 from Dark Horse (The 2009 Diamond Retailer Exclusive that was handed out at the Summit in Baltimore)

Solomon Kane Baltimore 2009 Ashcan Special (Death's Black Riders Part 1 of 4) from Dark Horse (Another book handed out at the 2009 Diamond Retailer's Summit in Baltimore, according to the cover there are only 1,000 of these)

Haunt Preview - June 2009. Signed by Robert Kirkman

Here's how the drawing will work:

Your first order at my store between November 22 and December 31, 2009 gets you one entry.

For every $10.00 you spend on merchandise from my storeduring that same time, you get an additional entry. (Shipping costs do not count towards credit for drawing entries)

When you order. I'll let you know how many entries you have.

For each entry, I will place a coupon with your CCL ID on it into a box. On January 1, 2010, one of my kids will draw a coupon from the box and I'll notify the winner by PM.

Postage is included for any book selected as the prize (in other words I pay the postage). The book will be mailed to the winner using USPS First Class Mail.

Once the winner has picked their prize, I'll announce their CCL name and prize in this thread.

I'll be adding a few more books to my store throughout the month. If there's something you're looking for, let me know and I'll try to see if I have it.

Now for the "fine" print:
Only buyers with US addresses are eligible for this contest.

The winner will be selected by a drawing on January 1, 2010.

Shipping costs DO NOT count towards your credit for drawing entries

As promised, here are the scans of the books:
