As for preferences...I am always up for trying something new so if whomever has me wants to surprise me, it's cool, but to throw a few things out there...
I am always up for anything Flash Gordon, in particular I am looking for Vol. 1 of the Checkers Flash Gordon by Alex Raymond collections (I have 2-7), I see volumes on the cheap at times that would fit the $15 limit but cover is a little over that), I also like any of the vintage FG paperback, especially those with Al Williamson illustrations
I am a pretty big fan of Robert E. Howard stuff in general, Conan in particular and any offbeat stuff outside the actual Marvel or Dark Horse comics is appealing.
Art books and art prints, I love art books.prints especially from/by artists I particularly enjoy.
Bone action figures, I have been looking in vain for these in the wild, not particularly expensive just hard to find, also looking for issues of Jeff Smith's Tuki series
Anthologies-I like comic anthologies as a way of finding new things.
Hanna Barbera stuff-from Space Ghost to Scooby Doo, I love it all.
Micronauts stuff outside the comics or trades of the new IDW series
Frazetta stuff-anything from covers of vintage paperbacks to prints, portfolios to lunchboxes with Frazetta art
there that should give you a range of ideas to choose from, or go outside the box and pick something you think I might like.

As for myself I've always said that I'm easy to shop for; I pretty much love anything horror or sci-fi related so what ever anyone loves about those genres and would like to share with me I'm down.

Not having my collection sorted (someday ), I honest to gawd don't know what to tell you, but I can say this A few areas I am painfully short on include any pulp reprints of the Shadow or Doc Savage or fanzines of those characters Comic strips - As I grow older I love the classic strips pre-1980. Any collection of practically any kind would be appreciated. Let me just add that I am not a condition freak, so outside of Fair or Poor, anything is ok. Also, any undergrounds would be cool. Always looking for those or something like it.

BTW, just a thought here, but do we have to maintain the 10 year rule for Classic Comics ?

BTW, just a thought here, but do we have to maintain the 10 year rule for Classic Comics ? We don't have to. Someone can mention in their preference they only want older stuff I guess. I tend not to make a distinction between older/current stuff unless I have to for this forum, it's all comics to me. But others have different preferences, and that's cool, so my take is it's up to each person. -M

My preference is to superhero books. I'm not really a comic strip fan and I remember not participating in a CCF a few years back with that subject. I'm glad I didn't get @mrp this year, as he must have every comic ever published by now...

I know I might be a little late for listing preferences, but I would really like good Batman, Wonder Woman, or Green Lantern stories (really, any DC would be fine, except Flash or Aquaman because I own a lot of their books already and no Superman because I find him boring)
And I would prefer older stuff, like post-Crisis but not nu52.

Remember, whether you tear open your gift as soon as you get it, or wait until you open your gifts on Christmas Eve/Day/Boxing Day or whatever, take pics and share what you got if you can!

I got my gifts today, and I couldn't be more pumped! The first was Shadowman Vol.1 which is an excellent choice as I've really been meaning to get into the whole Valiant Universe as the art always looks fantastic, and the second is even better as it hearkens back to those comic grab bags I used to get for Christmas growing up as a kid. Thank you Santa!
