This is the current plan.  It's only for these last few to get to the magic 100.

I *like* paper cards.  I like them better with foreign stamps on the
envelope, but VIA BURO "IS OK",  too.

I resisted LoTW for a long while thinking that I'd somehow have to use
LoTW credits to get DXCC.  I've been disabused of that notion and am
now good in LoTW.  Some of the 12 "missing" countries are confirmed in
LoTW, and in fact, my combined confirmation total (according to DX
Lab) is 98.

But really, is a QSO confirmed via LoTW really real ... or is it just
a figment of someone's imagination?

I WANT PAPER!  :-)

Of course, as soon as I get the actual award, I'll do it all via LoTW.
 I've got WAS via LoTW already but am waiting to get WAS Phone and WAS
RTTY before I submit.

The DXpedition "fees" are understandable given the increasing cost of
travel.  VP6DX sure made it worth your while with a fast upload of
credits to LoTW and then the nice color booklet that just came - not
bad for $5.

73,
