At the Con

More comic books please.

The main reason I went to the Philadelphia Comic-Con was to pick up at least two CGC boxes. Every time I went to this convention, the same dealer in the same spot always had them displayed. Every time but this time, the time that I needed it. I walked around a bit longer than I normally would have but I had a purpose. I also spent more than I thought I would. I left with raw books only, nothing graded and my wallet was $76.00 lighter. One dealer I haven't purchased anything from in a long time and would like to the next time I see him, another dealer I don't think I will purchase from him again.

I looked for deals, as does everyone. I purchased a few books for memories sake, but mostly I purchased things to sell, or at least try too. I purchased a few hardcover's and already placed three of the four on eBay. The one I want to keep, OK I want to keep all of them but I figure I only spent $76 to hopefully get a little bit more. I even picked up a few really nice looking variants. I skipped on the JLA #1 in black and white because the grade would not have received the illustrious 9.8. The books I bought however I will use for the means of teaching myself how to grade the CGC way.

If I am lucky I will be able to send it in but if I am lucky (because of Keegan at Comics o Astonish) I will at least be able to send it in with the best information I have at my disposal. The next con isn't until Jan. 15th 2012; this will give me some time to either save up for something good, or to try a full year hiatus.

Thanks for Reading
