Decisions, decisions!

I agree with TNerb that the smaller cons are better. I was lucky enough to be in Philadelphia for the Ramada Inn meeting last autumn and it was GREAT! Nevertheless, I am excited about the up-coming Emerald City Comicon next weekend - my local spectacular. It will be my last chance to buy graded books for the rest of the year, so I am thinking about what to look out for. Should I decide on a title to get, or just a budget? Should I drag my Overstreet guide with me all weekend, or trust my judgment? Okay I will take the guide. Should I look for shiny 9.8s or affordable gold and silver? Is it worth the risk buying ungraded but highly desirable items... well, you all know the score. Last year there were enough dealers at ECCC to spend three days browsing old comics. I hope they will all be there again this year!

It is also great that Image Comics will have a big presence at ECCC this year. Image, for my money, have been putting out the best comics of the moment, and I thought the new Prophet was fantastic. But will I get to meet the folks that made it?
