This past Sunday I went to a local northern VA con in Dunn Loring. This con is held every few months. It's held at a fire station, which always reminds me of cons I went to as a kid. The place was packed, and it surprised me at how many dealers were selling comics for a quarter a piece, all in alphanumeric order and long runs of titles. I don't even bother with my want list at these boxes, I just grab want I think I might not have. There were also alot of 50 cent and dollar boxes (again, in alphanumeric order), but there didn't seem to be much difference between those "higher cost" boxes and the quarter boxes. I could have spent more time there, but I had to get home to help decorate the tree (and to watch the Redskins).

The con also had a pretty good selection of silver and gold (for a local con), and I picked up a few silver age Marvels for pretty good prices (ie, less than ebay or comiclink).
