Or Travelling to the Con

I don't understand why I'm being asked if I'm nervous? Do my co-workers think my plane will go down? Do they wonder if I'll miss my crossover flight or do they know my trepidation about my Amazing Spider-Man #129. There is nothing forcing me to get it graded and Gerry Conway's appearance was the very reason I ever brought up the ECCC.

There are others I would love to meet but not necessarily get books graded. After writing about the event a couple times Ronnylama contacted me saying he would love to meet. The con just became an excuse for something greater. At NYCC 2012 I started to meet others from the registry and more still who collected CGC comics without placing them in the registry.

I have 5 invoices ready totaling just a wee fraction over seven hundred dollars. This doesn't include a single high grade Gerry Conway book I want to also have signed. Maybe issue 128, although 121 or 122 would have me salivate more.

My largest invoice has six books, all of which are to be signed by Terry and Rachel Dodson, can you guess which books. This invoice more than any other is the one I might drop and I'll say it now, without pressing I think issues 1-3 will be graded a 9.4 and 4-6 a 9.6, I don't think any if them wii achieve a 9.8...except number six, but hesitant to say so.

For anyone going, I hope to meet you, especially at Dinner Saturday night. For anyone that want to experience it as much as possible I will be tweeting out under @CGCLee with as many pictures as I can. I even have a battery backup for my phone. As for being nervous, not at all. I think I'll be more nervous coming back because I'll have to work that much more for when I want to go again next year.

Thanks for Reading
