Baltimore, Harveys and Stan Lee

It has been a while since I did my last journal. I have been really busy helping a good friend get moved and established with their own business, and rearranging my condo with a new TV and some new furniture as well as getting a number of prints framed and hung on my walls.

Now that all that is done, I have turned my full attention to preparing for the Baltimore Comic Con, which is shaping up to be a Fantastic show with MANY artists and writers that I want sigs from!

Between Walt Simonson, Louise Simonson, Mike Mignola, Herb Trimpe, Joe Rubinstein, Ron Frenz, Sal Buscema (WOW!), Dave Gibbons, Brian Bolland, Joe Staton, Jim Starlin, Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, Joe Hill and J. M. deMatteis, I have numerous issues that I am looking to get scrawled on.

With only two days to do it within, I will be quite busy at the show just getting signatures. On top of all of that, I plan on getting my picture taken with Stan Lee and Tnerb. He has had pics with Stan a few other times, but this will be my first one, and I have a great idea for my copy that I have told Tnerb, but will share with everyone else once it is completely done.

I have well over fifty issues I could have done at this show. Mostly New Mutants copies. But I am going to have to try and trim that total down somewhat. This is looking to be the most signatures I have tried for in one show, since most of the copies I plan on getting signed by more than one person. I just cant pass up on the chance for multiple signature opportunities when they present themselves!

Just as an example, one such opportunity is the Xfactor #6 that Ronnylama gave me last month! It is most probably a 9.8 and I am getting it signed by Louise Simonson, Joe Rubinstein and Ron Frenz! AWESOME!! Thank you, Ron!

If all this was not enough, Harvey issues have been coming up on auctions hot and heavy for the last two months! Both Casper Ghostland and Spooky Spooktown issues are flying out the door, many being single highest graded copies!

My favorite one is Spooky Spooktown #20, which I just won. It is an OAK with a jet black background! Absolutely gorgeous! Check out the pic below.

Once I get all my issues back from CGC with all the yellow label goodness from the Florida Supercon, I may put a few up for sale. I need to pay myself back for some of the other stuff I am having done in Baltimore.

Decisions, decisions...
