Baltimore, Here I come!

So I've been preparing for the Baltimore Comic con this weekend. I'm working on getting all of my books ready and having forms filled out for the most part to make things go quicker at the tables.

Most of what I'm taking is raw this year, but if have had to be very selective about what I take, due to only having so much money to spend this time around. Last year I did over 80 books, most of which were crackings!!

This year, I only have about 17 books that I cracked and the rest are raw, mostly for simple regular grading without getting sigs.

I will be attempting to finally complete my New Mutants set after over six years of blood, sweat and yes, tears. I am also taking full advantage of seeing some creators that I have never met before, like Steve Leialoha and Tom Palmer.

I have some Bronze Age books, some a Copper Age books, some "modern" books and even one Marvel Graphic Novel that I am taking on this trip. I even may have some creators sign some of my CGC registry rewards certificates of sets that they worked on. But I hope to have everything done by noon on the second day, that way I can take full advantage of the onsite grading and spend a day and a half perusing through dealer boxes with my big brother.

We will be seeing an Orioles game at Camden Yards on Thursday, before the show, and hopefully we can have dinner with some of the CGC guys or even some of the other dealers at the show on Saturday or Sunday night. There is one panel that we will try to attend on Sunday, and we'll probably talk about it here on the boards later on.

All in all, I am looking forward to the show this year with great joy and anticipation. See you there, big bro!!!!
