From 10 am to 3 pm, comic books and the like will be bought, sold, and traded. 

Update. This actually runs until 3:30 -- not 4:00. 

Now I don't know if there's going to be snow that day, but I've got a feelin'. A SNOW FEELIN'! And what's better -- comic books or clearing your sidewalk?

It's with my deepest sadness that I have to share that "bird" -- Sean Wasielewski -- passed away suddenly on Wednesday. He was a man with many opinions, and he and I had some great discussions about comics and life over the years both here and -- even better -- face-to-face. 

I spoke with his wife earlier today and she let me know that a service will take place soon, although they don't have the details yet. I suspect it will be near the shore in Jersey where he lived, and I'll post that information here when I get it. Along with his wife, he had two lovely daughters.

Did you know that Derek, the con organizer, always brings snacks? He also brings various Mountain Dew flavors for a refreshing drink. It's the little things.

No kidding! It's kind of a shocker when you get that quote. Especially when that company has an Arborist on staff. GLWTS!

And it's not something you (or at least I) could do myself. I can do regular lawn stuff. But taking down four 30-foot trees? No way.

That's it for now!

Throw one Marvel from the early 90s in there...

Ghost Rider #15 9.8 White

$90

Tales of the New Teen Titans #1 9.8 White

$95

Batman and the Outsiders #1 9.8 White

$120

All Star Squadron #1 9.8 White

$115

Blue Devil #1 9.8 White

$100

Saga of the Swamp Thing #1 9.8 White

$175

Do you know how much tree removal costs? Well, it ain't cheap! Since that event has sucked dry my comic sales/profits, I need to start replenishing. And what better way than a pile of 80s 9.8s?

These just back from Florida. All 9.8s, all white pages. All keys? Semi-keys? Key-ish?

Payment through PayPal G&S or cash if you're in the Philadelphia area if you want to meet up.

Shipping is $10 for 1; more than 2-4 is $15; and if you're crazy enough to buy more, that's $20.

Refunds accepted within 30 days of shipping.

@ADAMANTIUM See this crazy update!

Here is an interesting new twist on the Canadian Mark Jeweler's.

I have nothing clever to write this time. Sorry. I promise to do better next one.

Sold out room with plenty of new dealers!

No early birds!

Admission is $4 and parking is free. Door prizes are back, so you can win $25 con cash every hour!

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, POST THEM HERE AND HOPEFULLY I CAN ANSWER (or I'll ask Derek).

There are dealers there that will accept submissions. I know Basement Comics is there, and I'll be dropping off things to have pressed and then submitted. 

As other have said:

Sets are tough sells. Credit card readers are a must. Have everything priced. Make a display of some kind. Bring lots of $1s and $5s. Bring whatever you want/can; remember, it is the promotor's job to bring people to the con, but it is your job to have the things there that they want to buy. You may do terrible the first time out, but don't be discouraged. Slabs don't sell nearly as well at shows as they do online.

I would recommend NOT doing 2 booths the first time out. It's a lot of work setting up that much stuff. When I have 2 10x10s, I usually bring around 50 long boxes worth of stock.

My favorite big-con of the year, Terrificon returns at the end of July. Great guests, lots of comic book dealers (yes, comic books), and gambling, too! What more can you ask for?
