    Can you imagine how much hotter it would be if they did even just a mediocre one instead of the shi tty one they had at the end of the film?

    Took my kids to the first showing of the day. I thought it was a great superhero film. Thanos was awesome as the villain - I hope they do not kill him at the end of the next movie and keep him around as a foil for the more cosmic focussed next stage. He may come in handy as an "anti-hero" against the Celestials...... I hope they use the reset coming after the next film to replace some of the leads. I am sorry, but for the next phase of movies they need a new Spidey that does not have the look and build of an 11 or 12 year old.......even Peter hit puberty, went to college and grew up in the comics. The one thing that I was disappointed by was the end of credits scene. It was underwhelming and had I known we would have to wait through half an hour of credits for just that I would have told the kids to leave right after the end of the film. That was likely the worst end of credits scene yet for a Marvel Film.

    How would you count those of us that do both?

    Not a bad morning for Mr. Campbell. Wake up, hit the shower, and do $250K+ in sales in 15 minutes?

    Now it looks like everything except for the CDGH signed set is sold out?

    I was just going to post that re: combining the two 4 book sets. With the discount code it is still a decent deal.

    Wow. I just snuck in at the nick of time for a couple of unsigned 8 cover sets.

    I am glad I decided to bite the bullet and snag a 9.4 last summer before the run up. At the time I landed it for 10% less than GPA 90 day average as well.

    Sorry to hear the news about your wife. I hope that she gets better soon.

    I think I will be fine using it to price some of the books when buying..........

    No. I paid $1.00 for it from a LCS a couple of years ago.

    Too bad about the moisture staining on the back cover. You should have talked to me at the Expo - I had a nice copy tucked in one of the boxes...........

    He is referring to the fall shows. I think we are booked for Red and White and just renewed Edmonton this weekend.

    That was a sales meeting.. So that's what you old timers call it........................

    They asked us to prepay for Edmonton Expo in September and then next year's Calgary Expo. No push for Vancouver or Saskatoon.

    Sales were interesting this show as there was no general pattern of what would sell from day to day unlike past shows. One day Metal was hot then cooler the next, books that sold well in the morning died mid afternoon, etc. It was a weird show. That being said, I topped the target I had set to sell at the show without moving any higher value books other than an ASM #129 CGC 8.0. Everything else was $100 - $300 slabs, and a ton of hot moderns which was awesome! It was interesting to see Dave and Adam's back again just to buy. I am wondering when more US buyers will start to show up. There is a ton of new great stuff every year.

    There were a bunch of Eros and other porn comics in a box under the table. That couple sat there and flipped through every page of every issue.........

    Funniest thing so far was watching a couple, guy and girl, spend a couple of hours flipping through all of the comic porn that Dave and Karl had in the Steranko section. They sat down on the floor in front of the table and went through every book page by page. It was interesting to see one dealer at the show with a "new collection" of books sell so many books with restoration as unrestored. There will likely be a bunch of dissatisfied buyers if they sent the books in to CGC. It was bad. We were able to detect undisclosed color touch on all but one of the books that Dave bought, unfortunately.........

    I have several with Black Cat.......

    You can just buy them all again from me at the show instead and get them signed.

    Nice books! What is your booth number? I will drop by after set up today to say hi and check some of them out.
  22. kimik
    Kevin - are there any plans to attract more media type Can you get a Marvel booth as well?
  23. kimik
    Awesome! Great job in getting them to the show.

    Looking at ended listings, ASM 794 sells for $10 - $15 as well, and 792 is going for $20-$25 now. Thanos 15 is a $50+ book. There are others I am missing as well.
