Been a busy month since I've been back but wanted to update. I never made it to any shops in either location but did enjoy visiting Edinburgh. Most of the shops were closed in Paris on Sunday which was my only real opportunity to get into the city on my own. I will be back there, likely around this time next year so hopefully will be able to make some visits. My flight to Edinburgh was delayed two hours so it was late when I got into the city that Friday. I golfed the next day and then did a bus tour the full day on Sunday. I did partake in a number of pints and some whiskey all three nights . Beautiful city, I highly recommend a visit.

If someone pulls out a physical list I'd say their average age is in the 65 range and if they have their list in digital format they usually are 50 ish. I don't think I've seen a person under 40 have a list of filler books in quite awhile.
I'm a mix of both but my master list is a notebook. I'm on V3 and been crossing things out as I go along (wish I had savedd the old notebooks). I do use CLZ for tracking and pricing info at cons or a local shop but always have the notebook with me. I guess I fit in the demo being 58

When it comes to collecting back issues from the Golden Age to 1985 or so, I think it is.
hopefully you are wrong. If not, I've got some fancy TP that will last me through my incontinence years.

Looks like a lot of us are all around the same age but hopefully not representative of the hobby as a whole. Most of my earliest purcahses were obviously funded by my parents and then later allowance. I never had a paper route but my first "job" was going to my dad's dental office and cleaning the chairs and other equipment as well as sterilizing the dental tools. I did this from 11- 13 so clearly some OSHA and child labor law violations by letting a minor run an autoclave unsupervised. Man, the 70's were really a different time.

I don't like that it's called Clam City.
It could be worse, they could be serving bloody caesars'
I'm traveling but hoping to check this out at some point. Comics and beer, what could go wrong...

I don't play golf, so not regular that it is worth saying that I don't play it.
I had one on a par 3 as a teen and like one bet and winning in Vegas I quit to say I had doubled my money at the casino 😂
There was a ridge or cliff to our left, so instead of hitting on the fairway, I did what all teenagers new at an official course with there parents and best friend do, cut wise to the left as a noob.
Playing through we went to find my ball and wound up at the hole with the people waiting in front of us whom had waited to snap a pic of whomever hit the hole in one.
Idk if they played a trick on me but the husbands wife turned out to be a doctor, which added validity to this teenagers mind haha
Doesn't matter how it gets there as long as it goes in. I've come close three other time by less than 1 foot and nearly had an albatros (2 on a par 5) where I hit the pin and kicked about three feet away.

A par 3 is the #1 handicap hole?
It was an "executive" course. All par 3's but this one was the hardest. If I recall correctly all waste area/water until about 20 yards before the green.

There I am debating a superworld purchase. Anyone know who was the vendor across from J & S? (Hightlighted in the red box) I meant to get their name as they had some good prices and a ton of nice books.

I got there just before 11 and stayed for nearly 3 hours. I had a wedding up in the Winnipesaukee area last night so had to leave a little earlier than I wanted since I needed to grab a bite to eat as well. The venue is about a half a mile from downtown Concord so I was able to drive over after for a burger and a beer at The Barley House Restaurant & Tavern (great burgers!). Tons of books, good crowds and some really long lines for the artists. I didn't see the carnage dude and like Ryan said, not too many women. I did see a number of kids at the show including a couple buying some ASM bronze. There was also an unconfirmed Roy sighting but he was out the door shortly after I arrived.
After a quick stop to see @AmazingComics413 I walked the room to locate some dealers that I wanted to check out. I wasn't sure if I was going to try to focus on one or two bigger books that are on my radar but wall prices were "elevated" from what I looked at. Many dealers seemed to be open to offers and saw a couple bigger books get picked up. Lots of tire kicking for sure, everyone seemed to want to know the price of ASM 252 but didn't see any move. I opted for working on some run fills and had good success and I was able to work some bulk discounts at a couple tables. The 4 Conan books completed my run from 1-120. The Hulk 145 is a really solid squarebound and has been eluding me for some time in higher grade. I'll definitely be back next year, great show!
