  1. this looks like a great show. Couldn't make it this year as I was in sunny Florida for the week but definitely on my list for next year.
  2. I have a 4 book submission received 7/12/21 and SFG on 9/2/21. Last check about 3 weeks ago it was still SFG but will reach out to my LCS for an update. Currently at 198 business days...
  3. Without fully knowing what is under the hood, yes I think so. The submission tracking page is just data output so it should be that simple.
  4. Oh good lord that's bad. I can clear the backlog with one command "DROP TABLE submissions" . Good way to get yourself hacked So much wrong here. Using SELECT * is such a bad practice. This is also the line of code that limits submissions to only showing up for 8 months before they drop off.

  7. Hmm, I think I was talking with one of the other guys but can't be sure, unless you were helping the guy who bough a bunch of sweet Astonishing Tales books. I'll check for you at the next show as I'll certainly buy from them again.
  8. @CGC Mike I'm going to bow out on this one. I've decided to sell my house and the relator wants to put it on the market June 1st so I'm going to be a little overwhelmed for the next 6 weeks. Please pull me from the list. I'll be back in on the next one
  9. Was @Kevin76 behind the booth? Lol, probably who I bought the books from as I think Steve was busy with other customers.

  11. Thanks! They had a great selection at pretty reasonable prices. Looks like they are out of Putnam Ct so not too far for me, might have to do a road trip.
  12. Great to meet you in person as well @AmazingComics413. I thoroughly enjoyed the show, my first con since Fan Expo in 2019 and this really felt like the Boston Comic Con of old. I arrived a bit late as I had some things going on early in the day but as others have mentioned, it was really packed when I got there at 12:30. I thought the set-up was pretty good, my only complaint was I had no idea what most of the booth numbers were. The little wedding size name cards were really no help and most dealers didn't have them. Lol, that's why it took me a good hour to find @AmazingComics413 . There was a good amount of variety and inventory with plenty of dollar bins and assortment of low to mid grade bronze and silver to dig through. Books seemed to moving quickly and I did notice a lot of people were looking for and buying high grade silver and bronze DC . I found all the dealers open to reasonable discounts and enjoyed talking to a number of them. They all seemed pretty happy with the sales they were making. Good day for buyers and sellers alike. It was good to see Jack from Bedrock comics out of Framingham, Superworld comics (no Ted) and found the guys/lady in the far left corner (I lost their card) had some really nice books. I think they are out of Connecticut. Two of the owners from my LCS, Hall of Comics, were there as customers but we crossed paths a number of times at different tables. I kept my eyes open for @ Pontoon but it's been a long time since I saw you so we probably walked by each other and didn't even realize it. By far @Superworld had the best books including an amazing FF #4 that was absolutely I believe it is from a new collection they just got so it is still raw. The yellows on that copy were just incredible and I really wished I had taken a picture. I had three books targeted as well as certain run fillers for FF and Incredible Hulk. There was only one copy of Marvel Premiere #1 at the whole show, a small handful of FF #46 and only one low grade Thor #166. I didn't think I could make a reasonable offer on the Marvel Premiere #1 without coming across as a d-bag so I passed. The lower grade FF's all had significant issues and I pondered the higher grade one but it likely would have been my only purchase of the day. I opted for quality and quantity instead and managed to find a number of issues that mainly closed some run gaps. Th IH 114 and 117 were the only two below 120 that I needed and the 131 is a really nice bright copy. Lots of progress on the FF run. The 129 is really sweet book and 147 was the random book that closed a nearly 100 book run. Four nice Byrne run copies including the 269 that I got from @AmazingComics413 that turned out to be a Mark Jewelers copy. That is only my third so pretty cool find. I rounded things out with a couple Iron Man with, you guessed it, another run gap filler (#131) and an early Spider woman appearance. Great show, looking forward to next year and some other upcoming local shows.

  14. As of this past Saturday I am still SFG for 4 economy received 7/12/21 (SFG 9/2/21). According to current TaT's, I should expect delivery by 5/18/22. Any takers on whether this will happen?
  15. I just scored two free tickets today from my LCS today so I will be there!
  16. Truly, no. If you don't like a post ignore it or post a constructive counter argument to state your opinion. Too much bhutt hurt in this world, people really need to grow a pair.
  17. Day 178, 4 economy slow track. No change, still SFG
  18. this place is tame compared to the way it used to be. I miss the days where being told to go fist yourself was commonplace. Anyone want to meet me in the parking lot?
