  1. done...I recently sold a 3.5 , so I'm just extrapolating...this copy clears 2 mil easy
  2. demographic in our area is not conducive to supporting a store
  3. shill bidding is not legal in texas?...it is legal for employees of an auction house to bid on that auction house offerings, but shill bidding is very much illegal for texas auctioneers
  4. I think I own the OA from one of those...have to look through, but ringing familiar
  5. I've never sold a piece of my silver surfer art, and i've bought several pieces from CAF members either directly or through auctions...some were removed, some not, still displayed...doesn't bother me in the slightest if they leave up, as what counts is where the piece currently resides (imo)
  6. Might have been the next year. But memory fades. However you were one of the first I mentioned it too
  7. @jhm we were just talking about this Saturday...and now I get to see it!
  8. there has always been an "entry " level, where sometimes a .5 will sell same as a 1.5, depending on whats available etc...and higher grade has always behaved with more exponential quality...but when I started this in 2001 at sdcc, it was more for me to know , "ok, I can sell a hulk 1, in 4.0 for 4K...so as long as I see a copy that is less than 1K a grade point, I can buy to resell"....then I created little notes for me...it worked great on most all books to about 6.0 and then I did a 1.5x factor etc...thats how the entire "price per point" terminology came about...
  9. it is lovely right now...reminder Im closing store dec 23rd (for good)...so store continues to get sparser and sparser as things sell, if you are going to make a trip
  10. don't forget Bedrock and harley! but that's why it was a "giant" version of the mini con...but it lacked most other major dealers that attend Heroes Like Reece and Storms, etc
  11. thanks Lou...but not "one of", but "the" original PPP concept originator makes me feel more special
  12. this wasn't a Heroe's con...it was a bigger version of his mini con...
  13. We were very blessed that we sold a lot of books. But crowd was very underwhelming versus expectations. I heard the same that folks were turned away by the convention center staff if they didn’t meet covid requirements.
  14. I just priced some sa keys and can’t believe how much they are going for now. So if you want to pay top $ for one, come see me we will have some reasonably priced books as well.
  15. hello all... this is the only con we are doing this year, and I searched and didn't see a post for it. Held in the convention center (like heroes con), should be a good one! I believe we are set up booth 510/511/512 stop by and say hi rick
