Mainly looking for d23s & CGC Pristine. However will consider other fun ones!

Careful putting that in the open it might cause @Guardian Comics to want to come.

She won't be coming @wasonff & @jjonahjameson11 said boys only!

I'll let you feed me in Baltimore to fatten me up

the boards are dead these days that said like normal we'll be at Fan Expo. Booth 1103

Coming from the guy who was tooooo busy hanging out with his boys to even say hello while I wandered around the floor aimlessly on my own

Don't forget my showcase 4

I'm not sure what took you so long to brag about this baby

They've already graded the promos from D23 ;)

Even Amazon is following the CGC QC method.

We don't have "registered" mail in Canada so even if @jjonahjameson11 tried that route he'd have to drive over to the USA to attempt that. Love how these threads quickly turn into blaming the victim.

Ugh don't encourage me to do that too

I'd love a new listing houses have def fallen here though (still not affordable but...)

Those are not mutually exclusive

Sunday October 15th, 2023: 10AM-4PM Wednesday December 27th, 2023 (Boxing Day Bash): 12PM-6PM

It's a 1 day show that is 4 times a year (now, previously about 6-8). Never any American dealers as it's only a 10am-4pm show. Wes was on point there is about 40 different dealers and about 125 tables total. There is a good spread between shop and weekend warriors and a sprinkling of the guy who sets up once to sell his collection (not very often, as there is a big wait list to set up). Shows been running for about 7-8 years now. Moved from one hotel to another about 2 years before covid and just expanded to add another 10 dealers or so and make aisles wider by opening up the full ballroom. Many small shows have popped up in the last few years as this show used to be the best and packed, but seems like everyone is being spread thin and reducing dealers and attendees over the last couple. There is lots of digger bins and becoming a lot of slabs (mainly moderns). There are some good high quality slabs in the room (we often run as Wes showed) some solid silver/bronze/copper slabs. There are a few others that had some bangers as well like an ASM1 7.5 (80k cdn) and a BB28 8.0 (50k cdn) in the room but at those sort of prices they are more so show pieces than for sale.

The show was not nearly as well attended as in the past. Big books were not sought after at all. Lots of people commenting on how nice they were but no one wanted to pull out their wallets for them. We had a bunch of smaller slabs sell and a whack of cheaper raws. We brought a new collection to Niagara 2 weeks ago and we brought what was left to this show. We moved almost 3 long boxes worth of the 8 boxes we had left. A few have reported they didn't have a decent show and struggled for sales.

I did make an offer on that book...he took it and was very upset at the offer, so I told him I didn't want it anymore and he replied good he didn't want to sell it to me anymore @wasonff

I'm so glad you blurred out PBR. Else the number of women who would have lost their minds would have been crazy

These negotiations were not supposed to be made public

yes it gets split in 2 different orders aka extra invoice fee, extra shipping fee, different timelines

My condolences Mike

I guess we need to get birthday drinks one year as we are too close together not to! Happy Bday CGC Employee of the year

So with everyone saying Goldin isn't the place to auction off big books cause there was 50% haircuts. I guess Heritage isn't the place to auction off big books cause there was 50% haircuts

Well I didn't do an update here but did elsewhere so for those few that care. We brought a brand new collection of mainly Silver/Bronze Marvel (with a splash of DC). We sold almost half of it at the show (7 longs) from cheaper $2-5 books all the way up to several $hundred books. This show is not "known" for big books moving but the smaller stuff always moves well for us. We had some bigger slabs also sell and a whack of cheap pokemon packs and boxes. We didn't get to walk the room much (which is normal for the show) but we did get together each night with some boardies/friends (which is why I love doing NFCC because we get extra time with everyone). From what I heard most everyone was happy with their results from the show.
