They were similar....KC probably had more celebrities but that doesn't help me out...so don't really care about that. I purchased more at Indiana but KC had some good dealers too. Big crowds at both...Both worth going to!

We have set up at Motor City for many years....over the past few years it has grown a tremendous amount....almost more than the Novi Convention Center can handle at this point. Great show.... Our booth will have 16 magazine boxes of stuff...Warren mags, Marvel, Skywalds, Eerie Pub and many others so come check out Mark Scott Comics if you are looking for magazines....Last year our booth was 715/814 but not sure this year....should be in the same area....

This was my first Planet Comic Con so did not really know what to expect....that being said set a pretty high goal for myself due to the inventory I took...first 2 days were underwhelming but Sunday was killer...pretty much opposite of most shows. Good sales of GA and SA to several customers and a few nice dealer sales put me over the top (I gear my sales towards dealers). All said and done...still not sure if I will return. Set up Thurs was the worst...hated it. Out of all the shows we do this was the worst...Sunday tear down was better. Should have ran set up more like tear down.

This will be our 1st Planet Comic Con!! Check us out at 2105 Mark Scott Comics....we will have lots of discounted GA, SA, BA as well as Several Keys...around 16 discounted boxes of magazines....a few toys....some signed/variant comics....pretty much a little bit of most everything!

Got this for $100....one of the very few Showcase I have never had....

Lol....Dale is one of the best comic dealers in the country and at any show will probably have the best material you will want! From one of the non-centerpiece guys w/4 booths of vintage material....the show was fantastic. Being on Easter weekend had no effect at all with the exception of a slower Sunday (expected)....we've set up at each of the Indiana Comic Cons. My business model is to sell to dealers and to the regular Joe....normally won't see many high grade or keys from me unless you have a dealer badge and get to me early. Dale can give you his own review but judging from the crowd and my past experience with this convention....Indiana is a great place for a comic show....even on Easter weekend.

This was the 4th year for the Indiana Comic Con and it was the best one yet! A big thanks to the everyone involved putting it together...great job! Easter weekend was just fine for a comic show....Sunday was a little slower than in the past but that was to be expected being Easter....maybe end at 4:00 on Sunday instead of 5:00. Already looking forward to ICC 2018!!

Day 1 was great...both selling and buying! Bring on Saturday!!

Yep, it is. Probably will affect attendance but still think sales will be solid....

Lots of great comic dealers in past years...I can only assume it will be the same this year! Of course come see us as well....4 booths of comics and stuff! Mark Scott Comics Booths....907,909,1006,1008

I still haven't recovered from seeing this newest Cage comic....Marvel should have taken advantage of the popularity of the TV Show but instead produced this.....

Thanks for the info!

Here is an oddity I have not seen before....the comic has a Mark Jewelers insert in the center (not unusual) but right after the cover has a slick "Mennen Millionaire" ad. Here is a couple pics....anyone else seen one of these?

Here is the slipcase folder....

My favorite treasury...Famous First Edition C-61 limited edition. Posted this a while back...figured this was the perfect thread to do it again....

Buyers have all the power so I cancelled the purchase....good thing was I relisted it and within less than an hour sold it and it was paid for right away....

Just got this today from a best offer accepted yesterday. "I forgot I bid on this and just purchased a new car...Please cancel my bid" Guy must have short term memory loss as he made the best offer the previous night....what a hassle...

Here is a Thrilling Comics #41 with Hitler and Mussolini on ebay right now.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Thrilling-Comics-41-Classic-Hitler-Mussolini-cover-CGC-4-5-OW-WHITE-Pgs-/311694729331?hash=item4892742073 Love the bed and sheets....great Schomburg cover!

Im certain your inbox is full of pms. ....actually not one....which is good since I would be disappointing anyone who sends one. What shape are the books in? They look pretty nice. Like any collection they vary... But most are at least mid-grade or better.

How is the condition on the Fantasy 15 ? Clearly that is the money book that made the purchase expensive. VG Yeah it was...the AF 15 cost was the biggest part by far of the near 300 comics purchased.

Dang dude, how much are we talking? A gentleman does not kiss and tell....but rest assured this is not like the estate sale post where FF 1 and other SA went for less than $10 each (I could only wish to find such a deal). The owner was well compensated and quite happy with the transaction.

Im certain your inbox is full of pms. ....actually not one....which is good since I would be disappointing anyone who sends one.

Here are a few others from my purchase.....

Lots of nice finds....always fun to see what everyone is picking up.... Here are a few from an OO collection I just bought....they were not cheap but I am pretty happy!

At the conclusion of the convention this year they had a meeting explaining the situation. Basically they stated that the convention center had them down for the wrong dates but they were trying to work it out to change to the normal dates. They must not have been able to negotiate a deal as last week they sent out early bird notices to dealers for a discount on booth fees for paying early. The dates were Aug 24-27 2017. Not ideal as we all get used to the same schedule year after year but what can you do? Just wait a week later for one of the best shows of the year!
