    What does that entail? How is that possible?.. Solo or do you have employees? that number is more than half a years weekends.. that's a full time job if you ask me...

    1. A lot of work 

    2. Call up promoters and sign up

    3. Me, a friend and brother all go in on stuff together.  My brother is retired from shows for the most part as of this year however.  Also get my wife & daughter to help most shows and have a couple other friends I call in a pinch if we need extra help.

    4. Some weekends there will be a show on Sat and another on Sun....they pile up quickly that way.

    5.  Well, it was worse when I was also the Head Wrestling Coach at our High School for 28 years....At least now I do have a moment or two to do other things I like....:insane:

    I've said this before and again, you're a buying machine!  How good are you at turning over some of this stuff, I believe you were setting up at cons before covid, are you selling online now?

    Thanks....Between my job as an educator and a comic entrepreneur...doesn't leave me much free time....lol

    Before covid would do 25-30 comic conventions a year....so would move a bunch that way plus have several buyers for bulk that I don't want to deal with.

    This year...different for sure.  Have done 5 shows since covid....1 each in June, July, August and 2 last weekend (Sat & Sun).  All little shows with no big multi-day shows planned in the near future.

    Because of fewer shows have adapted to more online (Facebook and eBay) sales....

    All said and done I don't know really how good I am at turning stuff over when there are 1000+ long boxes cluttering up everywhere....and usually by the time I dig through the stacks to find that "hot" book which has popped it's 10 minutes of fame is over....:insane:

    NOW....a true buying & selling machine is Earl Shaw....that man finds (and sells) more than anyone I know....Legendary!!
