At least one of the local dealers is set up (Bill's Books).  Last time I went was 2018 and I remember it being a nice mix of dealers but not enough deals to justify driving back and forth.  Hope you find some great books!

Thanks. I’ve went the last couple of years and comics are definitely the secondary market at this show. There’s a high probability my kids come home with more plastic swords and axes than I do comics.

Mid-auction 

Is anyone going this year? I’ll be there for a while on Saturday with the kids.

I’m excited about the contest but more excited to see what sweet books have been graded and I can make offers on.

Well since our own @Dr. Love already posted the auction page, I must say I'm extremely delighted that this book just perfect-stormed itself into a little sub-set that I'm working on! I was braced for it to go hundreds higher, and when it didn't, I honestly yelled "YES" and threw some hands in the air, as I bid well more than it ended up costing me!!! 

It’s a pretty book in hand. You’ll enjoy it.

Vault of Horror #28 (CGC 8.0 with off-white to white pages.) $950:$850

A ghastly Johnny Craig cover!

Outstanding centering, superb structure, bright, vibrant and fully saturated colors!

I doubt you’ll find a better looking 8.0 than this.

I recently had this graded.

An interested back story to this book. In the late 1980’s I discovered Redbeard’s Book Den. I was living in the SF Bay Area and Ron was living in Crystal Bay, NV- not that far away. Ron was early with posting comics online and that’s how I came to know about his books. From the late 1980’s to 1990 I purchased many books from Ron, mainly ECs and Silver Age Marvels.

It was always a pleasure to do business with Ron. Spot-on grading, super knowledgeable and always willing to share that knowledge.

This is one of the many ECs I bought from Ron. Adds a tiny bit of provenance.

Maybe 🤔 you would like to own it again? 

If I didn’t have another copy I probably would.

I wish you luck... it's an absolute beast. @C. Spaulding sold me this copy which is a cracked-out 3.0 (front looks better, back has staining); it was a modest upgrade to a 2.5 copy I then sold off. I've not seen another copy for sale in three years. No GPA sales, no sales on HA.

 

I recognized that one right away. She looks even better out of the slab.

Approx 1985 IIRC

This is correct. I was mistaken earlier and had to double-check. Pre-85

Pre 1985 for this forum

More than anything, I’m concerned we might be dealing with a broken keyboard here. Can you try this below to help diagnose the issue? In rare cases if this button is broken I’ve heard it can also affect a similar button on the other side of the keyboard allowing carriage returns.

It was on my list for a long time too and then I ended up with both of these copies at almost the same time. The 6.0 was sold a while back to fund other books but it’s definitely near the top of favorite ECs for me as well.

This might be what I was thinking about. It was a while back…
