What kind of stuff are you interested in Spid? If your in NJ, you could go to comicartcon in March. They have a huge selection with things in everyone's price range.
Where is this Comicarton at in NJ. Might be a good show to go to to see what I have an interest in. I paired down my comic collection over the year from 5,000 books to 3,000 to 1,200 and just a few months ago i was laid off for 8 months and decied it was own to my favite 2-300 books. So I now have my collection of comics done and always thought about getting some original art or a comic page but having been unemployed for 8 months and then working at a $13 an hour job at quick chek for another 4 months until I found my current management job I am on a tight budget for a while .The art seemed do expensive when I read the threads on here.But I am learning its not all expensive and you can get decent stuff for under $100 etc. My interest probably would be some Venom Spiderman type stuff. The con is held in Secaucus NJ, heres the website http://comicartshowcase.com/comic-art-con.html Its has an entrance fee of $10, but its not that bad. It can be a little over whelming at first seeing all that stuff together, but you get use to it.
Heres a video, the room in the video is the older one, and for the one coming up, is suppose to be much bigger.
