Power just went out to a sizable portion of my city. Probably a transfer station problem. So here we sit. Supper was half cooked. The girls hadn't finished carving the pumpkin. All houses are dark.

There were some amazing books at the Short Boxed table!

Yeah I know. I wanted to get over there all weekend but couldn't until loadout. Gene brought the goods.

And the hits just keep on coming!

Murph's Comics will be at booth 306. Stop by and visit.

FWIW, and this may be old news, I just got my winnings delivered and there were no CLink stickers on the slabs...anywhere!!!

The question I have is, at $13,750, is there anymore room for growth, or have we already seen 101% of the growth take place?

I remember selling my FF #52 7.5 ten years ago for the awesome sum of $118, now they are selling for 13X to 16X that. What other investment has seen that kind of growth in that time span, (and what kind of insufficiently_thoughtful_person was I for not buying every copy I could find instead of selling the only copy I had)? 

Unless I'm mistaken the previous 9.6 of this book (same copy?) went for $18,000 on CLink a couple years ago when the JLA movie hype hit its peak with the talk that Flash and Supes will race in the film.

How did the game go?

Or, more importantly, how many oxygen tanks were needed?

I keep hearing decent things about this con and it's location. I may have to visit next year.

Looking forward to it!

I have nothing new to add but I finally rewatched this last night on Netflix. It blew me away for the second time. If you've only seen it once I highly recommend a second viewing.

Apparently it was really weird and messed up. Bloody disgusting review is below but NSFW.

Painters tape?

Now I know why he marks up his back issues 500%, Clinique makeup isn't cheap!

um, so I've been told.

Great show as always. There is a serious ton of books in that room.

Anyone have a feel for why all the cancellations? A few here and there are expected, but seems to be a lot this year and about 4 less on each aisle up and down, someone said it went from 30 to 26 per aisle. I like the idea of raising the age for getting in free to some extent, but feel like it was done to try and bring in locals. Has attendance been dropping? I haven't noticed if it has! Leave me something to buy, I can't get there until Saturday!

I think last year they hit 50k for the first time. Even with cancellations I think they will have a new record this year with every child getting in free.

This year looks to be a tough one for vendors and fans alike. With MegaCon Orlando moving up their show so as not to have vendors working on Memorial Day weekend and other shows (Motor City and East Coast) also this weekend, there was no way that this show was going to book higher end guests. 

Tidewater is also going on at Virginia Beach this weekend, the states biggest con. That's a boatload of shows at once. 

Well I finally broke down and saw it yesterday mainly because I want to see Endgame soon before someone spoils it for me. I'll agree with the general consensus....eh, definitely near the bottom of the Marvel movies.  Nick's eye injury? Skrulls origin? Brie Lawson having an "attitude" and smirk in every single scene? The missed opportunities to involve Ronin more?

Too many negatives to make it good

Just missed it. Congrats to buyer and seller
