Wall-Crawler

Got these back yesterday...The MGN #4 is a price variant...My theory though is that this might be a Canadian edition. Thoughts? The Star Wars #68, second highest graded on census and sole signed copy. Nice looking first Beta Ray Thor.

Grade?

Lots of speculation about Adam Warlock (still) obviously they would want to keep this "under wraps" but is there a possibility we might not see Warlock? I say this because could his rights potentially be tied up with Fox and the FF "franchise"?

Silver Sable is the head of Silver Sable International, merc and hunter of war criminals (mostly Nazi's I think). The Wild Pack is her group of mercs...She hired Sandman for a spell...I also think there was a comic that said her company is the backbone of her home country's economy....Symkaria or something.

Villain angle would be cool too. Regardless, I think a "Sinister Syndicate" movie has legs

Save him for the sequel

SONY - WTH? I would be surprised if this movie ever gets made. I even have doubts about the Venom solo flick without first being introduced in a Spidey film. Personally, I would MUCH rather see a "Suicide Squad" or heist type movie comprised of Spidey's best villains...Big Wheel, Grizzly, Looter, Mind Worm, Rocket Racer, Shriek, Will O the Wisp and White Rabbit...The Kangaroo makes an appearance for like 10 minutes but is quickly killed off. Throw in Hammerhead and CHA-CHING!

Updated "show' schedule... Northeastern Ontario Antique Collectibles and Nostalgia Spring Show - April 9th, 2017 (confirmed - This is the one that "got me started") Graphic Con - June 10th, 2017 (confirmed) Northern Game Expo - October 15th, 2017 (confirmed) Northeastern Ontario Antique Collectibles and Nostalgia Spring Show - October 22nd (confirmed) Gateway FanEx - November 12th, 2017 (exact date pending, but confirmed)

Some positive news...I was notified via email today I have been "accepted' as a vendor for Sudbury Graphic Con. The show is one day, on a Saturday, 10 AM to 8 PM. The only downside is that I had applied for a "Premium Vendor Booth" (basically two 8 foot tables) - And due to "organizational reasons", I am only getting a 'Vendor Booth' - As in a single 8 foot table. They said this was a possibility in the application process, that Premium Booths were issued at the Con's discretion. I don't know how many they had available to begin with. I replied (very politely) asking if there was any way I could get another table as I just have some concerns about being able to offer a variety of product as there will be some travel costs (possibly hotel for overnight). I have never done a show with only one table, mind you, this will be (by far, hopefully) a much, much larger crowd. I also inquired how much room I would have behind me for a display board and if I could bring my own smaller (4 ft) table if I was at the "end" of a row. I was polite, I just hope they don't take me as a "needy" vendor, just I could stack three 8 foot tables and I am not accustomed to taking so little product, even to the small local shows I have been doing. Regardless, I am pretty sure I will do the show if all I get is the single 8 foot table, I will just have to get creative and it could be a "foot in the door" and maybe reach some new customers. UPDATE: I was advised that there were no extra tables and that the size of the space would be 10 x 10 with the 8 foot skirted table and that I could bring any other display/furniture to display my wares so long as it fit within the space and didn't violate fire code. For the reasons stated above, I formally accepted. What the heck. Time to maybe see how creative I can get with a 10 x 10 space?

Only one I have scanned...I suspect a lot of these will be posted. RIP.

Wow - Thanks for sharing! I'm getting some more ideas, which is always good! The area I have to work with is nowhere near that size but not sure I could fill it either! I like the display racks at the back, good use of space there! I have did my first $2 boxes (or 3 for $5) at the last local con I did and they did ok. For those books, they were my "odds" that don't belong with a particular or significant run or were cheap to begin with. I plan on having one table be half $2 boxes and half completed sets. The other table would be runs...The third table is the table in question, depending which way I decide to go...

I just finished episode one, others will have to wait. The show is fine, like all of Marvel's Netflix shows there is a bit of pacing issue but Iron Fist, in my opinion is a good (so far). I think with success that Marvel has had, it is becoming "cool" to hate on them? They have a formula, it works and they are sticking to it. I honestly do not know why the critics "hate it" this much...

"Sony has tapped Dante Harper to pen a -script for Venom, something that is being envisioned as a franchise apart from and unrelated to the upcoming Spider-Man movie in the works with actor Tom Holland." "Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, stewards of the Spider-Man properties, are producing and overseeing the project." Venom is one of my Top 5 Spidey villains and I hope this flick is done right but I am not sure the "solo" route is the good way to go...How can they do Venom without Spidey? I mean, they CAN but this just seems like such an odd approach. I have no problem with the solo franchise route but to me, the hook for general audience would be to in some way to introduce him and/or tie him to Spidey in some capacity. ...Avi's track record is not the best either...

SOLD via PM.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I liked to even keep track of the little books to see what ones were moving, slowing down, etc. My spouse does all the accounting/cash + receipts, leaving me free to interact with customers and make recommendations, haggle, etc. I will likely try a "test" table here at home, just to see a few days before the show. Still not sure exactly what I will decide but leaning towards trying something at least a little different. I have some "other" collectibles and not necessarily 'pure' comic stuff (I have some not a lot though), just to add a bit of variety as this show is kind of a "hodge podge" of collectors and nice to get some sales from "random folks" as most now are regulars who come to the show just to see what I have.

Hello everyone! I just posted several IRON FIST books. Included are a MP #15 CGC 5.5 and an Iron Fist #14 CGC 5.0 along with a very nice run of Iron Fist (vol. 1) and of Marvel Premiere and a few others. Check them out here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MARVEL-PREMIERE-15-CGC-5-5-FIRST-APPEARANCE-OF-IRON-FIST-HOT-BOOK-NETFLIX-/371894143399?hash=item56969e49a7:g:IU4AAOSwB-1YyebW More to come! Any questions, just ask!!

Thanks! I don't have two spinner racks...My thing is I don't want to buy too many supplies that I may or may not use. For the one aisle, I plan on having $2 boxes (or 3 for $5) and completed sets/trades. On the opposite aisle, I was going to have your traditional run of books (Batman, Spider-Man, etc). The middle I already have an idea...Mix of comics/sets, digests, magazines, some toys and odds and sods.

I like the idea of making use of the "corner" space by placing supplies or where I can place people's stack of books. Good call. I might put some other signage. When I had the extra table, I have used a "tiered" approach...I basically just used the lids of the comic boxes w/o having to buy another display supplies. ...Now my main concern is cash as I always used a cash box...And my wife would write out receipts so I knew exactly what sold at the end of the day...Having no space to write might be cumbersome. Thoughts on that? I might try to track down a couple of those "apron style" things that restaurant servers use...Hmmm...My brother manages a restaurant...

Headed for eBay soon. Open to reasonable offers.

Thanks for input into the whole home business. Something I still have to look into. So, my small local show is coming up again and as I mentioned before I was thinking of "changing up" how I set up...I am limited with what I can do though. First pic is how it "normally looks"- Basic long boxes in the front (sometimes with some "display" items) and "wall books" in the back. Second pics And this is the " layout" I was thinking with the space I will have to work with (might lose my wall book display for this show, gets eyes no buys). Also found out space is tight, won't be able to have a smaller table, so no "cash" table. Both have their "pros and cons"...My biggest concern with the "booth concept" is theft, no place for secure cash or for people to place their handfuls of books and such. Opinions welcome.

Ok, glad to hear that! IF I had that book, I would want to show it off too! Gorgeous ASM #3! Still nothing new to report in terms of purchases

Price change: Now $300 USD + Bonus Book + Free Shipping within Canada and USA.

Hmmmmmmmm....

One idea that I have been "toying" with is the idea of getting a small/home business licence. If things proceed according to plan, I will do 4 local shows this year + the online selling. I'm wondering if it is "time" to make that leap but I am not sure if is "worth it". Any sellers have any experience with it or thoughts in general? Particularly from Ontario? Thanks!
