    I had no idea you were setting up; is this your first time as a dealer? I maybe would have paid the crazy entry fee if I knew.

    Is the part in bold where you are predicting TATs to increase? If not, can you please point me to your prediction?

    Always do that no matter who the seller is. So many people just see the picture and hit the button. Often, bad for both buyer and seller. I find Adam’s grades and services spot on. Yes, always read everything and look many times at the scans. I generally agree with blissard's grades; a Cole I bought from him quite a while back was at least a couple grades higher than advertised. I'm just saying, due to his reputation, don't bid based on the grade in the title itself. A few descriptions note tape, missing pages, etc which are not in the title. I've also seen scans with rust not mentioned in the description. Due diligence and everyone will be happier.

    So many books! Everyone be sure to read the descriptions and consult the scans.

    Lower grade but complete and deep colors.

    Whoa, Marvel Boy #1 is $50+ now?! I thought when I was picking them up recently it was a long-term play. Time to get scanning...

    Any other boardies go?

    Terry - thanks for setting up the show and for the comic!

    This discussion devolved into specifics about mailing but the question is about a company already having your item and traveling around internationally with it. Not only about potential damage/loss but the “free” publicity to show off something which is not theirs to further their business.

    I understand there is not a Friday early option by itself. I’m wondering if it can be added as an option. For some attendees it’s a one day show, and it’s quite a jump from $25 to $60 (and not using the Saturday and Sunday pass). Additionally, many deals are made very early in this show (even in the hour where it’s dealers only) so early bird is the best option.

    if it doesn’t do anything for Saturday or Sunday why is it called a three day early bird membership? But more specifically then, can there be an early bird pass for just Friday? Currently choices are $25 for Friday or $60 for early bird (3 days of entry).
  13. manetteska
    Is it possible to add an option for early bird access for each day of the show?

    @Domo Arigato (if you are available) - Ignoring the video completely, two questions to help clarify ("educate"): 1. Do you believe there is shenanigans in the graded video game market? 2. Do you believe there is shenanigans in the graded comic market?

    Thanks. Stepping away from Wata, we have PWCC which has been in the news recently as well as private sales which are… interesting.

    Yes other collectible graded markets have gone up. How many have had a $2mm sale during this year-plus? Would be interesting to see the following markets by top price, item, date of sale, grading company, place of sale, etc since last January. Comics Video Games Sports Cards (or by sport) Magic Pokemon

    I always forget the breadth of Cook.

    Mask mandate not in effect until Monday.
  20. manetteska
    FYI - allegedly an indoor mask mandate announcement being made today. May be in effect for the show.

    What did you do as part of the Advisory Board? Do you know if they still have one now?
  22. manetteska
    Where there’s money there’s manipulation. Some people saw the Wata insider dealings two years ago but went mostly ignored.

    A Rally sighting!

    Random chase variants in packs — those silly sports card collectors.

    Now the Comics General is locked, is this the new place where I can go to: a). Make cliched jokes about /bi -sexuality b). Complain they are changing my favorite fictional character(s) c). Both A and B Not doing a lot to put those comic collector stereotypes to shame.
