Sadly, no pics from this show. I arrived at the show a bit later than I wanted and finding my booth added another 15 mins at least. Once the show opened -- similar to previous shows at this location -- the line was halted as the fire marshal said the venue hit capacity and wouldn't let more people in until others left. It didn't feel over-crowded but there was definitely congestion along the sides and certain aisle intersections. With the late start and constant traffic, I wasn't able to get out much to look around or buy. One purchase (two great looking Zatanna 15s) happened as I walked past a booth during load-in. I have no idea how they lasted that long. The other purchase (some Danger Girl stuff at a good price) was at the end when things died down a bit. I did see a Startling Terror Tales 11 that I looked at a few times; if it was attached at just one staple (and the price adjusted accordingly) it would be mine. For me, wall books were selling briskly; may have had to with the "get 'em outta here" prices I had them at. Sold books I marked down: X-Men 101 Power Girl 4 Guillem variant x2 (these went fast) Detective Comics 411 Amazing Spider-Man 361 New Mutants 87 King Size Hulk 1 (these always sell fast for me) Savage Wolverine 6 Campbell variant Nightmare 12 x2 Eternal Warrior 4 x2 (had one up and it sold quickly; put up the other and it also sold almost immediately) I have a feeling some great finds were made at the show but personally I had to crack down and focus on selling. I came with 12 shorts and left with 9 1/2. Hoping to take my $1 boxes and sell them cheap/quickly on CraigsList to free up some more space. Another great local show, though again I wonder (and spoke with a couple other vendors about) how Wisconsin has a show just about every weekend but zilch when it comes to Chicago. We have the 2 big ones but none of these smaller "hotel conference room" shows.

Tomorrow bump!

Seller refused to give a price and refused to disclose/admit the rust clearly shown in his pictures. I offered a price based on the rust I could see and someone else offered more.

There is a pence version I can make an offer on but don't know where to start. Perhaps I'll pressure the seller to make the first move and see where it goes. Thanks!

Yeah, I would assume foreign price would be lower -- following the same pattern as superhero fare -- but didn't know if the "Baker effect" impacted the disparity, closing the gap a bit.

Let's say a Baker comic is valued at $100; what is the value of its pence equivalent?

Thanks. I noticed there is a similar copy running at auction right now; I'll be watching that one closely.

1 raw please.

But the sword is different in one of them.

What was the other comic?

It seems like the USPS (or at least tracking) is out to get you. I had an expensive package "disappear" for 3 days until I opted to get text updates; magically showed up the next day. What is going on over there?

Sold via PM. Thanks everyone.

I like this one, too. The flashlight beam span seems to be a common GA theme; looks great here.
