I'm seeing lots of 9.2, 9.4 and 9.6 books being sold as a Buy It Now on Ebay for way less than the $120 signature cost. I still don't understand why so many people sent their books off unless they had a real shot at a 9.8 on a key, rare book like #300, #301, etc. CGC really marketed the heck out of this event.

Im hoping to get a spawn 1 that way ..someone who hates the grade and wants to get rid of it 

Just saw the new cgc ig  post hope that Batman 423 8.0 isn’t mine ..was hoping for higher grade 

does anyone know if go through ccs ..do they reuse your bag and board for the signing or do they put in in their yellow bag and board .  Thanks

My books just left ccs so says the credit card ..12/5/2022

Well my 12/16/21 just went g/e/I

Though I would share this as it might give someone hope.  I have been selling on eBay for 20+ years . I have never won a eBay return case . There haven’t been many, but that changed today.  The buyer was denied due to abuse of the eBay return policy .  The bonus was they return the item then found out they lost .  So I kept the item and got my money . So maybe eBay is going to finally start helping sellers more , doubt it but I’ll take this win

Well my 12/16/21 just went g/e/I 

Thanks for all the replies !

Can someone tell me when do they bill for the signings ? It’s been while since I have done one .  When it’s received or the grading ? Thanks 

Thanks for looking ..closed

Come on. What they said was a smoke screen to save face. No one wants to admit they couldn’t secure enough dealers to fill the room. And the “guests” were a ploy to sell more tickets.

I went to the first one too. It was epic and he knocked it out of the park with perfect timing. Expanding to a 2 then 3 day show and adding guests was a mistake. He lost his way and diluted his original intent. It was strictly and vintage comic buying and selling show for those such as myself who were tired of all the crowds, expense and non comic centric activities at SDCC.

I went one day last time. I spent a boatload of money, socialized with buddies I rarely get to see and did it all in one day easily.

I think he was a victim of his own success. 

Yes just like terry shows ..perfect 1 day shows. He just missed on this which happens in business . I know he and his team are smart enough to comeback strong when the time is right

I don't disagree with anything you're saying, but that is not what Torpedo Comics has said, they played this off as if there was a conflict with the venue schedule. 

 

I also think they grew too big too fast. There was nothing wrong with a one day show that didn't have a ton of ticket price options, I think the first one I went to was $10 and it was a great show. They didn't need to grow it to a three day show. 

Correct about the reason given. John has been doing this along time . I’m sure there was an out clause with a small financial loss but had to used by a certain day. 
 

As far as a 2 day shows during non Covid years maybe. What I saw at Wondercon and Phoenix con the west coast big shows are in trouble until things clear up.  One day local shows in small venues will be the way to go for everyone 

I don’t think it was double booked ..just poor ticket sales ..a lot local people that I know weren’t going ..airfare etc isn’t cheap anymore

Thank you for providing that feedback! From my perspective as a vendor for the first show, the foot traffic was GREAT! I genuinely didn't have a moment to sit down until about an hour before the advertised end time of the show (and even then I still had a few people digging well past 3pm).

Free parking and free entry = more money for comic books!

Same here …wasn’t sure if it was going to be like the upland shows or the ones that card shop in Placentia puts on….it was a well run show 

It was a great show ..lots of people and books ..from modern to gold ..very easy parking and free!

Jeff is definitely a character.  The place is the weirdest comic book shop I've ever visited.  Either the owner birds are squawking like crazy, him constantly smoking weed, or him blasting his radio to off the neighbors next door.   

Yes that happens all the time ..he almost 70 so change is something he isn’t doing

I don't know about that.  He told me once that one of his trusted customers ripped off a bunch of his higher dollar books.

The guy did ..he took My spider-man 14 that I had on layaway at the time plus many other high dollar books ..the guy has bad luck …few months ago they rob the store at night .
