What I meant is by the time customers finish going through my $3 boxes they usually end up spending at least $20-$25.

Is already been pointed out earlier and I totally agree, first you need a wall. My reason is that i don't want keys or semi keys in Excellent condition being handled in a box by someone who is rough and not concerned as to how they handle keys day a book with a really difficult dark cover that shows stress lines easily. And people will be more likely to at least stop and view what you have, at that point if they show interest in a specific book you may be able to suggest other items in your table boxes that might also appeal to them and generate additional sales. Lastly, I have found my best area of sales at shows lately to be my bosses that are priced at $3 each or 2 for $5. These boxes I fill with anything valued from $5-$25 whether it's Silver, Bronze or Modern but it's usually slow moving stuff. I find the average sale is usually $20-$25 and all I have to do is keep refilling the boxes as new shows come up. As I stated at the beginning a lot of what I have written has been said already and from what I have read you really couldn't get any better advice than you can from this room full of experts that most have tried every method saleswise and willing to share with you. Kudo to all for helping out a fellow dealer!

I'll take amazing #28

Here's one I've been meaning to post but never got around to it. This was my first ever commission obtained by Doug Peters back in 2014. It took Sparacio awhile to complete but it was well worth the wait! Enjoy

Neal actually signed it this weekend while at the Amazing Las Vegas Vegas Con, just above the Muhammad Ali in silver ink

Mark Sparacio Black Cat!

Ben waiting for awhile to get Neal Adams on this beauty!

Just be patient and persistent. It's the thrill of the hunt that excites and motivates me. There are still tons of heat books to be found. You may need to develop new strategies in order to be successful, but that's a small sacrifice to make if you're able to breathe new life into your collecting. Search in new places you'll be surprised what will turn up

Great books, I have to step away for awhile but will check back soon to see what else you have.

I'll take this one also

I'll take this one also

I'll take captain marvel 25

ok thanks

I'll take #148 & #164

hey are those extra staples on the back covers of 145, 149, 152 & 156?

Awesome thread, Thank you for sharing your great Howler Books!

I have a real problem believing this to be real. Those of us that know and collect Kirby art/comics can spot it a mile off. I have a problem with the shield and his fist for starters. Those were definitely not drawn by the king. Just my 2 cents

I'll take Avengers #102 & Incredible Hulk #161

Yes you are correct on the #132

I'll also take X-men #133.

X-men #131 I'll take that one also!

X-men #131 I'll take it!

geoffdude, my 2 cents on the topic of dealers working deals with each other. I speak from experience as both a dealer and collector/customer on this subject. I have also been selling at this show since the first time Terry told me about his intent to host it. I like a great many people dealers, collector's boardies and so on have been dealing with Terry to be specific since way before this show began. I'm more of a small time dealer that really started at the Shrine show 20 years ago and the first guy to approach me was Terry O'Neil. I had a lot of Silver Age Comics that I was selling and this guy bought my entire booth on the spot. Yes, there are deals to be made and if it involves a book that has a high price tag you have to expect a dealer to smooze a little more in order to secure a good deal/price. For the most part I usually wait until a dealer is not so busy if I just want to shoot the breeze because to be honest I'm usually not looking to purchase a high priced book unless it really is to my advantage. These guys lay out quite a bit of cash for the collections they bring to market and it really helps when they can recoup some of their investment asap. I've met a lot of great people in this hobby/business but I'm patient and realize that sometimes I may not have access to someone when I want to talk to them and just come back when they are not busy. I hope you continue to enjoy the hobby and make a ton of friends as I have for life.

I believe Amethyst, Princess of Gem World would be an instant hit with the young girls. Possibly as popular as Sailor Moon.
