Overall, I enjoyed the pilot. A bit unsteady as to how they rushed Katy's discovery of the Batcave and it's equipment.

Makes no sense to open a comic store if you have no inventory or personal collection worth at least $50,000++ to roll into the shop to start it up. Might as well open up a DVD rental shop and get crushed by Netflix and streaming. Seriously, why don't you set up your own bi-monthly Pop Culture comicon out of the largest hall (gym, community center, hotel ballroom, church) you can rent that hopefully includes the 8' or 6' dealer's tables and chairs onsite? On the weekends in between, I recommend you sell at other local collectible shows, Sunday flea markets and mail order online.

Yes, the Edmonton and Calgary Expos are once a year and have much higher attendance and vendor participation than Fan Expo Vancouver.

Pretty beat Amazing Fantasy 15.
aardvark88 replied to DougthePug's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Main advantage of PH neutral chemical wash is the magic tape on spine could be lifted else tape adhesive would eat away at AF #15. -

A professional PH neutral chemical wash will lift soot and reduce staining of your covers. Should still be able to get u a blue label CGC. Restoration is pieces added, trimming, color touch. -

Have the covers dipped into a chemical wash by a pro to reduce the tape staining, cleaned and pressed into a 1.5, as long as all pages there. -

aardvark88 replied to Cat-Man_America's topic in Golden Age Comic Books

Each table comes with two (2) dealer's badges and is economical at $60 plus GST for the entire 2.5 day event (not per day). There is 4' of space behind the table so a vertical wall rack may be erected to display your comics, mags, photos, sports cards and memorabilia. Loading zone is flat through the gates to the ground level convention floor. The early bird deadline of October 1, 2019 for this reduced vendor rate is fast approaching so please pmail me ASAP, if you have an interest or hockey cards to sell there.
