    If your car gets inspected at USA border and you have prepared a CGC invoice, please make sure the return to address is in Canada or a USA border town that way the inspectors know your comics are being returned to you after slabbing, and not being consigned for an auction right away on the Eastcoast USA. I am not sure if ComicLink has a booth at ECCC but I think they used to. Never saw Metro/Comic Connect at ECCC.

    Biljo White and Ronn Foss contributed to expanding early comic fandom via Alter Ego zines:

    Just a few other origin issues to collect like Kid Colt #79 (Atlas, 1958) and Two-Gun Kid #48 (Atlas, 1959):

    I used to think summer of 1989 was a glut when I saw a long box full of Batman year 3 parts 1-4 with nice Perez covers and decent Pat Broderick art but too common so they usually go in $1 bin.

    DD #1 buyer is a relatively younger Asian collector not named greggy.

    Is any of this tv series based on Grant Morrison's writing at all from Doom Patrol volume 2?

    If ECCC vendor does not have a receipt book, then I recommend they hand-write a receipt on the back of their business card that has their phone # or email on it. Did anyone else shop at FEV this weekend? My DD #1 is on hold so sale pending Sunday:

    J. LeBlanc picked up a 10k copy comic collection that he is breaking down at FEV. It included a couple of signed John Byrne DC Generations published OA panel pages plus an unsigned Byrne Generations OA panel page. He sold a signed(?) Byrne Generations OA page with nice Batman panels for $300 loonies. Lots of young creative independent press in artist alley including Vancouver's uber talented painter/illustrator Camilla de Ricco and many new artists like: Overall there were fewer vendors than last year. Did not see Big Pete, as he was just vending at last week's PNE Forum con. The Tower of T-shirts appeared to be missing too but we have London Drugs again. This is my summary for greggy, Flatliner1313 and others in the Vancouver, BC area. Have a sunny weekend.

    1st 3 sigs from Art Adams are free. Liam Sharp signing for free. Liam doing pencil head sketches for $100, full body pencil sketch on 11" x 17" bristol board for $200, or $300 if illo is inked. Can you get a discount? Yes, Art Adams, Joyce Chin and Liam Sharp usually charge $20 US for their prints but generously only charged $20 loonies at FEV. Writer Steve Englehart was charging $5 US/sig or 3 comics signed for $20 loonies. More Cdn Comics.net:

    I saw 2 empty, lonely booths that probably would have been occupied by Harley Yee who, I believe, is still relaxing in Hawaii this weekend. More Cdn Comics.net:

    Jigglypig Chad offered his vast assortment of $2 back issues. I think Canadian Comics.net had 4(?) booths:

    Nice Game of Thrones iron/sword throne was there plus Jurassic Park jeep prop:

    Local TV storyboard artist John Gallagher was selling his prints and signing them too:

    Art Suydam had at least 2 booths to display his prints. Thank you Fan Expo for generously expanding the FEV booths from 8' x 8' to full size 10' x 10'.

    Thanos88 made an offer on Anthill's werewolf original art page drawn by a Philippine artist (not pictured):

    Anthill Books and Comics had 2 scarce Matt Baker romance comics hiding in his bin at $2,400 each:

    Cool, brisk, sunny weekend in Vancouver for Fan Expo:

    Seems like most comic vendors are lined up in a row from booths 207, 208 to 211 (Canadian Comics.net) except for Jigglypig Chad and Anthill Books and Comics at island # 511. I will be lining up to get a few choice comics hopefully signed by Art Adams and writer Stv Englehart:

    I think I saw the back of greggy's head in these pics: Feb. 24, 2019 Van Comic Show pics

    Similar article reviewing the Van Comic Show was also in the Province newspaper from Monday.

    Was this a warehouse dealer from north Langley? He picked up that collection of SA GL's and mixed copper, modern long boxes about 6 weeks ago.
  22. aardvark88
    Nice wide rows made it easier for those in wheel chair or baby stroller to get around the Van Comic Show. Here is Vancouver Sun page A6 article and pics about the show and ASM #1 low grade asking $8,500 Cdn funds: Vancouver Sun Feb. 25, 2019 pics

    I believe that early Madhouse may be the 4th app. of Sabrina. Pretty scarce SA comic. That collector who had his storage unit robbed of all his comics also spoke to me, and the Brothers that promoted the PNE forum con. I don't think he had a specific list of the many long boxes of comics stolen though. Thank you @Black_Adam for being a shrewed purchaser of semi-key bronze, SA and GA comics from me and a good negotiator. Attendance was solid as there was a steady line up for 90 mins. straight with 2 persons selling admission tix and receiving Food Bank donations. Even at 2 p.m., there were still fresh customers streaming in through the front door. I think 1 of the ATM bank machines ran out of loot and the other ATM had to be repaired by about 3 p.m. Overall, my retail sales were about 20% above my average boosted by purchases from loyal Forumites. I will be vending at annual(?) Knights Comics and Collectibles Expo next on Sat. Apr 13, 2019. St. Thomas More Collegiate is fundraising to upgrade their library so my buddy and I wish to support them. Good cross-promotion by their Teachers' Association and eSports contest partnership. new pop culture Burnaby expo Sat. Also there is an inaugural Father's Day comic con in the Abbotsford Matsqui community hall: new Abbotsford comic con Sun. June 16, 2019
