I have seen them set up and they seem nice and have a good reputation - I have just never bought anything from them . . . 

Bedrock is great.  Gator always has amazing stuff. Dale Roberts. Leroy Harper.  Harley.  Honestly it all depends on the day. Whoever has the book I'm looking for is my favorite!

It's one of the tougher ones maybe because a lot of us love that cover. I have seen several lower grade copies pop up on the bay recently though. As a matter of fact, there is one up now.

They certainly have been available more recently compared to last year, but you're right on the LOW grade part.  The last decent one that was on my radar I finished the race in 2nd place

Mailman brought me one of my favorite Feldstein covers today! Haunt of Fear #4 with an added bonus...

Nice score! I've been chasing this issue for awhile, as I share your love of the cover.  One of his best! 

Yeah! Looking forward to it!  This show is always good for us.  Hope to see lots of folks at the show! 

I hit their page over the weekend and wasn't wowed with what I saw. Which is kinda bumming me out since I can get a pretty cheap flight out that weekend!

They have added Jim Starlin and Mark Bagley . . .  we will see who else they announce.

I'm VERY excited for Bagley! Not that you didn't already know that.

If we’re talking cons in the Midwest that may be a while...

Yeah.  It's pretty sparse here in the flyover this year.  Don't they know us hill and plains people have money to spend on comic book grading and encapsulation as well???

I think this is the first year I have heard of CGC not being there.  They must all be at Wonder Con

It's making my Planet experience considerably cheaper! I'll just wait until the next convention I go to that CGC is setup at. More funds available to pick up collections and good deals at the show this way. 

From what I see on Facebook, they've got JRSR on lock down.  I would love to get some JRSR signatures, but am hesitant to go through DWC.

You know I'm going to put together a Fish and Chips party the night before!

2018 was a fun year for buying, and my collecting focus continued to evolve (and often get off course). It is difficult to narrow it down to just three, so I cheated a bit, but even then I could have listed a few more books.

Journey Into Mystery #2: I missed this book by seconds the first time it auctioned on Comiclink (somehow I mis-set my phone alarm for the snipe  ) but I got it the second time around. I may have overpaid, but it isn't often that I see my name written on covers.

JIM #35 and 75: I will never miss an opportunity to buy a White Mountain pre-hero Marvel that I can actually afford! Shout out to @gregreece for working with me on the #75.

Marvel Tales #93: This is an upgrade to my previous 3.0. I love the cover and the significance of the book.

@mysterio Your under copy of MT93 wasn't exactly hard on the eyes! Congrats on a good year sir! Looking forward to catching up with you in a couple of months!

I messaged OAF to see if they have an idea on 2019 dates.  we can make it. 

Don't be shy with those dates when you get them! 

I'll vote for the first one of the two I'm able to acquire.  With that in mind, my vote may be outstanding for a significant amount of time.

Pftttt...I'm a reptile enthusiast and I turn rocks and other stuff looking for critters.  I see lots of scorpions, but they don't bother you if you don't bother them.  The last time i got a scorpion sting was when I lived in CA and accidentally washed one that had crawled into my pants.  The dead scorpion stung me when I put them on.  LOL  It didn't even hurt as much as a bee sting. 

It's also nice to drive around AZ and NOT have to wash your windshield every hour due to smashed bugs on it. Yes, I've been to Florida many times...the only good months are February and March.

I also like Missouri D Stuart...but only in April and early May.  You can have your chiggars...and all the other no-see-ems in your woods...

Indeed! The ticks have just been awful the last several years.  Hope this winter is particularly brutal to knock them back a bit.

CGC’s current schedule does not have them setting up at Planet this year...

I saw that. I feel like they're usually slower to get Planet on the schedule than some of the other larger shows.

That's the nice thing about AZ...no earthquakes (except around Yuma), no hurricanes, no tornadoes, no humidity, and no fires in the desert...only heat 6 months of the year (and you can escape that by going to the mountains and jumping in a trout stream). 

Yeah... but SCORPIONS. 

@G.A.tor We've only met a couple of times, but I was just able to read about your experience over the last couple of weeks and I wanted to say how sorry I am for what you and your family and neighbors have had to endure. I know that these are just words piled on top of weeks of other words, but I'm sending my best vibes your way sir.  

Putting out some feelers for a low grade Crime Patrol 16.  Preferably beat but complete.  Open to restored/married copies as well. Shoot me a message if you've got a spare or an under-copy floating around. Thanks!
