What is wrong with you?

The odds of CGC getting this right have to be extremely low.

Interesting

I was very tempted by this amazing King Ghidora statue. Don’t think I could have snuck this by the wife.

Yeah. Less pops (but still plenty) and shirts, but more weapons and Dungeons and Dragons stuff. And a ton of statues which I appreciate. But man, so many books.

They don't catch it because they don't check every book.

Holy carp. I've come a long way.

Surprised at the final price on this one. Seems low. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225757942112

I cried a little when I read that post.

That sounds terrible lol. Honestly I think in a lot of cities things can take a pretty drastic change in 5 blocks and which direction those blocks are in. Next year try get something right by the aquarium/fells point if you can (Pier 5 Hotel, Homewood Suites). A lot of the restaurants are right there anyway. We stayed at the Lord Baltimore hotel one year and it was a very nice hotel, but you had to make your way though some pretty big homeless sections.

Honestly I think the restaurants are fairly priced for being in a city. Nothing more than I am used to anyway. And definitely a good variety. I'm not sure where you stayed, but we always stay close to the aquarium and have never felt unsafe fairly late at night. I will say one year we stayed a few blocks out from there and it wasn't exactly the best experience getting from the hotel to any place else. This is the least crowded I remember in the last several years. We always go in right at opening on Saturday and usually know we only have a few hours before the aisles get really crowded. Not this year. It never got very crowded. And cosplay seemed to be way down. Way less scantily clad ladies than I remember. Awesome you had a good time!!!

Also, some people completely forget which booth they saw a particular book at and eventually give up.

Yes sir. I would have had zero interest if it didn't to be honest.

Pickups from Baltimore.

Picked these up in Baltimore.

This was the best thing I saw all day. Dog dressed like a Jedi carrying a lightsaber in his mouth.

And shout out to @shortboxed Always good conversation and an amazing wall to look at. And reasonably priced. He went out of his way to dig out a few books for me to look at.

Had a great time. It definitely never seemed to get too crowded on Saturday, which seems unusual. Usually by 1-2 it starts to get hard to get around and dig into boxes. Will post pictures of my pick ups later. Did get a chance to catch up with @Murphman13 and picked up a nice book with a Frazetta internal work.

I'll be on the hunt for low grade (like really low grade) Frazetta covers (Famous Funnies, Ghost Rider, etc)

Its not bad. Just under 2 hours for me in South Jersey. And no traffic since we head out very early - will be on the road by 6am. Honestly I would drive a lot further for a show this good.

Heading out early in the morning. Blue Moon Cafe for breakfast and then on to the show.

I'll be there. Who has a booth?

Who are you trying to convince?

Which is why the have such thorough QC to catch such errors......................
