  1. Lost 6 others, but won this lone book. Quite happy
  2. Getting confusing with 2 separate Cal Comic Con threads to follow Posted some pics from the weekend over here:
  3. Some wall books and action shots from the day. Amazing con, best one of the year, every year. Had so much fun meeting boardies! If you're on Instagram, have more pics "@shortboxed"
  4. Some pics I snapped during the preview day swap. That's me in the black t-shirt behind the table. If you're on Instagram, have more pics "@shortboxed"
  5. Does anyone need a 4-day pass? I've got 2 that I don't need anymore. Available at cost. Shoot me a DM.
  6. Here's my haul. To say I'm happy is a quite an understatement
  7. That wasn't my perception at all! There are A LOT of younger collectors out there, and I felt like they were pretty well represented in Yorba Linda from my experience at the show. There's a very active community of younger collectors outside of these boards, and a lot of them were in that long line to get in. With that said, I had an absolutely amazing time - it truly is the best comics-only show. I met a lot of awesome collectors (including boardies), both young and old -Gene (I'm in my 30s if anyone's wondering)
  8. Will be at El Torito in the bar at 7:30pm for whoever wants to join!
  9. I believe the answer is no, but would like confirmation on this! They do list CC and HA.
  10. So who's in for drinks at 7:00pm at El Torito after the buy/sell/trade meetup from 3:30-6:30pm? Last year's meetup was a lot of fun! Probably had one too many margaritas. Here's a map for those who can't find El Torito right across the parking lot
  11. The monthly "Focused" auctions have a mix of books, lots of mid-tier mixed in with some nice stuff in between. The "Featured" auctions happen quarterly (I think) and that's when they bring out the primo books. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
  12. Anyone bringing GA books to sell or trade on Saturday during Terry's meetup? 3:30-6:30pm at the hotel. Followed by drinks at El Torito at 7pm. See ya'll there!
  13. El Torito bar at 7:00pm on Saturday night, right after Terry's meetup at the hotel from 3:30-6:30pm on Saturday.
  14. Had a great time! Met a lot of boardies, and grabbing beers at Triple Rock was a blast - will def do it again at the May show. Here's a pic from Triple Rock and my haul. Let's see what everyone got! In the photo are @ThatPovGuy @jpepx78 and myself, along with a few guys from the Instagram community.
  15. Can't wait! Looks like it'll be a great show. If you see me, please say hi - I'll be easy to find in a black t-shirt with SHORTBOXED right across the front. A couple folks already DM'd me about joining the post-con meetup at Triple Rock Brewery at 5:00pm. Everyone is welcome and you can come and go as you please - it'll be super casual. Drop me a comment or shoot a DM if you'd like to join so I can keep a rough headcount for the reservation. Cheers!
  16. This is awesome! My buddy and I will be joining. Afterwards, El Torito (right next to the hotel) at 7pm for margaritas!
  17. What are the issue numbers for all the Matt Baker covers? I can't make them out in the photo. Thanks in advance!
  18. Looking forward to Saturday! And just a reminder, we got a group reservation at Triple Rock Brewery just a couple blocks away from the con at 5:00pm. Open to any boardies who want to hang out after the con and grab some beers! Just drop a comment or DM me so I can keep a headcount and adjust the reservation, if necessary. Super casual, come and go as you please. Hopefully some of the dealers can make it after they break down, too! Can't wait to see your hauls! triplerock.com
  19. Who's down to meet up after the con and grab some beers? We can show off our hauls and chat comics - would be great to meet more boardies in person. I got a reservation for 8 people at Triple Rock Brewery at 5:00pm Sat 1/20, just a couple blocks away from the venue (see attached map). If considerably more people show up, then they said they can move us out to the patio, weather permitting. This is super casual and open to anyone who wants to hang out and grab beers after, you can come and go as you please. Drop a comment here or DM me if you want to join so I can keep an accurate headcount and increase the reservation or try to get the patio, if needed. I'll be at the con wearing a SHORTBOXED t-shirt, so say hello if you see me. http://www.triplerock.com/
