Terry’s California Comic Con 2018
shortboxed replied to Ricksneatstuff's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I don't know last year's exact numbers, but in 2015 it was around 380 paid attendees so I'm guessing the last two years have been at least that. -
Beautiful copy!

Yeah, like me! -
ECCC is my favorite con outside of SDCC. Lots of great dealers and comic book creators. But it's also a great con overall in terms of content and programming. I fly up from San Francisco to attend every year.

Terry’s California Comic Con 2018
shortboxed replied to Ricksneatstuff's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
This is what we did last year. Some guys showed up a bit early and grabbed the large table in the middle at the bar. Started at 7:00pm. If everyone's cool with this plan then we should just stick to it. Sat 1/27 7:00pm at the El Torito bar. -
Terry’s California Comic Con 2018
shortboxed replied to Ricksneatstuff's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Last year there was a boardie meetup at El Torito right next door to the hotel, just walk across the parking lot. Had a lot of fun meeting boardies, chatting comics, and having a few too many margaritas. I would suggest the same since most people traveling in are staying at the hotel. -

shortboxed replied to *paull*'s topic in Golden Age Comic Books
2017 was the year I started collecting L.B. Cole and I'm looking forward to collecting more Cole in 2018 (and beyond). Here are all the Cole books I picked up this year. -

I'm in my early 30s but close enough. I'll take the compliment I'm very fortunate to have a good job in tech, so that's what I do. I primarily collect GA but of course I'll still pick up any SA/BA books that catch my fancy, I just prefer going after GA. No secret to it, I simply buy books if I feel like I'm getting good value - I haggle just as hard over a $100 book as I do a $1,000 book. As far as the original topic, whenever I meet any comic collectors I just assume they are casual fans who enjoy comics - it's very rare to actually meet a collector as deep into the hobby as I am (that's why I chat with folks here on the boards or on Instagram). Just try to find a common ground on something that you both can enjoy talking about. For me that usually means chatting about current runs, as I still regularly pull from my LCS weekly in addition to collecting vintage books.

L.B. Cole cover thread! Post your favorites by the master!
shortboxed replied to *paull*'s topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Interesting, re: warehouse find. That's probably where my 9.2 came from, since it's not a pedigree. Any more details? -

Had a fun time, as usual! Here's my haul. Pretty sure I snagged every L.B. Cole in the room, all 4 of them. -
