I believe Reed and the Washington State convention officials had already talked about finding which dates they can host ECCC for summer. The one part I would not like is the chase in getting the 4 day pass, as they had increased the price for this pass (last year was about $149, I think) and that the type of pass tickets usually go gone very fast. I missed out on that this year, so I might have a second chance?

The other thing is they will have to reschedule the show for summertime. They now have about 3-4 months time to get media guests, vendors, etc on list to attend. That’s short notice ... I hope they do good in their jobs with all luck. The guests and vendors usually have their schedule planned ahead up to a year, not sure if ECCC will get the same ones?

I can’t recall a major con in past that have to do 3-4 months short term in scheduling everything again from a postponed show in the same year. 

Great points. IMO at this point instead of trying to pull this event together in the next 3-4 months (will the outbreak be any better or worse even), which is a huge endeavor, is to do a full on cancellation and put the resources together and go full steam ahead and plan for 2021. Vendors/guests/artists/celebs I image are all booked for the rest of the year at other con's and events. I would rather do that then have 40% of the talent, artists and vendors not there because they are at other cons. I get there are big dollars at stake and a boost to the local economy but how good can the show really be on such a short terms planning schedule? Just random thoughts. But I say cancel and get a huge head start on 2021. Hey we still have Rose City Comic Con in Sept.

Got a text message from my buddy told me ECCC was postponed until summer. I was surprised that they did that ... had to be a first that ECCC cancelled to postpone for later dates this year. Well, that is a good move to save this show.

 My questions is whatever Reed will honour the tickets many of you had gotten in mail for the later dates this summer? Or will we all get refunds back and start all over to purchase new tickets again?

CS told me refunds are being issued for tix/merch automatically within 30 days, tix received in the mail won't be honored and prob just trash at this point. When they have the date set this summer (hopefully) then they will put tix up and we go through the process again.

Prob a ton of work getting an event this size coordinated again for later this summer. Hopefully I can get a 4 day pass this time around and not have to buy tix for individual days again.

The show has been postponed until summer

Still no passes for me in today's mail.

Is offering a refund on tickets the first step in paving the way for a show cancellation even though its only a week out now? I gotta think they would have some sort of idea the amount of requests coming through for refunds coupled with artist/creator/vendor cancellations to have an idea to keep this thing going or not.

Still no badges in today's mail. They sure like to wait until the last minute

Reedpop is offering a refund to anyone not wishing to go due to the virus.  Looks like part of the conditions is returning badges that had been mailed out (makes sense).  I have not yet received my badges, has anyone else?

Note that the Seattle Times does sometimes use a paywall.

Wow a lot of vendors pulling out, major ones at that. Whats next? Not looking good. Glad they are offering refunds.

I haven't received my badges yet either though I haven't checked the mail today.

I am leaning towards throwing in the towel this year, I wonder how many vendors/creators/stars it will take before they cancel.

Serious? Do you think the risk is that high? Thats a lot of people, big crowds and close quarters. Honestly I am on the fence. All it takes is one to put the place on quarantine

Anybody think the show is in doubt? Would they cancel now that we are in a state of emergency because of the corona?

Its all good no prob. All paid up.

Final wall update for 2018.  Added FF 48, SS 1, and Thor 142 & 160

Love this look, clean lines, no clutter and the books pop, very nice. Minimal but super classy. I really like this setup.

What shelves are you using and where did you get them?

Seeing this thread, thought I would chime in on a little nostalgia from a MTG player and collector that got in early.....

Had a chance to buy the original artwork for Force Field for $800 back in the late 90's but I didn't have the money for it at the time, had to pass.

I used to own several MTG originals, mostly from the late 90's early 2000's when i was still playing. Mostly land originals as i thought those were the coolest looking at the time. Plus I owned an original with some furry beast or monster in a tree, can't remember the name of it. Reminded me of the Guardian Beast card.

I originally purchased Terese Nielsen's island original back in 2001/2002'ish (can't remember the set it was from, still have my signed cards from her though) I believe it was the only land card she has done besides the guru lands. I think I paid $600-$700 for it at the time which I was younger and not making a ton of money at the time and put it on the credit card.

Sold off all my cards, including the power 9 and all my art when I got out of MTG in the mid 2,000's so I could put a down payment on a house.

Now, $1,500 for unlimited mox pearl and $4,000-$5,000 for alpha/beta mox pearl is disgusting crazy money. I mean thats some ridiculous money. $2,000 for an Ancestral Recall is freaking bananas. In 2011/2012 Ancestral Recall was a $300-$400 card slightly played, i know because i had an extra one I found and flipped. I thought i did good at the time Ha!

I also lived near the Seattle area around the late 90's early 2000's and WotC had a shop/tournament/arcade/hang out place on The Ave in the U-district i would go there and hang out all day and night and play with people and play in the occasional tourney. High end cards were so cheap back then. I bought a moderate to heavily played Timetwister for $35 there from another player. Same guy had a mox sapphire for $75.

I also remember playing MTG back in 1994, pulled a lotus out of an unlimited starter pack. Very cool. I also remember paying $6 for unlimited mox ($10 for alpha or beta) at my local comic shop and $12 for black lotus. Timetwister $7 and dual lands $4, I had 2 shops in the area with similar prices, gotta love pre-widespread internet days. My times have changed.

Drbearsec  is a legend, fantastic transaction. A+++ thanks again.

Roiland was doing them on onsite.  The witness does not need to witness the sketch being done they just need to be there when you pick it up from the artist. 

Great thank you for the info.

Justin was charging $40 a signature, and $100 a sketch w signature at Rhode Island CC. 

So how does this work with a CGC SS yellow label? I am not too familiar with the process, you still need to have a witness with you correct? Was/is Roiland doing sketches on site, or were they pre-done beforehand?

I remember visiting Kevin Eastman in 2015 and he had done a bunch of blank sketches before his appearance in his hotel, will a CGC witness still recognize this action as a legit yellow label if he/she didn't actually witness the sketch but came from the creator anyways? Like the example with Eastman doing them before in his hotel? Seems like such a gray area when it comes to this. Or maybe its just me.

Prices on CGC sketch for Roiland have come down quite a bit.

Stuff dating back to October was in the $500-$700 range.

Now stuff is in the $200-$300 depending if Harmon is on there too or if they are colored.

He was at Rhode Island comic con recently, so maybe those are starting to show up now?

Ya you are right could be. I just wasn't sure he was doing sketches. I know he wasn't at the Fan Expo in Canada because he was way too busy, but maybe RI wasn't as busy.

I hope prices come down some, would love one but I am only in at about $200

Tons of Roiland sketch SS have popped up on the bay in the last couple of weeks. The bay is flooded now. Prices are high even with the sheer volume of available issues, not much selling.

Did Roiland do a private sketch signing or something? Wondering where all of these came from all of a sudden.

The Nintendo Power variant is an awesome cover, but I agree that $300 for a 9.8 is a bit too pricey. 

For what it’s worth the staff at the Oni booth informed me that the last two R&M convention blanks Oni has released have had print runs in the ballpark of 1100-1300. 

I’m not saying the Nintendo Power variant also has a print run of 1000+, just thought it may be of some help to know a few other R&M con variant print runs they have released. 

Good info on the blanks, thanks. It seems to me that they seem to keep the con variants between 1000-1500. The Last Of Us variant was 1500.

I missed out on the #30 blank and the Nintendo variant when they went on sale on Oni's site. Oh well can't have it all.

I hope prices dip a bit. There are still a few earlier issues I would love to get my hands one.

I would also love to pick up the R&M: PLYSI #1 Nintendo Power variant. Anybody know the print run on this one? $300 is pricey.

Snagged my 4 day pass as well, I am stoked!

Ill be there for sure.
