Nice group of books. Are there any high grade X-men slabs left in the Metroplex after this one?

I noted that as well, leftovers? Always seemed an odd business model.

Very nice colors on both books--especially that #12. Congrats!

Congrats on the win, it's a great looking book!

My lone grab for the evening:

Great looking book. Presents very well.

It's all Magneto's fault!

Yeah, the boy is already planning on next year. "Make sure you clear your call schedule for next April," is what he told me last night.

Thanks, had no intention of grabbing anything other than the Avengers, but the Hulk was just calling my name!

Picked these up from Dale Roberts this weekend at the Indy Con. I know that the later books are outside of the SA cutoff, but they look damn good.

Ended up going on Saturday, was there from 9:15-4:00 with a break for lunch. Great crowd as the day went on, especially after noon. While I'll always want more comic sellers, there was a nice mix for all interests. Felt that the flow of people went well, but I admit my focus was just on the comic sellers' alley. Spent a lot of time at Dale's setup (hands down the best of the show) and came away with some great looking books. No reservation at all about attending next year.

Great job, now go find a raw mid-grade Avengers #3 for me and have it come back as a 9.2 like this one. I'll wait.

You know it would have been Spiderpurds or Parkerpurds.

Those east side Holiday Inn shows were pretty cool though.

Strong looking copy. Presents very well.

Very nice looking book, congrats!

Pretty much agree with the others regarding their approaches. Since I got back into collecting a few years ago, my main focus has been high grade SA Avengers. I'll occasionally go after a different book/title from the SA or rarely something from the GA, but then it's mostly something that randomly catches my eye--and usually at the mid-grade level.

The old label got you.

Thanks for the detailed report Robot Man! Killer looking wall photos.

My son, the Pop figure fan, and I almost hit up the Duncanville store yesterday for his monthly fix. Seeing their wall of figures at the show, might have been a good decision to wait until next week for a run. Sorry to hear about the drop-off in booth sales.

I did perk up when he pulled that Avengers 3 slab out though.

I'll give you $5 if you cosplay as Man Mountain Marko at the show in Indy.

I'd favor this one over the unboxing ones almost.

Great con report as usual, thanks!

Absolutely. I even gave the TPB to my father in law (who is a retired professor of Middle Eastern Studies) just because it's so powerful of a story.
