    In the advertised packages that will take up most of his day, the limit is 3 items per ticket. 

    He'll be doing a public signing in the late afternoon but it will be limited to 1 item per person, if the time permits, he'll let people run through the line a second time.

    He is listed as being there Saturday and Sunday, but the package is just for Saturday.  Will he not be signing then on Sunday?  Sorry for the questions just want clarification.

    I went Friday. It was slammed compared to the last two Fridays that I have attended. Skipped today, but should be there tomorrow. I was super disappointed that every place I hit in the first couple hours on Friday said they had sold lots of GA books to other dealers before the show opened. Suck to pay entry only to have the best stuff poached. 

    I completely understand your frustration.  I gave one dealer a slight discount like I would any other customer and a couple others I told them it was the price marked on the book.  One guy had about $200 worth of comics and offered me $100 for them. . . . they went back in the boxes . . .

    Onsite drop off and grading was a nightmare. 4.5 hour waits.  Had to carry a ton of books around while I waited 3.5 hours in virtual line hell after waiting an hour to register in line.  This is after doing all the pre reg online.  Just awful customer experience.

    I went Sunday morning as I figure it woudl be slow, but I got stuck in Katie Cook's line.  When I got there at about 11:30 they said it was an hour wait.  I decided to forgo it and do it another time . . . oh well.

    I spoke with Planet Comicon and I was informed that CGC will be there at the event.

    I am pretty sure that CGC will not be there officially.  Rather @Par2ch and One Stop Comic Shop will be there to facilitate CGC submissions.  This is also how it is listed in the exhibitor listings.

    C2E2 good for back issue hunting?

    Never been to C2E2, but I'm probably going this year.  The biggest con I've been to is Baltimore and quite honestly it was a little meh. 

    I'll say that I could care less about guests, cosplay, etc. I only go for one reason: to buy comics. 

    I've had a lot of luck with smaller cons in my home state (Ohio) and gotten a ton of filler for runs and smaller bronze/silver keys as well.  I was disappointed with the number of actual comic vendors,  the amount of stock, and the prices at Baltimore's con last uear.

    Anyone who has been to both, am I in for a similar experience in Chicago? My fear is that it's more of a pop culture con and will be filled with more toy/memoribilia/etc vendors vs actual comic vendors. 

    I know that buying online usually results in better prices,  but there's something special about  being there in person and digging through long boxes. Call me old school.  Ive got some mostly non-key silver and bronze DD, Hulk, Strange Tales, Tales of Suspense and WBN runs to finish off. I'll probably go regardless since I've got a free place to stay, but I'd like an unbiased review of the con so I can set my expectations going in! 

    Comics 4 Less will have a lot of stuff there to dig through - Pete is a good guy too.

    Well they announced officially that Steranko will be there.  Funny as he was listed as an exhibitor for a month . . . 

    Going to try and see what sketches he brings and hope to pick one up.  Would like a Captain America, but if anything will grab his Nick Fury at least.

    I guess the two I was most surprised to not be noted on social media were Babs Tarr, Stephanie Hans and Daniel Warren Johnson.

    But there were some other names I recognized that I'm sure have a lot of fans that would have at least showed up as comic guests: David Mack, Guillory, Elias Chatzoudis, and Sabine Rich.

    I know these people aren't Frank Miller/Jim Lee big, but they are recognizable names.

    Yeah I find them not announcing David Mack a little weird.  Daniel Warrne Johnson's current book Murder Falcon is AMAZING!!!
