Friday only for me this year. Do we know which boardies are setting up at the con? I know Dale Roberts is on the list. Art (Monster's Lair) already said he won't be setting up this year. Help me make my list of must stops so I can give some boardies my money.

I will be set up and @D Stuart will be as well.  I know @mysterio will not be able to make Planet, but his brother should be there.  

Also in look at the exhibitor list Jim Steranko is listed?  I might need to shoot David a message?
 

@Kevin Boyd

In doing some research and looking at various forums it looks as though some attendees noted that he will only sign certain items, has a limit, or will not allow signatures to be witness hence grade.  There seems to be some variation between some of these accounts.  That said is there anyway you could confirm what the "rules" will be for him.

I will becoming down for this con from the Kansas City area to attend this con so it would be nice to know beforehand so I can plan accordingly.

I’ve heard that Byrne will only sign his current project, which I believe is a Star Trek graphic novel. No exceptions. Maybe/hopefully this changes, but I’m skeptical it will. 

That kind of sucks . . . . I mean you bring in a great legend

NICE!!!

Some nice stuff!!!!

I'm not sure what you would gain by deslabbing it. Not only would you have wasted your money on the submissionsure but you would probably find the centerfold is indeed detached. Now whether it was married from a different book or not, it doesn't really make a difference, not really a big deal. I don't think the reference to married mattered in the grade and I don't think it will affect the valuation of the book should you decide to sell it. It seems to annoy you but I don't think anything will be accomplished by cracking it open.  

Yeah I think it is just annoying that it a back with a married centerfold, when I was almost positive that it wasn't.   Oh well . . . 

They have added Jim Starlin and Mark Bagley . . .  we will see who else they announce.

I don't think the married cover came into play for the grade. He stated the centerfold was detached.

Correct it was just the centerfold and not the cover.  I have looked at the notes and that is all it gives me.

I am really perplexed on this one and am actually thinking of cracking it to get a better look.

Not sure if this is where this belongs, but here is the story

I sent in a very low grade copy of Superman Vol. 1 #7 to be graded with a detached cover, first wrap and centerfold, and the cover split and reattached with tape.  It is indeed a low grade copy and came back 1.0 grade, which I am completely fine with and expected.   I bought this from the son of an original owner, who lives here in town that I have several mutual friends with whose father read the heck out of these as a kid and even as a teenager.  The issue is it came back as having a married centerfold.  I am sure there are a variety of scenarios where this could have happened, but I am almost positive that the centerfold was not married and none of the other books had this issue.

Has anyone else had a similar issue or maybe was there something I missed in detecting a married centerfold. 

I am little perplexed by this one.

I saw some great sketches on FB that people got at the con.  Hope to make it down next year and a little sad I could not get there.  Al Milgrom is on my list so hopefully our paths with cross in the future.

Sorry to hear you have to let this go, but indeed a nice run!!

This weekend! Looking forward to checking it out on Saturday.

Man looks like a great even - wish I could make it!!!

Those are amazing!!!

I was a researcher at Sophia University more than a decade ago and I developed a deep appreciation then for woodblock prints.

Well, you're in the enviable position of having both within driving distance. Denver is a (good) known quantity, but if Chicago attracts a batch of good dealers it could be a great show.

Yeah, I really want to do Denver though, plus I already talked to your brother about it.

That is a nice price for that #2.  If I just had not bought a bunch of stuff I would totally be interested in it.

If it does not sale I might hit you back up in a month or so!!!

I’ll be interested to hear how this one does. If I wasn’t in Denver that weekend I’d probably check it out. 

I was thinking about going to this show as well, but I am planning on going to Denver as well!!

@mysterioCGC will not be set up. We are working with the show to offer cgc facilitating and witnessing. 

I think this is the first year I have heard of CGC not being there.  They must all be at Wonder Con

Well got my room and tickets.  Excited for the show!!!

Looking forward to getting some books signed by Ed McGuinnes, George Perez, Jeff Dekal, and MArc Silvestri!! 

Any upcoming comic creators being announced?

Ok, am I the only one who is a little underwhelmed by the comic creator guest list thus far? Not saying it sucks, but I was hoping for more. Claremont and Eastman are the only names that would wow me.

Planet is still not on CGC's calendar...

YES!!!!   I am not sure if C2E2 the week before and Wondercon that weekend are impacting the guest list, but the current guest list is not doing much for me.  Also, Claremont and Eastman are repeat guest from two years ago.  I was hoping the 20th Anniversary show would pull out all the stops . . . 


 

Any reports?

WOW!!!!!!!
