  1. says so right on the cover, bottom left.
  2. I agree completely. Last con I went to a lady is pushing her giant stroller and my thoughts are like you: get a babysitter! Then I see what is in the stroller, it was 2 dogs!! WTF
  3. I generally like Campbell art, but I hate this one. The weird head shape, can't tell how many shoulders Spidey has, those fingers UGH! and the weird twisting back leading to the over emphasized butt.
  4. Seems like a waste of money to me, especially if you are just keeping it.
  5. Entire spine of cover is split and it is detached from the book.
  6. Me to! I had a set of 4 of them, and I had 2 multi-player game decks that were awful to play against. 1. Chaos Orb+ Argivian Archeologist. Cast Mana Drain, get all of YOUR mana, use it to drop a Chaos Orb on your played cards. I was deadly with my Chaos Orb as well. 2. Mana Drain (4) + Time Walk(4) + Time Twister (2) +Regrowth (2) + Demonic Tutor(2) +Ancestral recall ( 4) +Candelabra (2) and a few creatures usually Serra Angels. Obviously this is before cards got restricted. I played this deck a lot before Legends and once my "engine" was going it was game over because no one else got another turn. Usually that happened in just a few turns. I retired the deck as the friends I played with told me they wouldn't play if I used that deck ever again
  7. I would keep the $100.00 and so should your daughter. Reminds me of a time I was buying Magic the Gathering cards and I was buying a bunch of lots from a seller who was selling Legends packs. The pack was opened, and then sold if he didn't get what he was looking for. The rare was listed and "comes with the uncommons and all the commons." I bought quite a few of them, and they arrived as stated. What the seller didn't seem to know was that in the Legends set some of the uncommons are valuable. Thanks for that pack mint Mana Drain! On second thought never mind it got stolen at a comic show a few years later.
  8. I have been thinking about this Mr. Hand. If it is my recase, and it is your recase, doesn't that make it our recase? And surely there is nothing wrong with a little recasing on our case?
  9. Guys like this seem to be everywhere. We have one here in Alberta. An example "event": he was parked in the loading bay of a local con and some other vendors were wanting to load a rather heavy piece of machinery into their van after the show and they asked if the guy could move his vehicle to allow them to load up using the loading dock. After they were done they said he could move his vehicle back in. He of course refused to be of any help and did not move his vehicle, an argument ensued and it resulted in the police being called to resolve. It is important to add that while his vehicle was parked in the loading zone spot he was not doing any loading.
  10. The problem is rising cost per foot and paying for it. I have not looked it up but doing the simple math I assume a 70 foot booth means 7 10x10 foot booths which means he is paying over $2500 per 10x10 booth. That is an outrageous cost. The most expensive show I attend as a vendor is the Calgary Expo. I attend with 3 friends, and the 4 of us split up an endcap. The cost keeps rising each year, the next show our endcap costs $2100.00, or $525.00 per table. SDCC is 5 times that. Why "give away" thousands of dollars worth of your product just to attend the most expensive convention? Let alone the costs of hotel/ food/ employees/ travel.
  11. I don't blame them for the stance. Is quite a few headaches that can come of this. It was something she offered and I took it. My expectations are that I sell none of the framed original pages and I will collect them all off her walls sometime down the road. I will likely sell a few prints but those are not worth her time. And lets face it, wall space = money. She could display a book instead and has a better chance to sell it. The key reason she said yes is I offered 25% of sale value so there is some money there, and I gave her a pretty nice piece of art. Go figure she has had an offer for that piece.
