  1. Entire spine of cover is split and it is detached from the book.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. My local comic shop has offered me some wall space to sell my art on on consignment. I offered them 25% of what they sell it for, in return they have graciously offered some wall space As a thank you I gave the owner a piece of art I did awhile back. She has a love of Golden Age books, and I gave her this Mask Comics #1 page I did. It is 19x 25"
  9. Not a rumor: The Calgary Stampede is in the process of doing a few renovations (Upper Big Four building) and as a result we have less booth spaces available for 2018. As a result we will be retiring the ECONOMY spots. If you were in an economy spot in 2017 and are renewing into a different booth configuration, we will place you in the best available locations possible once returning vendors not moving have been placed. Former Economy booth vendors should consider sharing a booth if the cost is too prohibitive to move to a regular booth. Please be sure to let us know who you are sharing with as we must approve all vendors at the show. There will be a link (button to click) available June 15th on our calgaryexpo.com website under Exhibitor/Exhibitor Registration that will take you to the 2018 Exhibitor application. Please note: We require that you either list a website that shows your product(s) OR upload photos of your work. If you do not have a website there is an option to upload images to the application that will show what you will be vending at the Calgary Expo. Please be very specific on what you will be selling or exhibiting (pick all that apply). There is a NOTES area in the application; please provide us with any information you would like us to know. (i.e. booth placement or questions you may have.) Due to the changes at the Stampede Grounds it may be some time before we have a working floor plan so please be patient. Once we have placed you you will be sent an email and a single purchase link to pay for the booth configuration of your choice. If you have questions and concerns you can contact me at any time.

  10. I like the way she looks here. The movie "Career Opportunities" comes to mind.
  11. You have a book inside the "new" CGC case they were trying to use last year. The book is placed between 2 sheets of mylar then encapsulated. Unfortunately this slab process didn't work and the books moved in between the 2 plastic sheets causing waviness. Send it back in to be re-encapsulated.
  12. take a few photos of the books and post them. From the photos members on this board/ forum can tell you if the books you have are worth putting some time and effort into doing what you need to do to sell them effectively via online sources. "Vintage" can mean so many different eras but to me it isn't books from 1985 even though those books are over 30 years old.
  13. 11x17" Wonder Woman in black and white, going to be coloring it.
  14. Latest drawing I have done, 11x17", and I will likely color it in the near future. As the above poster mentioned, everyone is probably drawing Wonder Woman. Yup.
