Golden Coral

Hey Andy I'm just a messenger relaying..................a message I am not affiliated with the show in any professional manner... only as a friend and collector. The idea was that the long weekend would afford any collectors traveling from the east coast and beyond, an extra day to recuperate/travel. The show culminates in an auction Sunday night. There are activities planned for any attendees interested in socializing after the show ends each night. Thank you for asking

first base?

an optimist are you?

A shilling for my sins

Elitist!! Im not helping the cauze am i? I thought the term was an older, perhaps archaic expression for the term concept??? or maybe I am conceited

The promoters, in their description wanted to describe the conceit of the show. It's not meant to be a barrier for inclusion or as a means for exclusion. A comic book-centric event, not be your typical local weekend con ( which has it's place in the hobby as well ), that would have the usual assortment of dollar bin books, trading cards, toys or cosplayers running around. It's specifically for the collectors that are focused on "higher" end books and pulps, networking with other collectors and dealers and an opportunity to socialize in a more intimate setting. The average Joe that walks into this show expecting these types of collectibles will be sorely disappointed. How many times have we all complained that SD and NY are now media shows catering to anything but comic books?

This is a single show targeting a specific type of collector for a weekend. In no way is anyone excluded from attending that wishes to attend. Capacity is capped like any other show in the world. Does it not cost the average attendee at least $50/day to attend San Diego or New York Comicon? Hardly the end of civilization as we know it. If the premise of the event does not intrigue (you) or if you feel disdain for the concept, it's quite acceptable to ignore this thread. Why anyone here feels like they need to belittle the promoters or anyone attending is beyond me.
