    Posted · Edited by capt_comics

    Long time since I’ve been here on the boards! Wanted to invite all the board members to our Winter show - Sunday December 15th. Time is 10am until 5pm. 21,000 square feet of comics, toys, comic related merchandise plus artists writers and lots more. Probably the best group of vintage comic dealers you will see in our area unless you go to Heroes Con. $5 admission and children 9 and under free. Print out a page here from the boards with your board name and get in free. Hope to see lots of you there in a few weekends......

    A seriously GREAT SHOW!!!   Always nice being by Rick and his awesome display of wall and display books. Considering where my inventory is now after the "purge" back in April lol  I didn't expect a super show but I ended up doing about 2/3 of what I usually do at the show. Sold $1000 worth of early Lone Rangers on Saturday which helped (yeah -  I know I'm the only one that sells stuff like this anymore). I had Just picked up some nice original owner books and some of those sold well (Spidey 90, Strange Tales 116, etc.) Sold a nice Aquaman #35, My Greatest Adventure #80, plus a couple of huge stacks of Walking Dead. Sold a solid Little Dot #2 to Mark Haspel. I'm sure he'll do well with it.  Picked up some nice stuff from Rick and Earl Shaw. My forever neighbor Banks Robinson was selling an almost complete Atlas collection for a friend and he was swamped all weekend. Very nice seeing some of these books. I would have picked up some of the rarer ones myself but I already have nicer copies. Did buy a nice Timely Mighty Mouse #4 for myself. Thanks to John Bailey for picking up the check on some awesome Italian food Friday night at Mama Ricotta's Already looking forward to next year!

    Yeah, when I saw it I knew I wasn't letting that get away. Some have said pop it out but I it the way it is. I had an old collector in last week who has been buying comics off the rack since the early 60's and he said you would never see these anywhere, let alone not being opened.

    You don't see the old ones like this very often

    Not to mention that the Tampa Bay show, which drew well over 40k last year, is the weekend before, and that show is sold out for vendor booths. What nonsensical planning on the part of the WW folks.

     

    I forgot that the TB show was that first weekend in August. I'd add highly unusual to your nonsensical, as their typical strategy is to try to get in there ahead of the established show.

     

    Of late their strategy seems to be to announce new shows and then cancel to move them out a year (see Albuquerque and Greenville). That may be what happens here, but with them already scheduled out 14 months on this it would be a strange move. Still, Greenville was on the books for some time before being cancelled and pushed out a year, so who knows.
