Great approach, i've definitely found variety is key.  At my last show I sold some Marvel Graphic Novels, I had them for a few shows.  But this time around I decided to put them on the bottom of my wall.  Because of the size and covers they drew attention and eventually sold.  I'm also happy to here about the sale due to a customer request.  I also keep a list of books people ask about and try to bring them to future shows, you never know.

Looking great.  Just make absolutely sure there are no concerns about potential flooding ... that's the one thing that scares me about basements.  Best of luck!

That is an excellent point @Sweet Lou 14, i'm new to the midwest and this is the first state i've lived in where a basement is even a possibility.  I will have to get creative.  I actually had to replace the sump pump right away, so that works.  I'm hoping to keep most of my books up on shelving, and then use the main area for displays and shelving.

Graphic Con is rapidly approaching and thankfully the last of the long boxes I ordered are in, so I will now have all new "show" long boxes.

New dividers are all labelled.

I also started to include information at the top of my sets thanks to great suggestion from @Artboy99 and @thehumantorch for that. Great idea.

I just have to transfer books into the new boxes and I also need to price up some new titles to add. Also some new bagging and boarding but I have those supplies.

As it stands,  I will have two 8 foot tables and about 8 feet behind me to work with, so room for about 24 long boxes. I am going with basic "convention style" and I am not sure if I should do a "center display" or not at this point or just load it up with boxes.

I am thinking of doing 15 long boxes of titles (A - Z), 6 long boxes of sets, one (or two) box(es) of "premium" books (keys and semi keys, first appearances, etc) and maybe one box of assorted variant covers.

Behind me will be my "wall" with higher end keys and CGC books.  On the shelves I will have an assortment of the few toys I have left, comic magazines and hardcovers and what I call "other stuff".

I have requested an "end row" booth...If I get that, I will be able to include another 4 foot table.  If I get an end row, I will likely just bring 4-5 longs of $2 books (or 3 for $5) to use there and possibly bring my spinner rack.  I should find out this week or the next where I will be located.

Can I ask what type of information you are putting at the top of your sets?  I'd like to start putting together sets for the shows I set up at, i'm just curious.  Great journal by the way, really great information!
