Were you buying or selling, Mitch?

Not me. 
I’m a bit more cultured than that. 
I witnessed this. It happened at a Chicago Con. 

1980s. 
A person traded 1 or 2 Dave Sim pages for sex. 
True story. Nuff said.

As with everything else in life, read the news and interpret it as you will.

 

Exactly.

No great loss.

I think (other than Mitch) all of the dealers from the last SDCC were there.  Near as I could tell, all had sales and I’ll bet they’ll be back next year.  
Mitch you were missed. 
Conrad hasn’t been there for years.   

Thank you Ron.

Missed you too..

I left him where I found him.  

Ah, I understand.

He was on the floor, and at one dealer’s booth or another, 100% of the time I was at the show. 
 

Was Glen drinking again? I hope you picked him up off the floor. 😂

I didn’t see Glen Brunswick.

Sadly haven’t seen Conrad E for years I believe for health reasons.

Otherwise I saw quite a bit of art. I found a real art treasure in a booth that was 99.8% comics. You never know what you’ll find at the Con.

I understand the problems some of the dealers have encountered with SDCC. Gene was also saying maybe him and his friends wouldn’t come so much anymore. I hope that’s not true.

I think the venue is still a vibrant atmosphere for promoting and pursuing comic art. I was taking pics of the Heritage display and a young man about 21 was staring at the art. I redirected his eyes and pointed at the TOS 39 page. “That’s the very first appearance of Ironman in a comic book right there on that page.”

The guy immediately became transfixed and pulled his iPhone out taking multiple pics. He called out to his friends who were sifting through comics in a booth across the way. They all ran over and he explained to them what he was looking at. They all got excited and started taking pics.it brought me so much joy.

I missed Mitch and I hope he comes back some day but it seems like his mind is made up. I respect that. I’d also like to meet a lot of you guys also.

🍇 🦍 

Thanks.

As I said before, I missed seeing a bunch of you. Others, not so much.

I’m done with shows, specifically SD. I don’t feel the need to put out $10k for expenses when the same people and more can view the art on my site.

At this point, I am not going to remove any posts but, lay off from the name calling.  Weather the receiving party is right or wrong, there should be no responses that include name calling.  This is the second time I have seen this.  (1st was in the selling thread)  Next time, the result will be restrictions on your ability to post.

You can’t fool me. I know that pup runs this show.

The Donnellys must have accidentally priced your Burnley Superman?

Those bastardos!

Did you mean to price that Superman 1/2 Sunday by Burnley at $250,000? 
I ask because a FULL Sunday by Boring just sold for $8400 at auction.

The Boring in question was from 1949 and not a great example.

My 1/2 Sunday is from 1943 and much better example.

Just kept hitting that zero key  

All fixed.

Burnley Sundays are more rare than Boring Sundays.

I'd imagine it's too expensive and not worth the hassle anymore since it's become a glorified pop culture con than anything else.  

Correct. At least for me

Depends. Depends if it’s a dealer or a dealer who pretends to be a collector. 

But how do you know when to draw the line?

A lot of collectors are amateur dealers.

Okay.   I don't doubt you but he made some mention in the podcast to it being available at 400 or 500k some years ago and thinking that was too much money.

If I misheard it I'm sure someone will correct me.

 

I was the only one who had access to the cover. I never offered the cover to anyone but the person who bought it.
