I guess we'll have to tear open open these  to confirm if the UPC version came in the Whitman packs as well. 

 Not while I own it.

I can peek in without opening - blank UPC

Did a google search on that. Didn’t find anything. Interest in that UK Vampirella 2 from his wall. 

He doesn’t do social media. Marc @HouseofComics.Com or I can reach out to him if you want to send a PM. As Marc mentioned, he will be at our next Berkeley Comic Show as well (only a 3 hour flight)

For those wondering about the two different UK issues in 1976 and 1979... apparently, Topps US printed identical second revision stickers in 1976 for Trebor. I don't think they can be differentiated from the US issue unless you open a sealed pack to check. This issue is virtually unknown. The common issue most people know about, was issued in 1979, made by Topps Ireland for Trebor. These stickers have the blue peel instructions on the back. The wrappers are different for the two issues and I've attached images from both releases.

Fantastic stuff, thanks for posting!

Planet of the Apes 1 VF 8.0 really nice with a sun shadow 

$35

For slabs the Shortboxed app is great.

Seems like an LCS problem rather than a Bad Idea problem.

FYI @Buzzetta

Very cool! I’ve never seen a Fireside poster before, and I’ve been searching and collecting Fireside for over 25 years. Killer find!

AAAAANNNNNDDDD you can only claim 1 of each.  So those that have all 5-6 buttons....  They either have 3-4 too many or there is more to come.

Dinesh said people with pins will have future opportunities to trade them in. So pin holders will gamble on picking these books now, or waiting for something better (or worse) in the future.

All in all it was a fun show. I'm hoping they are able to get the old location back (or even a larger area then the old venue) it was tight. I think alot of books traded hand from what I could tell and after the first wave of people cleared out a little I was able to see most of what was in the rooms that I wanted to see. 

Thank YOU for all your help my friend!

Thanks for the awesome show recap, and thanks for coming to the show!

There will probably be at least one looking for a reasonibly price GI joe 1 (marvel) at this show 

 

 

I’m sure you will find one!

Not sure who's booth this was but anyone sporting a Amazing Fantasy 15 on the wall needs some love too. If anyone knows who booth this was go ahead and chime in

My guess is @shortboxed, as they use these black plastic boxes and usually dress in black. It makes for a professional looking set-up, and they always have killer books.

I’ll take the two Reckless hardcovers please. Thanks!

Here are some pics from earlier shows so you can all get a feel for it! It's an old school comic book show with...COMIC BOOKS!

See how many boardies you can spot!

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!!

Did they remove the "must be visible in the front" requirement?

I've been to multiple stores lately and they are now intermixed with new releases.

I don’t know. I would think the COVID situation might have forced them to lighten up on that requirement. 
My LCS still has a display in front.

One potential issue I see with the NFPs: Stores are only required to price books at cover for 30 days, so after 30 days they priced Eniac NFPs at $10. If folks don’t want to buy a reprint at $10, the books may not sell through, and may not generate demand for another print run, which kind of defeats the purpose if the NFPs are meant to get cover priced reading copies to fans.
