gumption

Moldoff reuse. With or without a kick to the jewels.

What else was found from the GA? Don't care about the SA Marvel. 

Went to April's Collectors Summit show but missed this one. Hoping for a repeat next year. 

There have been some jawdropper pickups being shared on IG... definitely some higher caliber books compared to the previous show.

I'm hoping the dealers left feeling good enough to want to come back. And that Heritage is inclined to host again.

A repeat November date would be ideal... I'd have six months to refill the coffers after some comic-centric shows early next year.

Was that the one on eBay last week?

Ten days ago, yes.

Just got my tickets. The show is happening 2 days before my birthday and I'm hoping to score a nice present for myself.

How is the Comic Book Dealer turnout for this event based on previous years?

I'm flying down for the Cal Comic Con in Feb for sure... just wondering if this one is also worth checking out.

I see it now. *sigh*
I have a post in there that I’d like to bump at some point. Don’t want it to disappear into the ether. 

Gonna visit some good friends from high school in Berkeley that weekend. The timing for this is perfect! Gonna check out your website for the dealer list.

SDCC is fun to experience at least once in your lifetime, but tickets are hard to score and are also very expensive. I recommend checking out a local one first… there are so many happening throughout the year. Then try one of the big city cons.

If you are after older books and Golden Age, check out Heroes in Charlotte and BaltimoreCon.

Those are some beautiful keys. Hope you got some good deals!

As a seller on Ebay, I’ve dropped off an item at a person’s apartment, with his permission first, and during the daytime. He lived in the same city and was nearby my work commute. Plus, it was a nice item and the less time spent in postal delivery, the less anxiety for me.

Most importantly, I took photos of the apartment building and his unit number, me leaving the package at his doorstep, and the door opening as he was coming out.

An extended time for payment is acceptable as long as they seem sincere and responsive. You just have to trust your gut instinct with that.

Understandable.

I’ll hit the 50-post threshold shortly.

Is it gone or has it just been moved?

Great report! So much Golden Age eye candy! Thanks for taking so many pics, @Bumble Kitty.

Looks well-attended by the major dealers. Hope they all did well in sales.

Loved seeing that AC1... and very curious to see what emerges out of Harley's new collection.

I've been to SDCC only once before... in 1995... would love to do it again one of these days.

Purchased a CGC slabbed GA book from Mike.

Very pleased with the book and the excellent care in packaging. Much appreciated!

AAC 31 per PM

Bought an All-American Comics #68 from Ed. Very happy with the book… and appreciate the expert care in packaging.

Hope you all get some great dealers… on par with the turnout we got in Bellevue.

@fett Patsy Walker definitely works for Green Bowtie lady.

I was down to the last two and each one had options.

Brunette with the brown bikini - this one could have been Madame Strange (with black hair)... but I stuck with the brown hair color.

Alice of the Winged People was another option, but Brunette girl is definitely missing a cape. 

I ended up going with Princess Pantha.

Blue Lapel lady - Could have been the Blue Lady but she has a mask. I went with Pat Patriot despite the black hair.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in!

The floor plan and vendor list are posted online now. Looks comparable to last year’s attendees.

@teleritesI will definitely sift through Electricmastro's list for sure. And I don't have much of a Golden Age reference library but will check out that recommendation. Thanks!

@MattTheDuckMadame Strange is possible but the hair color isn't a match. I'll defer to her if I still can't find a brunette.

And yes... the butterfly hairpiece really should be easy to find.

Really appreciate the responses so far. This has been a fun challenge so far and I didn't think I'd get anywhere this close to finishing. Thanks much!

@teleritesI will mark ranger lady with the front pockets as Nyoka and come up with something else for the previous Nyoka with the blue lapels. Blue Lapel lady came up on a website or two... so I'll backtrack.

@CrocHntrI can also live with sleeves-up white-blouse lady as being Flying Jenny. The headband and blouse are close enough.

Still searching for yellow-blouse lady with the green butterfly fascinator on her head.

Top Row - Brunette lady with the brown bikini top looks like she might be wearing a helmet.

Found this Golden Age group shot rendering online and tried to ID as many characters as I could. Also got some help from members in a FB JSA room.

I’m down to the last four heroines - shown circled. I’m not counting the floating male head at the top right corner since I can’t quite discern a costume.

Have gone through Gerber a couple of times for reference, and also scoured the Public Domain Superheroes website. 

Any corrections are also appreciated. 

Lastly, if anyone knows where the image came from, I’d like to credit them accordingly. It looks like it came from a magazine, with the pagefold gutter barely showing up along the right edge.

(The Black Widow is to the left of Doctor Mid-Nite. Forgot to tag her.)
