We were there Friday and Saturday. Picked up 3 four color duck books to fill some holes, a sketch book cover by Dan Parent with Betty and Veronica (my first ever sketch book), and bought a 1967 Fillmore poster with Pink Floyd which was a complete impulse buy. We had a great time and we are already planning for next year.

You see the vendor that had all the concert flyers etc? They had some REALLY nice stuff. 

Im exhausted but had a blast. Stayed all three days. Found alot of what i was looking for this time. I actually think i purchased some slabs from @arexcrooke and didnt realize it was his booth until i left. 

Ill post some pics after work today. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves after the two year lay off!

Anyone at the con seen any Vengeance 2 for sale?

For those only going one day -  I still see no advance one day ticket, what do you suggest for smoothest entry? Get there an hour early, get in line & there will be tickets to purchase with cash at the door?

Yeah just get there a little before the con. They usually have several boothes set up for single day tickets. Its a smooth ordeal. Saturdays are busier though.

My dealers say everything I want is a key!

And if it isnt now just wait, it will be.

My gut tells me there will be some blow outs happening this year (other then keys obviously).  Stuff has started to get tough on E-Bay and I'd think people would be up for making some deals on the bulk books.  Let us know how it goes.

Would be nice but i think if thats the case alot of big dealers will scoop up inventory on friday morning etc before the show. We will see. This has been a good year for more monetarily so im hoping to spend some money

I'll be there all three days. Been going since 2007. This will be my first year bringing my son whos 8 now. Hoping to run into some of the usual suspects there. Then get my drink on at the art auction Saturday. 

Havent been to a con since covid so im sure ill be sticker price shocked at the price of comics these days.... 

My wife, son, and I went to our shop in Wilmington. 8 books each so ended up with 24. Son got some good kids stuff to read on. After that we hit up the theater and saw dr strange 2. Was a fun comic book day for us all around. 

Class of 2007 here. I scroll through from time to time but hardly post.

My last experience was terrible at Bargain Shop. I found a stack of about 30 ASM issues I needed and they processed to look up the price for every issue on eBay. Took forever and of course some of the books tripled in price. I passed on them. 

sounds about right. Its def a pawn shop mentality in there. Are you local to the area? i need more folks to talk comics with here

I 2nd Memory Lane.  They have a smaller back issue section, but are going to have great wall books/keys.

Jacksonville does have The Comic Book Room / Bargain shop.  I have found a few things here and there.  But sometimes their prices are way high.

i honestly cant stand that place. I was told to leave the store years ago for asking about his pricing.  Wont buy anything there. Hes basically preying on the military. 

Ive gone to several since the pandemic started and honestly have no issue going again

Sold my Something is killing the children 1-15 for 1500.00 dollars recently. Not bad for a 70 $ investment :):)

How so? I literally learned what a non-binary / hermaphrodite was from reading Sandman. Forget the exact issue number but it was part of A Game of You (# 32 - # 37).

This was an integral part of Sandman characters in stories told literally 30 years ago.

i mean thats great and all but this isnt that. Its pandering. Thats my opinion. Not gonna go back and forth. 

ed piskors podcast is good. And Marvel Method with Method Man was enjoyable 

Sadly no. I live in jacksonville about 25 minutes away from emerald isle and the closest shops are in wilmington or new bern. The shop in New Bern doesnt have a whole lot as far as back issues outside of moderns. Memory Lane in wilmington is a great shop but caters more towards new books. Fanboys in Wilmington has a decent back issue section though. Let me know if you need anything while your in the area!

the pronoun things is just ridiculous pandering.

Hmm I wonder what they require to be a creator? 
 

I do like what the OP is trying to do kinda cool if you have lots of talent 

I'm far from talented. Just thought it could be a neat gift idea etc.

you have to register with CGC as a creator. There is a form on their website for this.

Then when submitting the book a signature series submission form is required.

thanks!
