Hi, Apologies if this is not the right section for a question like this, but I was hoping for some advice from you seasoned pros. I'll be setting up at a mid-size convention in August as my first convention ever. Spaces are 10x10 for $195 and you can get multiples for larger space if you want. Here's what I have to sell: Over 300 slabs, 17 short boxes of everything from dollar books to $100+ keys (mostly modern and copper/bronze with some silver and a splash of gold but nothing crazy in gold) 7 long boxes of full series runs. In addition to comics I have a ton of anime merchandise (new), video games (new and used), CGC Card slabs, Anime and Comic T Shirts, Vintage Action Figures, Toys, etc. Here is some of what I *think* I need to know, but its definitely one of those you don't know what you don't know situations. 1) Should I just stick to comics? The vendor list already has some booths that have some of the other items I have. Just not sure if a booth with a little bit of everything is better or if it should be focused. 2) I'm not looking to sell regularly at cons, but might do this convention annually if it goes well. With that in mind, what type of supplies for set up do you suggest? 3) I'm thinking of taking cash and PayPal but is some sort of credit card processing a must? (I don't have CashApp or zelle or any other payment systems.) 4) If I sell more than comics, I think I could easily fill 2 10x10's but I'm not sure that it's worth it. Especially since I will be on my own. I do have a friend who is probably going to set up beside me so that we can watch each other's booth for food/restroom/etc. 5) It's a 2 day convention (Sat & Sun). Do I need to be concerned about theft overnight, during set up/tear down, etc? Any other tips, tricks, or important insight you all are willing to share would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

It was not mine. I wish! I'm on another message board with the person that did submit it and he let us know that he got a 9.8. Lucky, lucky guy!

A 9.8 just hit the census!

I feel like Wayne from Wayne's World...One day it will be mine..oh yes, it will be mine. In the mean time, I just come to this thread to stare at copies hahaha.

There is no spec here. Jackhartmann, it's nice that you are posting cool looking covers almost daily but this has nothing to do with the thread title. Maybe create a thread called cool modern variant covers and post them in there? I mean, a lot of spec is dead so this thread probably doesn't have a lot to go on, but it is what it is.

Hi, I have the opportunity to buy an X-Men 266 that looks flawless other than a small 1/8" rounded corner piece is missing from the top right corner of the book. Apologies for no photos, but how much does something like that impact a book that would otherwise be a very strong 9.8 contender?

Appreciate your input and time. Trying to improve my own grading and I had this pegged at a 6. Thanks!

Hi. Any help is appreciated. Just looking for a good rough grade based on the photos I have. Thanks

Cant fully see the picture but it looks like they did not call it out as her first appearance in the notes? Seriously?

Ugh, spec fail haha

This looks like shelves at a show not a yard sale find...dang. Congrats!

Hi, Hoping for some help on this. I purchased a collection recently and there were 2 copies of Savage Dragon 250 with a B&W Cover. On the back it says Cover I. I'm trying to find this book and am struggling. Can't find it on Image's website (A-H). Midtown doesn't list anything past Cover H either. Can't find anything on Ebay. Is it some kind of ratio variant? Any help and idea of value would be appreciated.
