Hello, I have a few Romance books for sale. They are mostly Silver and Bronze DC, with a couple of others thrown in. Here are the rules: First (or something similar) in the thread takes it. This supersedes any PM negotiations, regardless if an agreement is reached in those PM negotiations. All raw books are returnable for any reason, but return shipping is on you. Please notify me within three days of your desire for a refund. No returns on slab books. Shipping is via USPS. Cost for shipping in the continental USA is $8 for a raw book and $16 for a slab. All other places will pay exact shipping and that amount will be determined after the book is sold. All books are shipped from Southern California. If more than one book is purchased, I will combine shipping. Payment by check, money order or PayPal. Local pick up is fine, but payment has to be via cash. OK, that's it for the rules. Here we go...

I just bought my ticket. Harley and Dale's websites show this convention on their schedule.

I think you are being very kind using the description "abysmal".

I went Friday and Saturday. On Friday, I was able to park at the Convention Center at 11:15 AM. Very easy, as the crowds were not too heavy. The many lunch trucks are always a nice feature and again, the crowds were manageable. I waited about 6 minutes for my food order. The comic dealers were lighter than last year, but there seems to be multiple conventions competing against each other. Harley left late on Friday to catch a flight to New York to attend Carbo's convention. Just the thought of him putting in a full day at the con and then catching a coast to coast flight made me tired. I don't know how he does it. Maybe he's part machine. HighGradeComics was there, in addition to Jamie Graham (although I did not see him), Metro, Red Hood (from Nevada) and a few other dealers. Even though dealer attendance was down, there was no shortage of quality books. I focused on nicer books priced cheaply. If you had some patience and were thorough, they were there. You just had to look for them. I had to have that mentality, as my budget at the moment is tight. I had fun looking! On Saturday, I had the same experience with the Convention Center parking. I was directed to GardenWalk, but it was a nice leisurely walk to the Con, so no biggie, right? However, when I got to the Convention Center, there were letting people park at the Convention Center parking lot! It was one of the moments were I chose to shrug my shoulders and just accept it. The crowds were much heavier. I had lunch before noon, but the lunch truck area was super busy. I heard that wait times increased to over 45 minutes at 1 PM. Ouch. I found a couple of nice pedigree books priced in the 500 to 600 dollar range. But unfortunately, they were out of my price range at the moment. I had some long conversations with several boardies. There was one collector who I had not seen in several years. It felt like a reunion. I also had a long conversation with Bob Storms. That was fun. My wife and I also had dinner with a couple of other boardies. It is so nice to catch up with everyone, and that is becoming the highlight of any convention I attend. I also like hearing how a boardie bought a grail or scored an auction win. I guess I like living vicariously through others. WonderCon is not the back issue bonanza from several years ago, but it was fun. I plan to attend next year. My biggest regret is that I did not attend any panels. I hope to rectify that at San Diego. I also hope that conventions do not compete against each other, but that might be asking for too much. See you guys at Torpedo Con!

Good to hear it wasn't amateur restoration!

You look closer to 7.0, cream to off white. I would call you conserved, not restored.

Thank goodness for the different venue. Glendale is a much safer area than the area around The Palladium.
