  1. This is a great post! This show has been on my radar for years but I've never gone. I think I need to make it a priority for 2019.
  2. Sorry to hear this. I first met him when he was wheeling and dealing back in the El Cortez era of San Diego Comic-Con. He was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable.
  3. I bought a book a few days ago and it was packed safely and shipped fast. Nice comic! Great to work with!
  4. Hi, I buy from board members occasionally and figured it was time to add a kudos thread. Please feel free to leave feedback.
  5. I bought a PCH comic and also claimed a freebie. Both are nice books, accurately described, expertly packed, and shipped lightning fast. Reliable and always easy to work with. Thanks!
  6. I don't like to see any comic dealer bail out of SDCC but losing Mile High was not a significant loss for collectors of GA/SA and is probably not a portent of the end times for our neck of the woods (the Golden And Silver Age Pavilion of the exhibit hall). Chuck is a pleasant guy to talk to about the hobby and has earned his place in its history but year after year they had a very expensive set-up with only modern comics that could easily be obtained elsewhere. I did most of my shopping on Wed/Thurs and it looked to me like there was a lot of great material at the show this year. I was looking for certain things and only found a couple of them but I enjoy the hunt anyway. I really like the panels too. I go way back with SDCC and despite the way it has grown and mutated over the years, I still look forward to it and I always have post-Comic-Con blues when it's over.
  7. I attended that panel too, and although the abrupt shutdown was jarring and seemed rude, I think the room attendant had previously held up the sign indicating 5 minutes remaining. There was no panel after this one so it seems like they could have gone on longer but the staff probably had instructions to clear everyone out and lock the doors by a certain time.
  8. Sad news indeed. I was fortunate to meet him at SDCC and the war comics dinner. He was a great artist and a great guy.
  9. I think all the square-bound comics back then were stapled on the inside.
  10. I have one. I keep it in a large OA size mylar.
  11. I bought a comic from Bob's recent sale. The comic was accurately described, packed securely, and shipped very fast. Communication was excellent. I hope to buy from him again.

  13. I felt a disturbance in The Force and figured I better check the CGC boards. Thecollectron is reporting for duty!
  14. Another splendid time was had by all. Great job organizing this, Mick!
