SDCC report with some pictures

[G.A.tor]

hello all....

ok, after 15 wonderful hours of flights and airports, we have returned to Florida from wonderful San Diego...

 

Our little company debuted an exclusive Star Trek action figure there (WOK McCoy):

So, quite a bit of my time was spent in the little booth dishing out McCoy action figures....a few folks that dropped by to say hi, and that I had the pleasure of meeting were: RareHighGrade (Peter) and sacentaur (STEVE) and dizzyfox (John) and socratic wonder (Ronaldo and his girlfriend):

 

During the Wednesday Set up, I got to poke around the hall and take a few pictures, most are well known on the Boards...we'll start with one of my Favorites, Richard of Bedrock City:

 

followed by my friends Adam and Daniel (Filter81):

 

next were a couple of great guys...Jamie of SoCal and our own Mark Zaid:

 

popped by to see Vincent and the folks at Metro:

 

then ran into Brent of Quality Comix:

 

next was Harley Yee:

 

followed by Redbeard Ron P:

 

really liked the racks that System of a Down's John D (manager pictured) had:

 

the boys at A-1 comics

 

talked to John V for a little while...

 

finally made it by to see Robert B

 

and relieved him of these:

 

we took a ton of other pictures, but nothing to spectacular...

Nice comic pictures, but where are all the hot girls? !

[Ze-man]

I just logged on after a long day and it was very nice to read your report.

 

And to actually see comics.. at a comic convention!

 

Thanks for taking the time to write it up. And in keeping with the overall theme of the con and your new MCCoy figure, "Damnit Jim..I'm a comic book fan not a costumed freak."

For those of you that didn't make it, take a look at the two copies of Sensation #1 in the center of the picture. The one on the left is a CGC 9.4.

Its a shame. That Sensation cover was worthy of being a first app cover.I alway thought All Star 8 was a very bland cover for her 1st app, but the trophy that goes to a bland 1st app cover would go to Pep 22 [1st archie]

I think Pep 22 has a great cover. A spiked Nazi boot coming down on our heroes. Pretty cool war cover I think.

FYI,

The Archie booth was handing out various copies of their digests including the 1 reprinting Pep #22 and Archie #1. Bechara Maalouf was displaying the original art splash pg with Veronica on it at his booth. Amazing!

great photos. so, what were your impressions of the show?

really kind of tough for me to say, comic wise, as I was 90% down on row 200 in our little booth....our traffic was extremely "high" the entire show, except Saturday.....when I did get a chance to stop by the GA pavillion, it was always walkable (unlike the aisles, etc, which were always jammed with folks)....I know some big sales were happening (sales on single books in the $20K, to $30K to $40K + range), and I heard one dealer, on close up Sunday say he sold 1/2 of his "common" stuff and was very happy sounding...

 

I can't report on individual dealer sales, because I just wasn't around enough...but I am sure once Bedrock, etc return, they will post some reports

socratic wonder (Ronaldo and his girlfriend):

 

Ronaldo....buddy.....she looks like a keeper. Why don't you sell all your comics, and buy that girl a ring!

Cool pictures Rick. Did you see or know of any Marvel Mystery Comics #9 that were for sale or changed hands?
