Do you walk around conventions with those comics in a binder?

[gilbertotorres]

i was going to send it for pressing then to cgc. it would probably bring the grade up if i pressed it.

[Mutie Fan]

That is what I understand but I have never pressed a book myself. I am not opposed to it I just don’t have that many books I think it would make sense to press.

[gilbertotorres]

i added a link if you want to see it. it's in one of my above posts.

[Mutie Fan]

Wow nice copy! Great pick up on that one. I wish I had seen that post... I might have been able to pinch it myself! (thumbs u

[gilbertotorres]

Hope to see many of you there. Look for me on Saturday at the Grading Seminar, the MST3K panel, and the Pixar panel. I'll be wearing a black White Stripes t-shirt and looking through comic boxes (when not at a panel). If you see me, say "Hey!"

[deamentia]

See ya guys there!

Well, I just got back from Super-Con with a detour on the way home for the wife to do some outlet shopping.

 

Did not seem like the show was as big this year when compared to last year as far as comic dealers are concerned but I think there was more OA than last year.

 

I had the pleasure to meet board member Gilbertotorres. He is a very nice young man with some great books. (I hope someday to have an ASM #1 and X-men #1). Thanks Gilberto for the Wolvie Origin #1, it was the last one I needed for that set!

 

I picked up two graded silver age X-men (#13 in 5.0, #20 in 4.5) and two raw (#37 in about 6.0 and #42 in about 5.5). I had intended to finish up the last few books of my bronze age X-men run but found it a little harder this year to find the 8.5ish grade I look for on those in what I considered a decent price. Oh well, the hunt is most of the fun anyway and now I have some left over money for the hunt to continue. I had been holding off on buying until after the con was over but it’s on now!
