I am really looking forward to this con, especially because of Joe Kubert, whom I have never met before.

Take me off the list, can't get up there even though the wife and boy will be in cinci all week and headed to the LA Galaxy vs Columbus Crew Soccer game on that Saturday nite (oh yeah, traffic will be bad). Everyone is going to see Beckham play and Donovan is one of my boys favs. I get to stay home and do the LCS and marching band parent thing.

are you setting up Mike?

 

yes , booth # 323 I believe -- 1`st time doing mid-ohio since probably `95 or so -- i`m looking forward to next weekend -- its been a slow year for me with the new baby and all -- this will be like my own mini-vacation .. I`ve been pricing books like crazy for a few weeks now and everything is just about ready-- just need to work on rigging for my banner I just bought .. I just dread the drive ( 6 1/2 hours approx.).. I`m bringing my friend Ed along so if any board members have any very reasonably priced disney that will be his main item he`s looking for -- so how many SS submissions have you gotten so far for the show ? --

Mike,

 

I remember you from a small Lexington, KY show a couple of years ago in which I bought a box or two from you, and I've done some eBay purchases from you.

 

I do have some Disney's- about 100-200 of them, maybe more, mostly Ducks, Mickey's, etc. from the 1950s through the 1970s. I have some of the 1970s in a half off box, and also have some lower grade stuff in my $2 and $1 boxes.

 

My booth is #422.

 

BTW, do any dealers know the exact hours on Friday in which the hall will be opened for dealers? Haven't received the info yet; James Henry mentioned he's mailing them early early in the week, but if it's by snail mail, it might arrive after I leave. We're in Hall E I believe, which is different from last year. I think the loading dock is on the street level north of the hall.

Hey guys.....our show exclusives arrived today.

 

My wife did the best she could on our scanner so I could see them at work. She knew I was looking forward to their arrival. From the scanner image I can tell these will be awesome. I'll try and take a better picture tonight. The scanner takes away the luster and 3D effect of the Pin on Pin.

 

Casper is limited to 200 and I will only have around 70 of the 200 Black Terror exclusives. The remaining are included in the VIP package. So if you want one of those stop by early!

 

Both are show exclusives. Casper is the 1st release in a series of trading pins featuring a show's logo incorporated into a classic rocket cover from Harvey Publications. The Black Terror image was recreated by our very own Shiverbones. Inspiration came from the cover of Black Terror #10 and is the 4th realease in our Goldenage series of Trading Pins.

 

All pins are squentially numbered on the back and contain our custom back stamp.
