Cr@p. My party favors are being shipped to me Media Mail. Hopefully, I get a holiday miracle from the post office.

 

I got a few PMs of regrets. But, I think this will be the best SoCal holiday forum party ever.

 

5 more days!

[50YrsCollctngCmcs]

This should be fun. What kind of books are people bringing to show off?

 

Anyone have any special interests. I mostly have DC Goldne Age and Barks but may let a special Marvel out of the vault for fun.

[CAP Freak]

Hopefully I can get a book shipped Priority tomorrow by Saturday.

[innocuous]

I'll bring my showcase 4 and a few GA. Maybe my Tim Sale OA purchased this year.

 

Grinder, I would love to see some of those SS spideys.

Anyone interested in old fanzines?

[innocuous]

I always get a kick out of the ads in some of the old fanzines.

 

btw - if you need directions or info, such as where to park, check out their website...

 

The Encounter LAX

 

.

[50YrsCollctngCmcs]

I am good on the Encounter, I have been there before.

 

I will also bring a couple of Harvey file copies I picked up in the last Comic Link auction. Sad Sack prior to his being back in the Army. Unique stuff.

 

Anyone have any early MLJ hero books they might bring? I have been curious about those for awhile.

[innocuous]

Less than 1 day. I know there are a couple of you on the fence (via PM) so join in. It'll be fun.

[CAP Freak]

I had a wonderful time.

[comicgrinder]

It was great meeting you Connor (thumbs u

Grinder,

 

Thanks for posting the photos, they came out great. It was fun to get together and meet all of you; a very entertaining evening.

 

After that table picture I am inspired to take a couple of photos on my dining room table over the holidays with all my goodies laid out. I laid them out once before but never got a good photo.

 

Jay, thanks for organizing. Let me know if you plan on organizing anything else or something at San Diego.

 

Connor thanks for sharing some great books and an interesting variety. If you like to read about comics history like in the Steranko books then I hope you are reading Alter Ego which is full of great stuff. Also, you would probably enjoy All in Color for a Dime which was reprinted a few years ago.

Yes, we should do this again real soon. I had a great time as well! My wife has offered to make a huge dinner and invite everyone here next time if anyone would be interested in something like that. She is an awesome cook

[50YrsCollctngCmcs]

By the way you guys inspired me to crack my Star Spangled 6 out of its slab. That puppy came out last night, the cutting of the inner sleeve was a little nerve wracking but came off without a hitch.

 

Additionally, Connor you were right and that is some color touch on the Green Lantern cover. It does not go through the page though and inside cover is original.

 

Getting together for dinner in Redondo is probably doable but my wife and kids would probably have to visit with Mike's wife and have an alternate dinner!!

[comicgrinder]

Well we can work together on the date for the alternate dinners.....any day is good for us.

[CAP Freak]

I'm free just about anytime. Weekends prefered.

[NewWorldOrder]

I am in next time for sure! (thumbs u

[CAP Freak]

What do you guys think about March?

[Joel Elad]

March works for me... Maybe the weekend of Wizard World LA when some of us will be at the show anyway? (Mar 13-15)
