Enjoyed my first time at golden orbit today, so many comic books that it was abit much to take it at first and ended up walking around like a kid in a candy store!

 

I ended up getting:

 

Batman 163

Sub Mariner 3

Tales to Astonish 100

 

Overall a good day!

[nmtg9]

Anyone going too or been to a golden orbit fair before? Going to the one in leeds tomorrow and wondering what to expect....

 

Hoping its going to be good fun

 

I was there!!!

 

Picked up Mind The Gap #1 (both covers) £1.75 each, 5 copies of Revival #1 - £1.75 each, Aquaman #9 1:25 variant, Daredevil #14 - 1:25 variant - £2.99 each from FP.

Loads of nice bits for 50p at OK comics and ...oh yeah Golden Orbit pants again.

I will be selling next month though so it will be much better!

P155sed off though as I walked in behind the guy that bought out some private sellers Walking Dead collection #30 thru #90, 2 copies of each.........50p each

 

I picked up Avengers 17, 28

X-Men 50

Thro 195 198

Iron man 169 206

Spider woman 50

 

Was quite busy today.

Sweet, what condition were the Avengers in, Neil?

 

The 17 is a good - only £8 and the 28 is a vg. Only need 30 for the first volume now.

 

The x-men 50 is vg but has a page crease from top to bottom but isn't a sub crease. That was £12 I wasn't sure on it but decided that it was too nice at the price to ignore.

 

The SW means I have finished the first series.

Yes my three books were all raw and it seemed to be that a lot of the stuff there was raw. However a few dealers had slabbed books but they were out of my price range! I think there were about 12 dealer tables...

One of the dealers (can't remember the name, something like silverlink comics) had some cracking books...spent about 10 minutes looking at them and wishing I had a spare few grand!

[Maccai3]

silverlink eh

 

 

might go for the trip Saturday though i'm on holiday next month so i couldn't buy anything of worth

haha found their card, its Silver Acre...they had some really nice stuff.

 

Worth a trip out, even if just for a look. However I can never just go for a 'look' without buying something

[Maccai3]

thats my worry, if i take the lady then i'll stick to buying cheap

[Arsenalherd]

Hmmmm silver acre hey, nice books but too many zero's

[Maccai3]

[Kevin.J]

Hmmmm silver acre hey, nice books but too many zero's

 

And the biggest zero of them all, Darryl.

[liam1682-migration]

Hmmmm silver acre hey, nice books but too many zero's

 

True, far too many for my budget anywa

[Arsenalherd]

Yes the famous Darryl and his slight overgrading/pricing.

[gaz973]

Slight?

 

I hope if Liam shook hands with Darryl, he counted his fingers afterwards.

[Arsenalherd]

Hey I don't wanna person_without_enough_empathy too much, give others a chance

[nmtg9]

Silver Acre. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

 

There is a reason he has so many 'nice books - he's a robbing get.

[liam1682-migration]

Thankfully I didnt buy anything from him...haven't been collecting long but I could tell his stuff was rather on the steep side, even though he had a quite a few nice books

The Golden Orbit marts can feel 'same old' very quickly.  I stopped going in late 2006.  I have heard that attendance is declining significantly at all shows.
