HeroesCon NC...June 19-21....

[DrWatson]

another question, since I have never sold "recent" books...

all the overstock I have from, say 2002-2009 (marvel, dc, etc)...do those sell well at $1?, 6 for $5?, 2 for $1...or what? (I am talking $2.50 to 3.99 cover books)

 

I also have 4 boxes of $12.99 to $19.99 trades... $5 each

 

I have a box of 3/$10 silver age, a box of $6 or 2/$10 silver age, a box of $10 or 3 for $25 silver age (lots of neal adams batman, BB, etc in there)

 

I also have a lot of 70's "stuff" (batman, detective, flash, etc)...what do those sell at?

I usually hit up Dave's Comics. He sells his 2002-2009 for $2 a piece or three for $5. He had a brisk business at the local Charlotte show that one Sunday. I picked up several 9.8s for about $1.75 a piece. I am definitely interested in digging through them. (thumbs u

alright folks...

http://www.heroesonline.com/con-exhibitor.html

 

i`d go for #320 -- its a bit more in the center of the dealer area -- but thats just my thoughts .. both are nice spots though

[DrWatson]

I like 320, but I know nothing of these things.

[G.A.tor]

the reason I like 213 is it is on an unbroken aisle, and closer to the front (and concessions, if that is a consideration)

[Mike Bray]

i see what you meen in the unbroken isle and close to the concessions is OK i guess -- the last several years i`ve gone though it seems that the better stuff is closer to the front and or center of the room , not that there isnt any good material over on that side .. that was my reasoning for #320 -- but like i said both are good spots

Join Newsarama's Zack Smith as he sits down with two of the biggest artists working in comics today, who also happen to be old friends. Frank Cho (Liberty Meadows, Mighty Avengers) and Brandon Peterson (Ultimate Vision, War of Kings) are not just talented illustrators, but hilarious guys, so this is sure to be a great discussion.

the reason I like 213 is it is on an unbroken aisle, and closer to the front (and concessions, if that is a consideration)

Pick whichever one you like. I always feel like the junky stuff is on the fringes. I didn't like Bob Storms' booth in Detroit because it was on the edge, close to the popcorn vendor and somebody doing foot massages.

Hire an attractive young lady to stand in front of your booth. That would tip the scales in your favor.
