Hello folks. There will be a great mid-sized Con on June 28 at Golden Gavel Auction House, 149 North Road (Route 140) in Connecticut. The last con in March was a huge success, and I strongly recommend anyone who can attend the June con do so. There will be approximately 60 tables filled with comics from the Golden to Modern ages, and all kinds of cool stuff in between. For more information or to reserve a table please contact Scott Pellin at 860-805-7820 e-mail: shel10130@hotmail.com, or Greg Kalagian at 860-646-8310 e-mail: GKal@msn.com.

 

Thanks and hope to see you there!

 

Brian

I think it was in South Windsor last time. We need confirmation though.

 

Sucks for me, I'll be on the Cape. Oh wait, that doesn't suck. :banana:

 

 

Close. It's in East Windsor, not South Windsor.

Brian, my spatial ordering ability is crappola. About how large is this in comparison to Cliff's show?

 

My spatial ability isn't that good either, but I would say it is easily 3 times the size of Cliff's con. It's a really big room, that Golden Gavel uses for their auctions. Buried Under Comics (Brian) and The Eye Opener (Art) have both come up with really sweet Bronze Age collections recently, so hopefully the trend continues and more stuff like that pops up at this con. Peter (Learnedhand) and I have kicked around getting a table, but with six kids between us we don't have much time these days...

Jeffro is right. It's about an hour. I have made it in 45 minutes and it's a straight shot up Interstate 91. The con is approximately 1 1/2 miles off the highway. Easy drive.

I met one of the guys who runs it at the Westford show last week. I'd probably make the drive but the missus has a baby shower for our sister-in-law that day, so I'm on Dad Duty. I don't think Lil' Pontoon would handle that many hours in the car followed by a stroller very well.

Probably just as well, you would have waffled on some decent Atlas books and been bummed when someone walked by with them a few minutes later. :baiting:

I really hope I can make it to this one. It seems like every blasted comic show I make plans to attend ends up going belly up on me. :eek:

 

Granted, I don't have a ton of money after my latest pickup, but still, it'd be fun even just to go look at funny books and talk shop with fellow collectors.

I talked to Scott about it this weekend, he was going to check if there were tables available. I need to follow up with him today!
