The official "Show us your loot from Chicago Comic-Con 2009" thread!

[mschmidt]

Figured it was time for people to start showing off their submissions, purchases & trades from the 2009 Chicago Comic-Con.

 

Compared to previous years, there was a noticeable drop in the number of vendors & creators who were present, but I still had a great time over the last 4 days - and it was awesome to meet & re-meet a ton of boardies.

 

Special thanks goes out to mutantkeys, jonjesper, unknownworlds, gothamcentral and desertwind comics for taking great care of my books, to the CGC people who worked their asses off all weekend, and to klozd24seven for letting me loiter in his booth for hours on end - 'twas a pleasure being around you all.

 

Anyway ... on with the loot!

On-site grading means instant gratification - and nothing's better than getting some sweet Daredevil's back (the one on the left is an Oakland copy).

A bunch more on-site submissions ...

 

A stack of Sandman's I needed for my registry set:

 

That Johnny the Homicidal Maniac #1 Special Edition is not an easy book to find in

high grade - I thought this was a 9.6, but oh well.

 

Death: HCOL #1 Platinum triple-signed by Chris Bachalo, Dave McKean and Mark

Buckingham - courtesy of Desertwind comics. Fables #1 signed by Alex Maleev.

More Sandman goodies - the one on the left has a Sandman sketch by Jill Thompson

(who was rather confused by the whole windowbag concept)

No - I never have enough volume to do a pre-screen ...

 

All the books I've shown in this thread were submitted raw by me (apart from the Sandman #50 Platinum, I bought that slabbed from JJ).

[BeachBum]

I don't think on-site submissions are eligible for pre-screens. It would take up too much time I think.

Those GA Sandman commissions are HOT! Great art, indeed!

Nice Daredevil # 2. I submitted a # 5 I bought off Motor City last year that was graded a 9.2. Came back today 8.0 .

I'm sorry to hear that - did you think it was a 9.2 as well prior to the submission?

Yeah, I've been wanting a piece from him for some time now - he's definitely not cheap, but he really delivers on the larger commissions.

Well, when I bought it last year I didnt have the eyes I have now for grading. When I bought it, at the time I thought it was more like a 9.0, and they did lower the price a little. After I started getting a little more in tune with the upper grade books, I really didnt think it was going to come back 9.0 or higher. I did think it had a shot at 8.5 though. But, it is what it is. Still a decent book though. But I did snag a nice # 16 Daredevil at the show. CGC 9.0.

I bought some serious junk.

 

 

[Bomber-Bob]

Michael, I am blown away by your submissions, excellence all around.

Congrats on the 10.0's, you were right ! What time did you finally pick them up ?
