hm I might be able to make it. Only snag is it's right after the New England Wrestling tournament for Independent schools. SO if my wife will let me run away for a third day in a row... then yeah, I'll definitely try to be there. Nice selection last time and a few boardies to boot!

Took the boy up to Windsor and caught this show. Once again, a great local show to attend for those of you in the area. Very spacious for the size of the crowd (which was healthy during the time I was there) with LOTS of good lighting. It's been nice since the two times I've taken him to a local show (the first time being last month to the Plainville Show), he's done a fine job of relaxing and being happy in the stroller.

 

I found there to be a nice mix of trade paperbacks, and comics from all ages which is great--kinda get bummed when all I find are the reprints of modern issues from the past two years alone. I also seemed to see a lot of the Fawcett Captain Marvel titles from the Golden Age--nice if you're into them. Plenty of other books from all of the other mainstream titles for Silver-Modern ages as well. Fair spread of wall books--always enjoyable--and lots of long boxes for digging through.

 

Anyhow fun time and I'm looking forward to the next one! :applause:

Good, fun show for those looking to buy cheap readers. Good show for picking up lots of inexpensive comics for kids. Lots of 50 cent, 2, 3, 4 for a dollar type sellers. I found a pretty nice Conan 24 (1st series) for $8.

 

I'll probably go again, but my comic soul cries out for dealers to come to CT shows that deal mainly in older comics. Well, at least I have the Boston show in April. Now, that's not to say there wasn't any older books. Certainly there was. It just seems like the 2, 3, 4 for a dollar sellers out numbered them handily.

Yeah, probably 5-8 of these long boxes per 1 Bronze-Silver long box. When were you there? I was the dude with the stroller from about 12:30--1:45pm ( in case you didn't recognize me w/o my ballcap ;) )

Attendance was much better than the last show, almost double. I was told that last show had about 140 paid and this one had about 260.

 

I think I might have seen you there, iirc there was only one guy with a boy in a stroller. (Is he big for his age?) I was with my wife and had my little blonde boy that looks like Butters on a monkey leash (it's a little monkey backpack that has a "tail" that's a leash :grin:)

 

There was a dealer there was some nice original art, I don't see that much at CT shows. He had a bunch of slabbed books too, maybe a Board member? I didn't recognize him, and I see the same dealers at every show (many since Hal the Bookie's East Hartford shows).

Yeah, my boy is plenty big for his age--only 7 1/2 months old but typically gets mistaken for being a year old! lol

 

I think I remember seeing a woman with her little boy come up and smile and wave at Noah. I wonder if that was your wife and son? hm

 

That dealer (I'm totally blanking on his name doh! ) recently started coming to the Plainville shows as well--this being his first at the GG and he's a really cool guy. We chatted a little the last time, but today I think we spent a good 20+ minutes chatting about the SA and GA markets. And it's really nice because he brings a lot of good artwork--especially Savage Sword of Conan.

 

Sorry we didn't link up but chances are good I'll still be the guy with the stroller next time so feel free to say hi! :grin:

Yup, that was my wife and kid :) (He was wearing a Spider-Man shirt) I saw you at my friend Greg's Kalagian's table (Armenian guy who co-runs the show). Ryan was saying hi to all the kids at the show. We were trying to figure out how old your son was, he's a bruiser! (And I mean that as a compliment, I wish my kid had a little more meat on his bones). Next time I see you at a show I'll say Hi :hi:

I think I was gone by then. I like to get to the shows as early to opening as I can.

Good news! Hopefully, it will continue to climb. We need more shows in CT.

There's one in Waterbury at that time and also one March 7 in New Haven with Ron Garney as the special guest.

 

I know they're smaller shows by comparison, but I love the fact that there is a rise in the number of shows here in CT. We certainly have the collectors for it! :headbang:
