Looks like I really underestimated the amount of Silver and Bronze in this collection...I thought maybe 2,000 of the 5,000 were 40-centers and earlier, but it turns out after I resorted everything that 13 of the 20 longboxes are SA and BA.

 

So, if you want to buy 30-50 year old books wholesale for a couple of bucks a piece, come see me at the Tampa show.

Tell me about it...I hemmed and hawed about buying this collection for over a month, now it seems it was a no-brainer.

I am looking forward to this show (only the 2nd time driving to Tampa from South Florida) hopefully JoeP will be able to come or send someone from CGC to witness books, he told me he is hoping to have an answer to that question by early next week.

It's official...I'm going to have a wall display. :acclaim:

 

After procrastinating for months, I finally went to Lowes yesterday, spent $55 on materials, and devoted two hours this morning to building the darn thing. Looks pretty good too, if I do say so myself.

 

Now, I just have to find and price some wall worthy books. hm

Only 4 days to go! :banana:

 

Everyone stop at Jive's booth and buy a handful of X-force #1s! :kidaround:

 

I'm tempted to take a stack to leave there with him. :hi:

Seriously though, I just gave away 2.5 long boxes at a garage sale last week which contained all my X-Forces including about 15 copies of #1. Glad to be rid of them.

 

 

 

It doesn't look like I'll be going to this one as there's a family function that day.

I think the promotions department is doing a great job... a 6 page thread for a one day fl show...must be a record :applause:

 

I hope to do at least a moderate amount of sales at the show...I'm really looking forward to seeing what the new Braintrust has put together for its first outing.

 

Final tally for me is that I'm bringing ning longboxes of $3 Silver/Bronze books, and eight longboxes of dollar books from the 80s/90s. There are quite a few $10-$25 (in the Guide) type books in the $3 bins for those willing to take the time and go through them. There is nearly an entire longbox of Dell/Gold Key in the $3 bins as well, and I didn't realize how pricey some of the Turoks, Magnus, and Solars get....but again, $3 gets em. The dollar books are also not too shabby. Trust me, if you are willing to do a little digging, you'll find some good stuff in there real cheap so make sure to stop by.

 

Oh, and then there is the wall stuff, lots of $20-$200 type books with bronze and Copper keys, plus some Silver, and even high grade Atlas war thrown in.

 

Looking forward to seeing the Usual Suspects again this weekend. :applause:

 

And I got some extra help at my booth to boot, as Mr. Christian Slade will be setting up with me and will be available to sell and autograph his many fine books and works of art. (thumbs u
