I went today. Not a bad show, though kind of light on high-grade silver material. I was looking for Journey into Mystery books 7.0+ and there was less than 5 copies TOTAL in the room. I know it's a hot title right now, but sheesh! Silver across the board was there in copious amounts, but lower-grade more common material.

How was the crowd? Meet anyone?

Only a few days away! :banana:

 

Hope they let me on the plane this time... I was almost "Denied Flight" on the way to Austin... lol

 

 

They did that to me and my friends. However, in hindsight, i understand why now. We were coming back from a bachelor party in South Beach, still drunk from the Clevelander hotel, and sitting by the emergency exit on our flight back to New York.

 

Ahhh... The Clevelander... Good times

Quick show report

 

Huge crowd.......maybe even more people than we saw at the NC Comicon the weekend before. Unfortunately for me, that didn't translate into equal sales.

Did about 1/3 what I did in Raleigh. Lots more competition in the room though.

 

I saw boardies

 

jeBailey - thank for helping us get loaded in on Saturday morning

 

TopNotchMan - thanks for the buy

 

RICK_STARR - again....thanks for the buy. Wish I had pulled the trigger on the Baker books...... (for $50.... I should kick myself)

 

jimjum12 and his two partners in crime :kidaround:

 

sborock - he spent most of the weekend at Shelton's tables beside me

 

gregreece - good meeting you!

 

and I'm sure some other people I'm forgetting.

 

Great buying show though. Picked up a GL #9, an Archie #50 and a pretty nice Jungle comic(can't remember the #?)

 

A stack of westerns for $3 each that I know I can sell to the cheap a** customers I have for these lol

 

Also spent a bunch with Jeff Weaver.......he had some super nice stuff in his $2 boxes. Also bought a Showcase #18 plus some DC war and a few low grade Wonder Womans from him.

 

Also spent a bunch with Richie Muchin. Know you either love or hate Richie, but I've always enjoyed the guy.....he's quite a hoot. lol

Well darn, hate the cash flow wasn't good, makes for a long weekend if the huge crowd isn't buying. Same amount of work with 1/3 the reward. I'm going to try and throw a little green at you at Lyn's show :)

Al was pretty negative about this show, saying he packed up early sunday morning and left it was so bad. I did hear it was a decent buying show though.

 

Yes, he did pack up Sunday morning and leave.

 

There were lots of "new comic" people at the show I would suspect.

Probably not as many vintage buyers as what we saw at the NC Comicon the weekend before.

I dropped over 1K on Sunday with dealers I did not get to spend time with on Saturday, looked like a knee jerk reaction to me to leave early.

 

Jimbo I was the one finishing up looking at books at Greg's booth on Sunday afternoon, we switched places. (thumbs u

......I wish I could've been there both days. The guy next to Gene (Victory Comics ?) had some NICE stuff in his half price boxes. I wish I could've been more thorough. GOD BLESS...
