Garden State Comic Con

[bobbybobcomics]

Just noticed the listing on Comic Scene for this show in October. Anyone, particularly dealers, ever go to this show or set up at it. From the pictures, it looks primarily like a Toy show, and the price of admission seems pretty steep. I'd appreciate any info you might be able to give so I can determine whether or not to travel the 500 miles to set up.

I tried to email the site listed, but it was a fail. (never a good sign.)
