I'll be there as usual first tables on the left coming in the door.

 

Come on by and say hello!

 

David

 

How do I identify you and/or your table?

 

Just look at the wall display. Dave will have some of the best books in the show!

It was great meeting you David! But it was a bit confusing that a Dave and David were right next to each other hanging out and talking.

 

I'll be looking to buy a key in about a week or two. When I'm ready I'll send you a PM to check what you have at the time.

 

I bought a CGC 9.8 1982 Wolverine 1 from the guy in the opposite corner (unfortunately you didn't have one). He offered $170 for it and said he'd throw in a nice reader copy. I wasn't interested in a reader copy and I wasn't looking to pay more than $150. The 90 day GPA is $141, the last sale was $135 and it's been on a steady decline.

 

So I asked if he minded if I take the reader copy out of the sleeve and look it over. I figured if it's nice enough I can consign it to my local dealer and end up with what I wanted to spend. He got annoyed by my request, but later when I completed the transaction he apologized for his reaction. I'm not sure if I was being "difficult" by normal standards. It was my first show and I don't know the normal etiquette.

 

My daughter got a sketch done by the female artist (I don't recall her name). She was very nice and friendly.

Your first crazy Ed experience. :cloud9:

 

And he's quite the salesman! I was about to walk away when he asked "cash or credit?"

 

Just as I was starting to politely decline he cut me off...

 

"If you were going to buy it would it be cash or credit?"

 

The next thing I know I'm handing him my credit card wondering what the hell just happened?

 

No buyer's remorse, though. I had been looking for a 9.8 Wolverine 1 with white pages, I didn't have to pay for shipping, and I'm fairly confident my LCS will take $25 store credit for the reader copy. In the end it should work out to around what I wanted to pay. Plus I actually got the nostalgia of getting to read it again, which I haven't done in over 25 years.

 

I should have gotten his card though. I thought I remember seeing a nice DD 1 I might be interested in.

 

Even though he was a bit snappy at first, no harsh judgments from me. He seemed a bit stressed out at the time.

 

Crazy Ed he goes by? lol

Very nice to meet you, I hope you enjoyed your first comic convention. :cloud9:

 

I hate I was tied up with the other folks at the end of my booth and didn't give you my full attention.

 

Just shoot the PM when you figure out what you want! :hi:

 

Glad you got to met ED. He is a nice guy but he is a little different from the usual Southern Dealers. ;)

 

There will be another show in DEC. Hope you can make it!!!

 

David

I hate I missed it. Being fairly new to the boards (well, at least more active here than in the past), I'm looking forward to meeting more of the Triangle area collectors. Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day once Irene passed on through, but family pulled me away this time.

 

I'm definitely planning for the NC Comicon in Morrisville in November. It should be fun!

How big is that event going to be? I've been wanting to go to one of those whacky ones where people dress up and stuff.
