FLORIDA SUPERCON June 29 - July 2, 2012 in Miami, FL

[Par2ch]

I am planning on attending Saturday for sure. Bringing a car full of friends with me.

 

I am curious if Roy, Neal and Carmine will be charging for autos? I don't recall Perez ever charging so I am hoping that I can get some of my books signed and not go broke doing so! I'll prob CGC SS a couple at the event if I can get my hands on some good books in the short amount of time.

 

Anyone got any collector's advice on good books that will have multiple signature opportunities? I know that the Star Wars issues by Roy had art by Chaykin. Carmine also did some of the Star Wars books. Maybe parlay those into a few more autos at Celebration later in the year? Neal also did a cover or two for Roy's run on X-Men. Any other cool keys like this?

 

Roy and George dont charge but ask for a donation to Hero Inititave. (usually $1-$2 a book)

 

Neal charges IIRC $10 per signature or its free if you buy an item off his table.

 

Carmine does charge but I am not sure the fee.

 

Please keep in mind that CGC does not hold books from one show to the other any more which means that if you are planning on getting books signed at FSC they will need to be graded and in your hand by the time Celebration hits. So fast track is highly reccomended.

 

For SW Celebration you will need to contact a CGC facilitator since (as of right CGC is not setting up) luckily I will be faciliating both FSC and SW Celebration. I will be positing information about these events soon in the CGC SS events page.

Cant wait for this event! I will be riding down for Saturday only. We've got to set up a lunch or dinner for board members (even the new ones like me!!!)

 

 

[Par2ch]

I would be down for a boardie dinner, previous years I would just hang out with Joe and the CGC guys for Sat dinner.

[roastedbagel]

I'm down for this as well, me and another boardie are going on Friday though. Also, will the CGC folks be there all 4 days? Or just on Sat-Sun?

[Par2ch]

Not 100% sure but they should be there at least Friday thru Sunday

[HuBu]

A lot of great places to eat close by. I will be there only on friday.

[troydivision1]

Oh man, I was just talking about Ebas today...too bad I won't get there early enough to be first in line...

[HugeRosen]

Awesome! Will he be available for signatures through CGC SS?

[TSwift25]

Really looking forward to this one. Is there a board dinner planned?

[Miamiknight3434]

Can't wait....

[troydivision1]

Going on Saturday.

Just two books to get signed (+ a 3rd, if found at the show) and a small stack of modern drek to drop off for grading.

[roastedbagel]

Really looking forward to this one. Is there a board dinner planned?

 

I'm down! As long as it doesn't occur on Friday between 530 - 10 which is when Less Than Jake will be having their QA/signing/concert

[HugeRosen]

It says the convention hours are 12:00pm - 3:00 am but the exhibition room is 2:00 - 8:00. What is the difference?

[troydivision1]

Lesson learned last year..

That means on Friday, the videogame rooms and other stuff starts at 12, but the showroom doesn't open until 2p.

[Pike's Comics]

Anyone know if there are any con exclusive variants this year?
