The Dealers Room has a really good sign up covering a wide range of collectibles featuring Terence McVickers Rare Books (who will have Science Fiction paperbacks, some pulps, original art by Virgil Finlay and Stephen Fabian), FVF Comics, Alan Rutledge, Don Madision, Aladdin Books, Frances Green, Jeff Dixon, Ron Vreeken, Fernando Abarca, Jimmy Ruiz, Comics Ink, Comic Cellar, Angelo DiMeo, Alan Williams, Scott Hudlow, Galaxy of Comics, and many others. Many of the dealers at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention you won't see at other shows, and you're more likely to find some really good deals at this show.
