[Tuffy]

ugh...why did I only get Saturday passes? This is killing me.

[Pike's Comics]

Ill be walking around. Blue jacket, Dr. Suess t-shirt and a dolly with a cgc box! Stop me and say hi!

The con is going well. Nice crowd

[retrothecollector]

Nice day at Megacon. The artist are so nice!!! Can't wait to show off the sketches I'm getting done!!!

[Zaibatsu-migration]

So how do I tell who's a boardie while walking around Megacon? Is there an official CGC Boardie t-shirt program that i'm unaware of?

Over at the sportscard side of the world, we rented out a booth at a con for boardies.

Everyone on the boards knew the booths number and when you got there, it was $15 a t-shirt... at the booth you can sit and chat with fellow members, trade cards, cool your heals, etc. And you wore your shirt around the con and everyone from the boards would stop and ask your handle. Was a great way to meet everyone.

The best part?

The NEXT con, the booth was sponsored by a trading card company! They made BOOTH EXCLUSIVES. Imagine Marvel making a "CGC boards exclusive variant cover" out of only 150 or something? hahaha It started to blow up and was a great way for random con goers to be introduced to the site (and get many new members). The booth turned into a huge social gathering with freebies, giveaways, refreshments, etc.

 

Wear these name-tag stickers as shoulder patches.

One set = 2 rectangular name tags.

(Usually worn over the heart.)

examples:

HELLO

MY NAME IS

__________

*insert* CGC avatar / user name / board handle / alias / aka / shill acct

 

Or not.

Wow, Glad I got my stuff in. What about if anyone want a signature series on site?

[HugeRosen]

Wow. Cut-off already? Does that happen often?

First time I heard of it

[HugeRosen]

I'm glad mine got dropped off early. I subbed like 40 books so sorry if I took up too much space but mine are all easy 10.0's so they should grade them fast.

[5ive]

I only got 1 book in before the cut off. The rest of my commissions won't be ready til tomorrow

[HugeRosen]

I'm assuming they will open it up again tomorrow depending on how many they get graded tonight. That'd be by guess but I have no basis for this.

They usually cut off on-site shows around Saturday at noon - seeing that they're ferrying the books back to the CGC hq for this show, I'm assuming they're doing daily cut offs instead?

[BeachBum]

On-site grading was cut off at around 2 PM (2 hours after show opened)

 

That's it, no more on-site for the whole weekend.

 

Not being opened up again tomorrow.

[Evil Cody]

I think I was one of the last people that got in. 10 SS and 2 reg.

I'm at my LA Quinta room right now relaxing.

[5ive]

Well I'll have 3 books to put in tomorrow and probably wait 4 months to get em back smh oh well

Yep, at 2:22 PM. Last year it was stopped around 11:30 AM on Saturday.

I'm bummed about it as I really wanted to do onsite grading but no biggie.
