That place is going to be mad crowded.

I'm in for the 2014 show at the convention center. Put me down for a double end cap!

[JiveTurkeyMoFo]

Just got back from the show....it was an absolute madhouse! The place was jammed like you wouldn't believe! If the fire marshall would've been there, he might've shut the place down. This show has to move to a bigger venue, as its clearly outgrown the Doubletree....It was still wall-to-wall people at 3pm. Will post some pictures of my scores later tonight. No major purchases, as there was definitely a dearth of "big books" in the room, but lots of odds and ends and great dollar bin finds. Looking to go back tomorrow with the family, though I cant imagine staying there too long if the crowd today is any indication of how the place is going to look WITH Maggie from the Walking Dead there.

First off, the limited Edition Joe Jusko Print is fabulous! Well worth the $30. Luckily, I was one of the first to reserve mine, so I received # 4/100.

 

 

Both with dust jackets intact. Courtesy of Earl Shaw. $15 for the pair.

 

 

Can you believe the stuff you can still find in dollar boxes? Caliber Presents # 1-4, Tales of Teen Titans # 44, a run of Watchmen, Deadpool miniseries, Dave Stevens covers, etc.

 

 

And the better books from today's haul. Most everything is high grade (VFish or better), including the Beware # 9 which would be a borderline 8.5/9.0 with a press. The FF # 52 is a sweet 7.0/7.5 that I nabbed for $125. Considering the last certified 6.5 sold for $395, I should do well with that one.

Yeah, that was ridiculously crowded. Looking forward to a bigger venue. Not sure if people were spending money though or just there for the costumes.

[Timely]

I looked for you at the show, but the place was so crowded I could hardly find myself!

[Pike's Comics]

Definitely great show so far! Thanks everyone who stopped by and said hi!
