I didn't make it last year. How does it compare to this years Rose City Comic Con. Has anyone been to both?

[Meta4]

I went to both. Its in the same space, but a bit bigger (more booth's) I also thought the

prices were noticably better at wizardworld.

[Apollo34]

Thanks Meta! Better prices are a plus!

The prices were a lot higher at Wizard World compaired to Rose City. I'm talking entry fee and celebrity related things.

[Meta4]

Entry fee was more, and the celebrity tickets probly were higher. What I noticed was dealers had their books priced much more competatively at wizardworld, maybe because its bigger and theres more "out of town" competition there? Not sure what it was, but it was noticable.

I am thinking of going, Be my 1st con and it could be alot of fun. How is it when compared to some of those in larger cities?

[aardvark88]

For the Pacific Northwest, I would say Seattle's Emerald City comic-con in April, 2014 has more artists, inkers, comic vendors, independent press, crowd control than the growing Portland, OR Wizard con. Seattle has Half Price Bookstore chain while Portland has Powell's Books and their bigger inventory of books, graphic novels, paperbacks, etc.

Anyone witnesses CGCing this event? Looking to get some books signed.

[Joel Elad]

CGC will have a booth at the show if you want to go get a witness at the show. Not sure who's facilitating the show besides DWC since there's the Amazing Arizona show and the Cal Comic Con the same weekend.

[TXReplicant]

Any facilitators going to WW Portland?

 

I have one blue label slab I'd like to turn in to a yellow label!

 

Thank you

[Meta4]

Cgc has a booth there, and the employees acted as the witnesses last year. I got my x men 142 signed by chris claremont this way. While i'm not an official facilitator, I would be happy to take any books that fellow boardies want signed there and have the cgc employee witness the signature and submit them for grading. Im exited to get a few neil adams signatures myself.
