Very busy today, much more so than last year and every dealer I spoke with reported the same. Keys, high grade were selling briskly. Tomorrow will be insane. CGC seems to have done a better job with on site this year as I never heard a report that on site submissions had been cut off, unlike last year.

Attended today (Friday) only. Before getting to comics, my only gripe is that the con's organizers need to get their act together next year with respect to holders of advance tickets. I waited 90 minutes in two lines this morning just to exchange my advance ticket for my bracelet. It was like waiting in immigration at the airport in Sao Paulo. I would have been better off buying a ticket at the "door" where the lines were de minimis.

 

On the positive, the larger facility is generally better than years past. Plenty of room in the aisles, and the entertainment guests have now been segregated to the side so people in line for autographs don't jam up the areas around dealer tables.

 

And it was great to see many more comic book dealers than prior years, and lots of activity in front of most dealers. Also, I didn't see as many multiple copies of keys on the "walls" as in years past, and not seeing certain keys at all, which is further evidence of market demand and limited supply on certain books.

 

Met a lot of nice folks too! All in all a good time.

Bought tickets at the door this morning at 11:55 am. Took me 45min total before I entered the floor. Not a lot of GA books. Harley Yee was there and his booth was minuscule to say the least. Not any great wall books and maybe 10-12 boxes if memory serves. He looked very small time. I remember him back maybe 10 years ago and his set up was colossal. meh, I was only there for GA comics and I'd say so-so.

A lot of eye candy though, and I don't mean books :devil:

Harley travels a lot more now than he used to and he keeps his setup smaller for many shows reserving the big setups for the really big shows.

 

There was lots of GA, you just had to look.

 

What I didn't like about the show was that there was all genres and types of dealers scattered all over the room. Comic dealers comingled with toy dealers and artists. I think it's ridiculous and disadvantageous to sellers to not have like dealers with like dealers.

 

If I was setting up I'd be upset.
