I would like to thank you for the great contributions you make to the boards!

Your thought provoking and insightful posts are a welcome relief from the mundane, trivial, and inane ramblings found here.

I will be selling at this show. My inventory has expanded greatly since the last Springfield show in Feb.

 

I talked to James who runs First Aid Comics when I was at Wizard St. Louis last weekend and he will not be attending so I may move into his location this show. Anyway the room is probably 25 x 60 so it won't be hard to find me.

 

This is a great little 1 day show that draws 100 or so people which may not seem like a lot but you can bet 90% of the attendees are at the show to buy comics. The other 10% got drug to the show by the spouse or parent.

 

adm22 is the promoter of this and several other good 1 day shows across the mid-west of which a few of them I sell at. He comes on here every couple months and will list these shows at one time. He will list them on the calendar as per the rules.

 

He does not list them 1 year or more ahead of time or before the current show has even taken place as I have seen with some event threads. This to me would be too early.

 

It seems to irritate some board members that this is done at one time but again no rules are broken. Just let nature take its course and within a few days they will drift off the first page into oblivion and not ever be seen again. Let the promoter have his 15 minutes and all is good. If it seems necessary for someone to bump numerous events just for the sake of bumping to expedite page 2 oblivion I'm sure I can bump them back to page 1.

Show is this Sunday.

 

I have picked up about 4 collections in last month and I will be viewing a Silver Age collection on Saturday that is out of the Chicago area so I may have that with me also.

 

Anyway I will have over 20 long boxes at this show that is new inventory that I did not have at the Feb show in Springfield.
