Great line-up for a show, really looking forward to it.

 

These stars won't be around forever - for example, Gail Kobe who starred in two episodes of the original OUTER LIMITS just passed away. Best to see them while we still can.

 

See you there...

The problem with having a CGC SS rep there is that a minimum number of books have to be signed and submitted in order to get approved as a CGC event, and I'm not sure if that would occur for this event. Check the Event Announcement thread, perhaps the October Hollywood Show will be approved but I'm not sure if Yvonne is attending that event.

 

Regardless of CGC SS status, there's still an interesting mix of actors and actresses to meet as well as a variety of dealers to shop from. See y'all there, I'm probably making the drive up from San Diego.

Me too, but no Terry's Comics however - I always enjoy scouting his booth.

 

I'm guessing travel and con fatigue (he was in Chicago last weekend)...

 

Famous Funnies#209 with a Frank Frazetta Cover graded CGC 9.4 with White Pages.

 

 

I think that's the Cosmic Aeroplane copy, and it's just killer - pedigree Frazetta. :cloud9:
