The last show was the best one I've been to at that location. The place was packed, and new dealers brought in some great material.

 

Looking foward to seeing you and the local gang there

 

[RedFury]

You too, buddy! (thumbs u

 

And yes, the turnout for the last show was amazing. Great to see the aisles packed with people.

 

Derek tells me there's going to be a costume contest this time. Should be fun!

i'm thinking of making this show but stopping at some local comic shops first

I will be there with a bunch of new material again. Look forward to seeing the locals at this fine establishment.

 

Maybe they will even let Bill in....

I'll sneak in wearing a disguise if I have to

[Taco]

I'm going to have $1 less to spend this time because they weren't passing out fliers last show for this one.

 

But I mostly buy modern issues, so I'm excited to see what my typical dealers buy out from NYCC to sell to me.

Looking forward to this show, hoping many of the dealers bring cheap stuff.

Is anyone from the Rittenhouse area going in the morning for a few hours? I haven't been approved for Zipcar yet and don't have a car to get there.

Fairly short cab ride from there.

Yeah. I think I'm going to take the train to the airport since I have a pass and then just cab from there.

On my way down

[Jking3437]

Pretty good show, picked up a couple books only.

 

Highlights

 

Avengers 55

Next men 21

Walking dead 92 for $20 great deal

 

Really wasn't able to get a big book today, was looking at a couple a little to pricey though.

I hate having my phone with me because I will sit and check eBay for recent sales, wanted a nice VF copy of a silver age 1st appearnce of a villain such as #234 two face. Wasn't able to get one though, some beater copies out there.

 

Still kicking myself for not getting that ironman #1,

 

Highlights from dealers

 

Dude from basement comics from Maryland had some really nice books and was really friendly sat and talked to him for a way. The dealer from Pottstown had crazy low prices mostly 50% off what his sticker prices were.

 

Nice seeing Taco down there he had some great pickups like that captain Britain. Was hoping to see some other boardies but no one there

 

That's it

 

Jim

[Taco]

I definitely had some good pickups today.

 

Right when I got there I went table to table buying an VF or higher Harley Quinn #3.

 

My highlight pick ups were definitely Captain Britain #1 (with the mask) and 8.

 

And I had to finally get New Mutants Annual #2 because it's the first time I finally saw it at a con since I started looking 4-5 ago. I also got TWD #19, 27, 53, and 92, Fantastic Four #45 (low grade), X-Men #14 (very low grade), and Nova #1. The FF and X-Men was from a Pottstown area shop that was selling everything for 50% off his prices.

 

And Captain America #186! Finally!!! I went to every table last time and no one had any.
