WW wins because of on site grading

 

Books it's even for me. Most of the dealers are at both shows :shrug:

[Chicago Boy]

good point on site grading and pressing is a major plus as c2e2 continues to grow I think we will see it there shortly

[DR.X]

so now it looks like we have boardies threatening other members because of what con they think is better. I smell rubber burning. give me a fricking break.

[Jeffro.]

Good god! Threatening someone because they think one con is better than the other???

[DR.X]

I'm hoping it was intended as a joke, but then why did the post get yanked.

C2E2 has eclipsed Phil's parking lot as the go-to place to rumble

[DR.X]

I'll see if we can bring in MIchael Buffer.

So now CGC is going to do onsite grading at C2E2?

Last year what was the estimated attendance at both Chicago shows?

[TheWatcher]

C2E2 says 62,900 in 2014. The most recent numbers I could find for WW Chicago are 58,000 in 2006. I guess Wizard doesn't officially release numbers anymore. Having been to every one since '06, I can tell you that the show has gotten much bigger since then

According to last year's WW sales packets, Chicago is doing very well:

 

 

That said, I've never been. I have been to C2E2 the past 2 years and have no regrets on that choice. Awesome time.

 

Skipping C2E2 this year for a decent size con with half the drive time for me. That and WW is actually coming to my hometown later in the year too. Spending all that extra dough on hotels at distant cons leaves less money for books, and that's just no fun..

I'm not surprised that WW Chicago is this well attended. I'm also not surprised to see that Austin had really good attendance numbers, which makes their incredibly poor scheduling decisions for that con even more perplexing. Austin used to be my second favorite con of the year after Chicago, now I'm passing after passing last year too.

[Leroys311]

Any boardies setting up this year?

[XCinX-migration]

I'll happily be in attendance. This will be my 5th year, attending 2011-2014 shows. I sadly missed the first one in favor of going to Wizard World in 2010.

2 Months, 12 Days to go

[kapzilla]

I cannot wait. And I had the palmer house booked originally but was able to book at the Hyatt regency McCormick via an email blast sent by c2e2 yesterday if anyone was looking to get in there. I figured it would be nice to just walk down from my room instead of dealing with shuttles/cabs

[Jimmy Linguini]

I will 100% be there.

 

I might be working a booth, I might be walking around, who knows?!?!

 

But I'll be there.

[NYComics]

Howdy!

 

We are very pleased to be attending this show once again as Stan Lee's CGC Signature Series Facilitator.

 

You buy autograph tickets while you wait in line and we will have our CGC SS Witnesses present if you want to verify his signature.

 

See you there! We will be setup at the end of Stan Lee's autograph line.

 

Best,

Sean
