If from Gerry,yes.But it may have been another guy,I believe there are two Montreal 1000 000, comix and comics.Gerry back in the day used to sell franchises.....i don't think he gets along with those folks anymore though.

The only still open franchise doesn't set up at shows, largely because people think they are Gerry Ross.

 

They also for the most part, do not sell vintage books.

You talking about the one on Yonge St?

[Citizenvain]

Highlights of day 3 were the Batman 75 panel and Barry at 1,000,000 Comics (Montreal).

 

Barry gave some of us the option of taking a healthy discount and walking away or flipping a coin. Lose and you pay at/near his asking price. Win and you get an absolute steal. Made for a fun atmosphere for the winners, losers and watchers.

Barry or Gerry?

Hope everyone had a super blast!!!! Maybe next year I'll have my porcupine costume finished and be there!!

 

Pretty sure his name tag said Barry Allenstock though I feel like a fool now after having typed that out.

 

So, yeah, must have been Gerry

 

 

I bet the book you bought is restored.

 

He's that bad huh?

 

I spent a grand total of about $80 there but I may just send the books off to CGC to see if you're right.

[thirdgreenham]

If you spent $80, it's likely not worth sending them off for grading.

[porcupine48]

And not ALL his stuff is mucked with...what did you get if you don't mind?Last I saw him,he did have a trimmed looking NM 98,so it's not only older books that are'Doctored'.He is a Dr. you know.

As an aside,I thought there was still a 1000 000 comix in Kansas,or was it Kentucky?

[Citizenvain]

Sandman 1, New Teen Titans 26, Preacher 8, 21 & 25 were $55.

 

[porcupine48]

Just look close for trimming...usually you can spot it...

Sure everything is fine...

[romanheart]

I found most of his stuff was overgraded. That would have been my first concern.

[whisp]

Well I had a great time. Found some deals and grabbed a bunch of stuff I wanted. Finally found a Moon Knight Tumbler after all these years. The booth I worked was busy majority of the time. Met a bunch of board members along with many other people and everyone was very friendly. Hope to do this again in the future.

 

Some pics of some of the stuff I grabbed. Noticed met some board members and didn't even realize it.

I missed you joining the club. Congrats!

[SamuraiJ]

Did anyone else witness the insanity that was the Andy Kubert line on Saturday?

[N/A]

Avoided.

 

And sent someone else.

[DBOi]

The gaming crowd was definitely making a presence. I can imagine video games taking over this convention quickly. All the video game booths expanded and the comic and toy booths felt smaller.

[SamuraiJ]

Yeah, one common sentiment I found was that a lot of the comic artists/dealers are starting to feel that they're slowly being squeezed out.

Gerry also posts on kijiji based out of Mississauga as Barry Allen, so I'm sure that is Gerry Ross...he should be avoided like the plague.

When I walked by the main area after getting some sigs, 2 of the top 5 starcraft players in the world were playing each other live in front of the crowd, so there was some serious business gaming stuff there.
