Free Cap poster. Nice!

[bretrigan]

Really looking forward to meeting Caity Lotz. I'll be there, for sure!

[bretrigan]

Thanks for pointing that out. At first I thought it was just another mini-poster, like you usually get at shows, but this is a full-size one sheet poster. Just one more reason I'm going.

Perhaps Mr. Schwartz or whoever is in charge of the exhibitors can make a concerted effort to bring back Terry O'Neill of Terry's Comics, Harley Yee, Steve Wyatt of BIG WOW Comics and other prominent dealers who used to set up at the Shrine back in the day. They do other one-day shows; why not this one?

This. I went to the show yesterday and it was for me slightly better than previous shows. There were 2 new comic dealers whom I haven't seen set up there before that were selling bronze to modern age books. Also, I saw a few new toy dealers with some good inventory and decent prices for a couple of them. I had a blast. Always nice seeing some old friends again as well.

I set up at the show with a bunch of trade paperbacks, quarter books and some toys. I had traffic most of the day, can't complain with my results, even shopped a little. I must confess, I didn't bring any of my older books or CGC books, but I did fine with what I brought. It was great seeing fellow dealers and a few boardies!
