I think your talking about basement comics. Al stoltz is a great dealer with a deep inventory. He stocks everything from rare gold to copper plus he always has some cool items you don't see often. Last year in Baltimore he had a copy of eerie 1. I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing it. I hope he is in philly this weekend as well.

decent show today, still not as many bargain books as I'd like, but there were a few and I picked up some decent stuff. Also picked up The Strain #1 at an excellent price, since I didn't need a perfect copy. Much cheaper than I could have gotten one for on eBay.

Show was good today,

 

Only picked up 3 books though, I had a pocket full of cash and ready to spend but it seemed there was no keys or mega keys avaliable today. Talked to a dealer and he said that during the summer the stock of books were depleted, hoping November 16th there are a little bit of a pretty selection available
