Whose booth is this? Contact info?

Never been, but always wanted to go.

OAF Con looks to be unique in the nation. Where many of those '1st gen' guys congregate. That ground-floor 'fanzine generation', for lack of a better term.

Alas, MANNUP Collectibles didn't have a wall for this show, ...

 

 

... but we did have quite a few kewl drool worthy books on hand!

 

 

And the charmingly effervescent author Rosemary Clement assisting...

I didn't make it to this one, but my mom and dad were there. I'll get the full report tomorrow, but sounds like they had a great time. The hotel was apparently a nice upgrade from last year's venue.

That hotel was crazy big. Me and my girlfriend walked around for about 20 minutes trying to find the showroom

Cool looking Cap 74 from what I can make out

 

 

The dealer was local (OKC area) and unfamiliar to me. He asked me to eye-ball his Timely's and provide grade opinions (I checked out his Cap #74, Mystic # 6 and a couple of other Caps). His prices were a little aggressive, especially given the raw status. That said, grade estimates seemed conservative.

 

Unfortunately, I didn't have my black light handy to do a resto-check, but he claimed to have owned most of the books for decades. Condition of the books I looked at bordered on high grade and appeared pressible (supple, with strong spines & few color breaks to speak of); also, the PQ was nice (OW & OW/W).

 

Had he not packed up early I probably would've made an offer on his Mystic #6.

I to get his name but I have seen him at previous OAFs. Great books but I think aggressive is a kind way to describe his prices. Bud Plant and I were looking at them together and he thought the same. Didn't try to make any offers.

 

The Cap 27 was great but way up together
