Mighty Con Wheaton, IL December 13, 2014

[RCheli]

I may be doing this show -- the last hurrah until after the holidays.

 

Mighty Con DuPage County Fairgrounds

[Bomber-Bob]

I would love to attend this show but somebody has to tell me it's worth it. By accident, while attending a flea market at the same site and already paying something like 7.00 bucks to get in to that flea market, I see the Might Con. Okay, I paid the additional 5 bucks to get in and left without purchasing a thing. No real dealers, just a bunch of locals trying to dump their drek in dollar boxes.

Please tell me I am wrong, there will be some quality stuff there. I don't care about the free comic, nor the toys, nor the dollar boxes. Will anybody be there with something more than this ? I hate attending a show and coming back empty handed.

[Red84]

It's a good show with good attendance. I bring key issues and some cgc books. I recommend it.

Well according to the website, if First Aid Comics and John Hauser Comics are there, they usually have good stuff. Also If Angel Medina is there you could pick up a stetch from him.

i had the same experience. if medina will be there i may give this show a shot (if its not snowing like crazy).

[RCheli]

I didn't know John Hauser was doing shows again. I know he had some medical issues -- knee replacement perhaps? -- and I thought he stopped doing cons.

[manetteska]

If John Hauser is who I think he is, he was at the Rockford show I did a few weeks back.

 

Usually see him at shows, so didn't know he stopped for a bit.

[RCheli]

He's an older guy -- probably early 60s -- with glasses and a beard. He's from up in Wisconsin.

 

Good dealer -- straight shooter.

[manetteska]

Yeah, I think we're on the same page. I believe his son (?) was with him.

I won't be at this show, so you won't get a chance to meet me (again)!

[Logan510]

[jsilverjanet]

 

I forgive you

 

[Razor]

I will be set up at the show. This will be my third Mighty Con. Please feel free to PM me your wants.

 

Anything from Marvel's Star Comics, 80's Independent titles, Edge of Spider Verse, Death of Wolvie etc. I will have copper/modern keys, both raw and slabbed. I also have a small selection of silver age material. Mainly lower grade books with good eye appeal. Avengers #6-40, X-men #5-40 and FF #30-60.

 

I believe it is a tradition for RCheli to buy a book from me at each Mighty Con I set up at. ASM annual #2 comes to mind.

[RCheli]

Yeah, it wasn't me with the ASM Annual.

 

However, I think I may have a copy for sale -- if you want to restock!

I may go to this, would it be worth coming from Peoria, IL (about 3 hours out, give or take)?

Uh... Well, look. There likely won't be many other shows until after the holidays. You probably won't hit much traffic because it's on the right side of Chicago for you.

 

But it's more of an old-school show than a modern convention. (No cos-play, maybe only one artist, etc.)

 

If your focus is golden age, I wouldn't go. But there was plenty of Silver and Bronze and a lot of Modern stuff.

[manetteska]

My : I've gone to this show nearly every time it was in the DuPage IL area; I would not drive 6 hours (3 each way) for this show.
