Robot Man Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 My first stop inside was the Zimmermans. Saul is an old east coast CT dealer that has made CA his home. He always has lots of interesting GA books at real friendly prices. Besides, I like to flirt with his wife. He had a wonderful display of art. This time however, he concentrated on art and only brought one box of comics. Unfortunatly, nothing I needed. We juved a while and I moved on to the next victim.

Robot Man Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 A couple of booths down I bumped into a fandom legend. Mike Carbo. Carbo had his dad Tony with him again but he was too busy flirting with girls to get into the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Mike had a nice case. A big run of Caps from #1 on. I asked about one and he said they were for sale a lot only. I guess he forgot he was talking to Robot Man. I didn't ask the price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 No con report would be complete with out some cosplayers. There were some very nice well done ones. A lot of professionals. Maybe because LA is such an entertainment city. This girl scared me a little... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Since he hasn't been here for a while except San Diego which I can go to any more, I made a beeline for by buddy Richard at Bedrock. He had one of the best spreads at the show. He is also one of my favorite dealers with stuff for every budget, tight grading and very friendly discounts. Since it was a little dealer light, I made several trips back to him buying stuff every time. He seemed busy and said he had a real good show. He had some great books including an All Negro, Reform School Girl and a Marvel Comics #1 among many others. I invited him over to see the junk pile but he was pretty commited and had to leave for home the next day. Here he is with a small pile of books I bought on my first stop.

Robot Man Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 I only saw a few art dealers and most of them looked pretty bored. Beccara was also there with most SA and BA art with some big prices. Scott had a nice Wolverton piece but I didn't ask the price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 My next dealer stop was Brian Peets from A1. A tight grader and pricer. He didn't have too much for me. I did buy a small pile of EC's and a nice Big Shot #28 with a nice axis/Hitler cover that I'd been looking for for quite a while. He seemed a little tired of fielding Deadpool questions.

Robot Man Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Next on my hit list was Jamie Graham. A great guy when you know him and always has nice stuff. And he brought some killer books. He had a Headline #8 (Hitler cover), Exciting #39 (poisoned Candy cover), a Cap #46 (everybody know this one), A fFght Against Crime #20 (decap cover) and many others. I got a lower grade All Winners #17 and a couple early Bats from him. Looks like I will see a lot more of him since he recently bought a place out here. Here is his wall of goodness GA style.

Robot Man Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 From Nor Cal came Sal and the boards very own Brenholt. I missed Redbeard but Sal was holding down the for for him. Sal is one of those comic guys who "gets" the "other stuff". He had a nice Capt America Sentinitals of Liberty badge as well as some other interesting items. Got a couple nice LB Cole Terrors of the Jungle issues from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Greg Reese looked a little bored. Great guy but doesn't have much GA and what he has is a little pricey for me. Was busy playing with his lap top every time I came by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
