You really should attend this show. Well worth the drive down from the Bay Area. The key to this show is it is tight and very well attended by quality dealers. Not just local guys but a lot of out of state dealers. Since it is once a year, the dealers probably hold collections for this show. Just quality vintage material and tons of it. Terry "gets it" and the loads of dealers and buyers from all over the US and Canada that attend. This place was PACKED from beginning to end with happy and willing buyers. The big cons are dying for comic book people. Great quality shows like this are what we've been missing. Thanks for your hard work Terry!

We actually had a great conversation with Ciorac at the dinner,that guy has so many stories about the good ole days. (worship)

 

Bill was there now that really :censored: bet he had a lot of the books i like hm

 

All the books you like were at the two Jamie's tables and Terry's table. Never seen so much golden age DC in one room at a time. Simply astounding.

SoCalComics had a nice booth display, along with some early DC GA too.

 

Other interesting setups included Brad (F/VF Comics), Jeff (formerly of Cloud Nine Comics), and our very own Forbush Man and Robot Man.

 

Bunky didn't have a booth, but he was working the room. Superworld Ted didn't make it out this year, either.

Unfortunately I got there very late in the afternoon but was able to meet Joey who was extremely cool, knowledgeable, and gracious with his time. Saw Al from Amazing Collectibles perusing the room and working the dealers ;) and had a chance to say hi to Bob of Empire Collectibles. Lots of wheeling and dealing going on in the booths for sure. Thanks to Terry who is a great guy, and for putting on the show. I believe the Action #1 was a CGC 7.0 but can't remember what type of resto it had?

Did anyone else notice the massive pile of cracked open CGC cases in the men's bathroom trashcan?

 

I also had a great time. Thank you, Terry.

I was actually in the restroom when they got dumped in there lol

 

So was I. I was the one quietly knocking three times on each stall door asking about which books to put in my bank safe deposit box.

It had a "conserved" label or something like that. That was a weird booth. A glass case with the Flash Showcase book, an Action 1 and two boxes of beat up dollar books. That guy with the scarf looked exactly] like his photo in the Overstreet guide

Sorry I didn't make it, guys. My wife had a sudden work deadline, so I hung out with my 9-year-old all day. I thought about bringing him, but as Terry's show is all comics, I think he would have been bored.

 

I'll be at LBCC next month and WonderCon, of course.

Lets get board names so we can put face to name (thumbs u

 

I second Woowoo's suggestion. Would be great to attach names to those smiling faces!

 

(Looks like someone was nursing his margarita ? )

 

No I think it was my 5th one. :headbang:. :ohnoez:

Back home safely.

 

Sat across from Lori Loughlin on the plane.

 

Also, Brooke Smith was on the flight (best known as Buffalo Bill's kidnap victim) in the Silence of the Lambs.

Did she take the lotion out of the basket?
