And yet even though several comic dealers from the comic section aren't re-attending they've shafted me back to the anime section...

No Way!!!! Thats tough man. As long as you're in isle 400-1000 you'll be ok i think.  It's the junk vendors in the 12-1700 isle thats a ghost town.

I'm not in isle 400-1000 ;)

As it stands 1100...same exact spot as last year.  When I rebooked they told me they'd move me and put on my application that I wanted to be moved (I did that right in front of Gurmeet).  It didn't work.

I also asked for a second booth.  I know for a fact there are several comic dealers not getting as many booths or returning.  It didn't work.

They are still placing some businesses as far as I know. People are still getting notifications of placement. I know CGC intends to be there, as does Action Labs, and the Campbell Store is definitely in.

I have to place all of the comic guests as well, just waiting for some revisions in the comics pro section.

Does anyone know what Jim Lee charges for a signature? looking to get all 29 Trading Card covers signed and witnessed

 

I'm pretty sure I heard on Fan Expo's twitter that Jim Lee will be signing only one item per person for free, not sure if that's changed or not

At fan expo dallas Jim lee did a 1-2 hour free signing, 1 item per person and cgc was not able to witness it.

they sell Jim Lee packages and I think the highest tier package allows for 3 items for CGC. If you really wanted that many books signed most likely need to hook up with a cgc facilitator who has a private signing with Jim.

Ya, In the main signing area he will only be doing RAW sigs and its limited to 1 per person. There is a special CGC jim lee package for 189.00 canadian that allows you 3 witnessed signatures. These special packages are limited to 100 people only. So if you have 29 sigs to get and you want them witnessed and slabbed your best bet is to hit up a facilitator there like Gotham Central to see if they have a private signing with Jim. I'm pretty sure his cgc siganture fee is around 25$ US per sig. 

Anyway you slice it 29 books is gonna cost you a pretty penny after grading sig fees and facilitator fees.

It was super hard for me to widdle my huge Jim lee collection down to 3 books but I went with Batman 608 2nd print, and both covers of Batman 619 (Heroes and Villains)

I am surprised David and Meridith Finch aren't going to be there. Being Canadian and all I assumed they would be!

Any idea when the exclusives will be announced?

 

I'm more shocked no Francis Manapul. Canadian as well. I always get some great remarked books from him. And he's an awesome dude to chat with.
