I would say Yea. We need Greggy to shake the ATM by its legs to emply its pockets for collector/fans. Who doesn't love Robin Hood? aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou_fine Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Anybody setting up or going to the Heritage Hall show this coming Sunday on the 9th? Just trying to figure out if it's worth the time to go since we just had the much bigger Vancouver Con at the Croation Cultural Centre only a couple of weekends ago.

Not sure, due to the movie Spider-Man Homecoming with friends on Sunday. Maybe might swing by for an hour to browse? Undecided at the moment.

aardvark88 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Sat. is the annual Mini-Comi anime convention near Olympic Village skytrain station, False Creek, then ASM: Homecoming. Sunday is Croatian Cult Ctr antique/collectibles flea market where the Brothers will be selling lower valued comics. Not everyone can be a high-roller like Mr Lou Fine to be on Metro/Comic Connect's elite mail list: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to give them a phone call in order to get one. Found out that I also had to be registered in order to bid on anything as this was the first time I had ever placed a bid for any books on their auction website. Looks like you must be the high roller as you managed to hook yourself up with a copy of the much coveted Jon Berk auction catalogue.

Best thing at HH con if you are not interested in 25c blow out comics, was a short box of 1940s to 1952 sci-fi pulps (not Nels') that sold after I cherry-picked the 3 best covers: lou_fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark88 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Not quite sure why Overstreet lists the Deadly Hands mag (Bruce Lee) nm for about $125? greggy always told me mags are unsellable drek unless it has Rocket Raccoon in it, then Hot.

I guess I've given up even trying for the past 20 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
