LOTS!  Elbow to elbow most of the day...

Just curious what a comic book only show draws at the gate these days?

If you squint, the 1st Dr Fate More Fun #55 is missing centerfold and , I believe, the covers are married to coverless  interior but still quite collectible.

Here are a couple River City pedigree books I picked up from a Brian Peets at the show. I had a great show for buying and selling. Nice to meet a few more board members this year as well.

This has become my favorite show of the year. It really feels like a comic show. Only bought a few books, but they were ones I was really happy to get. The Saturday trading room thing was an a blast!

Oh, and met a lot of board member I hadn’t before!

If I had gone I would have saved about 1.5 days of my life

This is just a wild guesstimate but this one seemed to have 900-1000 people in attendance throughout the day. 

Maybe someone has real numbers here.

900-1000 is amazing of serious buyers

Thanks Rick. That’s impressive and the show seemed like a resounding success.

Rob Liefeld walked right in the convention without waiting in line. I had a couple cards I asked him to sign but he said he wasn’t signing and was there like everyone else 

 

Sounds like a contradiction here if he there like everybody else, and yet he just walked in without waiting in line.

Exactly  Unannounced no one was expecting him to be there so it’s not like everyone had stuff for him to sign. I’m sure most people didn’t even know who he was.

Liefeld was the 'artiste' with the sign that said '$50 to initial your New Mutants #98 RLd' for Cgc $$ or free to sign Young Blood #1.

My favorite purchase at the show, thanks Brad.

I was by Terry's  booth most of the day.  I heard one of the workers mention the crowd ad being 500. Vs only 350 last year.  I did not get there til 11.  While i had trouble finding parking thete was no line to get in.  It was very crowded inside until at least 3pm
