electricprune Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I have been asked by the city of Novi to confirm if @greggy is attending again this year. They need to prepare for police overtime to control the crowds around the city if he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Didn't think I'd be able to make it to Motor City this year but some plans changed. So, I'll probably go as I've only missed it once in the last 25 years. That said, no Dale Roberts or Bob Storms. I think Megacon is pulling the larger dealers away.

Dale always has a killer booth at this show. Same with Ted from Superworld but like you said, megacon going head to head sucks. It is silly to have two major shows going the same weekend.

This is supposedly Goldman’s last year. How this show goes this year may directly influence the purchase from one of the big con promoters from what I’ve heard.

I'd much rather go to a Con with a bunch of small dogs then hang out with a room full of big dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them has only done 1-2 small 1 day type shows and has tons of mostly “unpicked” stock in there. Those kind of guys won’t have $10,000 GA keys/high grade books but they will have tons of flipable affordable keys for the flip crowd and silver/bronze run filler for the collector crowd.

Yes, unfortunately we won't be able to make it this year. We originally had it on the schedule not knowing that Megacon was the same weekend. Hopefully next year the shows won't overlap so we can make it back to Novi. Dmac538 and SkOw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
