Torpedo Collectors Con 2021 3 3

Enjoy the con reports and photos.  Looks like a great show with a lot of great books.  Gotta go to this show next year.  Nice to see us getting back to comic shows and a more normal life.

So this is kinda funny- my bike was stolen last week so I just laid down a chunk a cash replacing/upgrading it. So decided no torpedo this year for me. Then this afternoon I was scrolling through this thread, checking out jwkyles report when my eyes spotted one of my grails in grade. I zoomed in to check PQ but couldn’t quite make it out. So I jammed out there praying it wasn’t cream (I put cream in my coffee not my comics). Got there, book was still there, w/ow. Sold and stoked!  Seeker’s Eye we’re great guys and shared a cool OO story behind the book. Thanks JWK!

@Black BatI think i looked at that book it was nice I just didn't have that type of cash on me. Those guys had a small booth but had some stunning books, they had some pre code horror that were drool worthy. Glad i posted this now and it resulted in a good sell for the buyer and seller

Oh and sorry about your bike.

Great sketch!  Anyone happen to get pics of some of the 'art walls' at Torpedo?  If so, please post!  Thanks,

I want to say that John ran a great show.  Customers were 99% wearing masks,  they were very respectful in social distancing and the crowd flow was good.  I don't think that show prices were too crazy.  I was able to buy a few things that I needed for customers.  Not seeing my west coast inventory for over a year was like having Christmas all over again.  

Thank you to the customers who stopped by.

Nice to see old friends at this show.  Picked up a nice Batman #245 CGC 9.6 from Dale.
