Nice man! Hope you had a fun day! First convention in TX since last year?

Probably since 2 years ago. And this was VERY well attended. I don’t know about sales, but there were a million costumes. The organizers ran a good show. Would have liked it if more golden age sellers showed up, but these shows aren’t really their thing anymore

Yes, I was looking through the 2018 & 2019 Con Threads in the 1st post.

2019 had a lot of Golden Age, and a lot of raws! 

This year was a fairly even spread between raws and slabs, but hardly any Golden Age to speak of  

Yes @MGsimba77 This con has been pushed back to this date since May of 2020!   It's been a long time coming

Here is some scores for me and the Fam.

 

thanks to @ADAMANTIUM for the present and the ASM 362 I picked up from him!

The Something is Killing the Children foil is absolutely stunning!

Your welcome @Crops068

There was a lot of build up to this con. LCS would tease what they were bringing. Most of which I had already or wasn't per se "chasing".

I got wind that a certain dealer was to have bronze age with mark jewelers inserts. I asked questions about if they were going to be bin or wall books. They answered, they would be clearly marked in bins and there would be wall books too, as the values would be from $5-200+.

That was the first thing I searched out!

I approached and asked nicely, they turned around at the nice display and said, " mark jewelers? They'd be clearly marked on the post its!"

So I now chuckle at the fact that my goals were lost in a sea of post its

I still spotted this defenders #4 with a national Diamond insert, and about 9 other items. I won't repost everything but, these are the ndi and the ones I haggled for!

Adding pictures

I got a kick out of these bathroom pictures. I bought the Vader one for my bathroom. They had a bunch of others too. Funny concept. Thought it was weird at first, but framed and in a bathroom would be kinda cool.

Lol I like that the hulk toilet is busted!

Ahhhhhh I must have missed that booth.

Here are some pick ups. I also sent 50 books off either after being signed or for signing.

Shuri/Maestro spec. I was surprised that Dark Avengers was only $5. Looked NM+ to me. Department of Truth #2 1:25 was a good deal at $150 (they wanted $175). Last Padawan was $150 as well (probably should have tried lower price, was $175 as well). Both had no spine issues. I have 2 other Last Padawan #1's already. Thought this one was a good chance for grade bump.

Scott's did a great job with the VIP event (even though Tynion and the artists cancelled). I bought multiple of Something's Killing the Children and Department of Truth books. Sent off a bunch of my books to get signed. 

They said the books may get signed at NYCC or at least Thought Bubble in November. Fingers crossed.

I missed it on Friday, but it was right up front. Maybe they weren't there all weekend? I don't know. You can find them online. Search for iamparodyart com. I bought the boba and this batman one as well (they had buy two get one free basically)....

I ran into the star wars slab too. I didn't know too much about it but did contemplate it.

My plus one at the con found some metal signs that were really glowy or sparkly,that were buy 2 for 1 free.

I checked out some booths up front, were any of the foil comics worth it?

I noticed the Dell otto batman joker foil, which was originally a French cover I think.

I bought some of the foils to flip. Already sold some. The ones that are worth it are the Batman: Harley Quinn Ross cover, Batman 608 2nd print, Batman 608 RRP, and some of the delg'otto ones. The exclusive foils sell pretty good. I've sold a few so far. I am Batman #0 foil especially. I bought a few to keep in my PC, but most of those, I bought to flip.

Yeah, I had the original some time back, but sold it....

And of course, I had this one too....sold it, but bought the foil one and got it signed just to relieve the pain of selling the original....

Funny enough a few months back my fiance bought me this for my bathroom.....  It was already framed and was like $40. Her exact words when I pointed it out were "we have to have that".  Yep she is a keeper.

This was our setup. It was such a fun show!
