I did not get to stay as long as I wanted, but the event was hopping. Great sellers, tons of great books. 

Here are a few photos of some of the average books that were kicking around. 

And the book I had Sterenko sign for my son.

@AmazingComics413 how was your show? Did you move a lot of books?

[Dick Pontoon]

While we're waiting to hear....

I did pretty well. I picked up a nice, small stack of books. The previous show I got a mid-grade X-Men #10, but nothing major for me this time, mostly run-fillers and upgrades. Prices at some tables were a bit aggressive, although out of touch may be more like it. The show seemed well-attended and some tables were difficult to squeeze into but the aisles were at least navigable which was not the case in Boston a few weeks back. I don't really do detailed reports with photos like I used to, but here's some of my pickups:

Looks like a fun show guys!

I like the fact that small shows like this are bringing back the fun of the old days.

These smaller more “comic book centric” shows are what this hobby needs.

I see the big corporate “media shows” on the down swing. They have grown too big for the “little guys” who are there for actual comic book collecting.

I did notice that WonderCon a month ago was WAY scaled down. It was almost a show within a show. The big guys are hurting.

First, I want to comment on the Cap 164 pictured above, One of My favorite bizarro covers 

  Featuring Falcon as  a werewolf , with an AFRO ! AWESOME !

    I won't comment on my own pricing But I will say,  some of the dealers had very good Prices . My Partner had ONE of his BEST shows ever, And I spent a lot more then I thought I was going to 

   I totally agree That the Corporate shows Have become problematic, The Ticket prices I think keep a lot of Potential Buyers  out, And the booth investment makes doing the show a tough choice 

   Appreciate the Photos, Especially Liked the Tec 27 with a $1,000,000.00 price on a little orange Post it

That booth was interesting. The dealer had a couple small racks of books, maybe two or three dozen total, including a bunch of pulps. Very underwhelming display. And then you look down at his table and BAM Detective 27 in a glass display case.

Carbo was hanging about it when I went by that table. It was still there when I made another pass.

He had a Marvel Mystery on his wall rack, too, but I'm not schooled in those enough to pick out issues numbers by the cover, especially with so many Torch covers.

Carbo has been bringing it out for a couple of years. I believe from the Bob Kane bound volume. It does not belong to him. A “consignment” book. Why they would allow him to do that
