Axe Elf Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Not to hijack the thread, but I think there was a Comicon right here in Kansas City this weekend, at Bartle Hall. I've never been, but I might have tried to stop by if I'd heard about it in time. So anyway, if anyone has any info/pics/reports from THAT one, maybe they could start a different thread on it?

joeypost Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 We had an engine seize from Calgary to MSP. Had to be towed to the gate after we landed surrounded by emergency vehicles. On my way back to FLA. See everyone next year. Artboy99, piper and aardvark88 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone walked off with an expensive large statue near corner of his booth near an exit for getaway. This was reported to Calgary Expo vendor help staff. My buddy had some relatively minor Space 1999 comics lifted. Auto bank teller machines needed to be reloaded, as they ran out of cash Saturday morning. Ultimate Keys had a Secret Wars 8 stolen. I don't believe our booth was victimized (thankfully) ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been at Calgary Expos where they had 3 bays filled with vendors. I actually really liked the size of 2022 as the single bay made it relatively easy to get around from one booth to another. I escorted many potential buyers around looking for books I did not have to show them what I found when I browsed on Wednesday/Setup day otherwise known as "Dealer Day" MetalPSI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks pretty dead around the Heritage booth in your picture here and I guess nobody handing million dollar books over to them as per the sign. Any idea who these 2 guys are and since Calgary is supposed to be so much busier than Vancouver, they'll probably change their mind and skip the show in Vancouver in the end.

It makes sense that most of the Saturday attendees were there to get signatures and pictures and the like. Saturday was my best day with a ton of retail sales from the tables and a few wall books. I could have brought half the amount of table/box stock that I did and generated higher sales. It was an interesting show - the focus for my sales was definitely bronze age to current, with minimal SA and older sales. Mind you, I did sell two of the four GA books I had at the show, so if I had brought more GGA they would have likely moved.

One of them, Zach, came by our booth near the end of the show looking for consignments. I do have some GA books that will be heading their way later this year, but I need to grade them first. I am not sure that it was a great show for them. They should have contacted some of the local stores in advance to help promote that they would be there to accept submissions.

Since your books needed grading first why didn't you simply give it to them to submit it in for you since it seems that CGC tends to go quite "soft" when it comes to grading submissions from Heritage? aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
