batman_fan Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) I don't know Vincent too well but my impression has always been he was a pretty nice person with a decent sense of humor and able to laugh at jokes about him. I would also say he has to be an astute businessman otherwise he wouldn’t still be in business. That means he will have people that disagree with how he operates, part of the game. I still wish the article had covered his colonic ritual. Edited May 10, 2022 by batman_fan MrBedrock, sagii and Bronty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) I personally have had nothing but great interactions with him. No matter where we bumped into each other at a con, before I eventually made my way to his table (later Metro booth) he always stopped to shake my hand and ask how I'm doing. Whenever I visit the office, if he's in, he will come out greet me. Hard worker and champion for the ever growing exceptance of comic books in the overall culture. Well deserved success in my book.

He works hard to stay in physical shape and eat healthy, and benefits from meditation. He's also got a thing for skin care. He loves his dad, who's still chugging along independently at 95. He learned cooking from his parents and enjoys doing it. He has a good connection with his wife, which started over comic books. He loves comic books and still reads them for enjoyment. He is enthusiastic about comics as long term investments. Reprehensible. I kept waiting for something and then it was over. Just not what I was expecting. How can you profile a comic dealer without a few zany sound effects tossed in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat-Man_America Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I know Vinnie pretty well, Rox and I dined with he and his wife at a superb Italian restaurant he recommended while we were at NYCC one year. Nice guy and great host. That was the same trip we were invited to visit the studio of the impressive neorealist painter Steven Assael; good memories from that journey all around ...the only caveat being my recollection of the Javits Center where the convention was held.

hippiecop Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I dunno. I actually thought it was kinda interesting seeing the "normal" stuff he does in life. After I read all the ridiculing the article got, I actually had to check again to see if I was missing something. It seems rather innocuous. Don't quite understand all the fun being made of it...
