It was the Picture stories from American History. Mark Scott is also @Bearcatcoach, I believe.

From what I saw the prices were reasonable and the dealers seemed like they were all selling pretty well. I saw dealers buy and trade. The biggest book I saw sel was a LBCole Trilling Crime pictured. I wasnt at the table at the time but saw the new owner showing it off and talked a little with him. There was one dealer that had a lot of books that I really wanted but was only able to pick up one from him. Yes the buyer is a boardie I believe from Louisville. He showed me on the way out a couple of nice book he bought. Tony S and Raze 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there too, I made the 1 1/2 hour drive from Robinson, Illinois. Although I was somewhat pressed for time I managed to pick up some gold. I, too, was impressed with the selection and the prices. There was pretty much something for everyone at this show as far as comic books go. I made the majority of my purchases with one dealer, Mark Scott. I was thrilled to pick up a Masked Ranger #9 which is a super rare book with artwork by pretty much the entire Fleagle Gang. That book alone made the trip worthwhile for me. This was my first experience with this show but I will definitely be returning in the future! Isnt there a small shop in your town? or somewhere near you? I seem to remember going up there to see a small shop once in awhile? Great to have you BTW. The show was busier then I expected since there was also a Horror Con and another show 90 miles South of us. Raze, SlabSeeker and Tony S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know which dealer Mark Scott was, was he on the corner in a dark area? Mark is the first dealer on the right when you walk in. I tried to get him to come down for the first couple of shows. Now he is here at every show. He has a ton of books every time. Watching him set up is a clinic in comic book dealer effeciency.

Popular Post trashcollector Posted March 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2023 I have set up and attended all the shows there. Ned also a board member was there we set up as hoptown comics we just attended and bought at this one. Most dealers have decent prices where I can actually buy books which is not the case at several shows. The highlight for me was scoring a Scooby-Doo 1 cgc 6.0 from the same dealer that had the L.B Cole book.

Unfortunately I watched a LCS video last night were I saw a couple of things on the social media vid that were fmv. Through Paypal not really taxed depending on payment method, but that said... He was asked a certain question of price and said it's more $$ In store, idk, then said even MORE at cons. Argh 😂 Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argh 😂 To clarify I'm not upset nor complaining as it costs with brick and mortar and even more at cons, just what makes fmv? What I can see elsewhere online, which is hard up news when saving for the con! Especially when you're to be Lord willing excited for it. 😂 Such and such is life, and I'm glad cause I know they sell eventually or the business strategy would detour, which subconsciously makes me pay up at cons Edited March 25, 2023 by ADAMANTIUM Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t get to meet anyone off this bored which was a bummer but hopefully next year. Picked up a few books. Now I’m getting prepared for the PlanetCon in Kansas City this weekend I had an Heir To The Empire so you may have bought my copy. My booth was Isle Of Comics. Thanks for coming. I had to leave early but my buddy, Donny, watched the booth for me and said we were busy the whole time. Every show is getting better and better.
