Last year there was a decent selection of dealers. This year looks like it will have a good selection of comic guys too.

This won't be much of a con report, mostly just some observations. There were a TON of great books in the room, a ton of good comic dealers as well.  Unfortunately pricing was still recovering from "Covid Pricing".  Most books were still priced at 2020-2021 prices, and many of the dealers I spoke to were not willing to budge.  There were many books I would've loved to buy but priced at $500 with a current GPAs around $110.  I checked on many books and found double and triple current GPA prices. (I know that GPA gives us a snapshot of the market, but geez...) From the conversations I had, or overheard, the comic dealers did not do well at the show. Hopefully some of the boardies that were there/selling had a good show. 

The guest list was a good mix of newer comic talent and older comic talent.  Comic artists had consistent lines and people were spending good money on sigs/CGC/exclusives.  I was working for Agents of Slabs/Scotts Collectibles tables as a witness for CGC and we were slammed Friday/Saturday and decently busy Sunday. The Exclusives at the Scotts tables never really slowed down and were selling all show long until print runs were done.  

My only pick up from the show was this beautiful Tetsuo piece from Fernando Blanco. Here's a panoramic pic from our table at the end of the Scotts row. This is a very fun and busy show and can't wait until next year!
