So, I made my way across the border and to Toronto Saturday. The show was Sunday, yesterday. Having three recent felonies on my record, I was a bit surprised the Canadians let me in, but they were gracious hosts as always.

This is a strictly comic book show. No cosplay, Funkos, swords, insurance and home window booths here. I’m guessing there were about 40 dealers and 100 tables of books. There were a ton of long boxes to look through. There were also a lot of slabs there. Should be something for just about any collector, even some Golden age books.

I picked up a few books and a few more for friends.

There were some decent deals there. I did notice that many nice bottom feeder books were slightly higher than what I usually see at shows in the US.

The room was very nice. Aisles were wide. It wasn’t uncommon to have to wait to look through specific boxes though. From what little I overheard, the dealers were happy with their sales for the day.

On the other hand, this puts you way below the average Canadian.

Alas, the only downside to the show was that the beat book there appeared  not to sell.☹️

I did make an offer on that book...he took it and was very upset at the offer, so I told him I didn't want it anymore and he replied good he didn't want to sell it to me anymore @wasonff

They call them something different, so they may not get the joke. :gossip:
