I just checked their handout which I had picked up a few months ago and it says $22 for just the one day on Saturday.  :screwy:

Didn't this convention start out at something like $7 several years ago and I certainly don't think inflation is running THAT high and I don't think they are giving us anything more for this egregious money grab.  :mad:  :censored:

Harley not there but Ferd (original art) brought his buddy who is selling scarce Marvelmania for a 'reasonable' price. Last time I saw both their collections was at Calgary Expo. Several collectors going to PNE Show on Sunday for $15 general admission, as BLI con is tomorrow Sat.

Well, hopefully the show at the old  Forum Building turned out to be a good one for everybody sine it's been a long time between shows.  (thumbsu

Ferd's Wpg. group did well selling the restored ASM 1, trade for vintage EC original art plus cash for HoS 92 bottom staple spine restored. Some comic vendors sold twice as much on Sunday compared to Sat. but most dealers sold far more on day 1: Sat.

* next Van. Comic and Toy Show April 6-7, 2024 * and sadly, @Fan Boy has retired from selling at this huge PNE con but will continue to support and vend at the growing 1 day summer August 2024 Westcoast Comic Con.ca. in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Guess Ferd didn't have any nice high grade GA books at the show like he did a few years ago then?  :frown:

Sorry, Ferd had left his funny animal high grade at home this time as he was rotating his stock. The fresh $$ original art walking around the con was very unexpected $$ this past weekend.

Well, not so much funny animal or low grade romance which he had been bringing to the past few shows, but books more like the uber HG Seven Seas which he had brought to the con several years ago prior to Covid and that has nearly quadrupled in guide valuation since that time.  :luhv:  :takeit:

As for $$ original art, not only zero interest but also far too late for me to throw my chips in for that game there.  :p  :frown:

Video of vintage comics, toys, wrestling collectibles. 1 dealer bought over 500 used VHS tapes (horror, non-mainstream titles) on the Friday evening. 400 dealer's tables plus artist alley tables.
