 Any tips for people who  go to this convention often?  Worth paying double for VIP? 

[1Cool]

So you would pay $75 extra for getting in a half hour early each day and a t-shirt, tote bag and a print.  I'd not do it currently to get in a half hour early since the room is huge so everything won't be picked over when the regulars get in and it's not like there is a new hot book you will be running around the room looking to pull from boxes.  So is the other stuff worth $75 is the question.  My answer would be no for me.

Ah, but you’re just looking at it from one perspective.  Let’s say you want to hit the OA dealers or perhaps get on an artist’s sketch list?

that extra 30 minutes can make all the difference between a successful show and a disappointing one

In my experience those lines are not that long to make that difference. Much better to try and reach out around this time to them or their rep to see about a sketch or piece. They all do things a little different.

I'm surprised CGC isn't registered for this event yet. They typically go to Heroes Con and there seems to be even more star power than usual lined up this year.

We are doing onsite grading for comics at Heroes.

I edited my thread title too, thanks Mike! 

Also, since this was unilaterally your decision, could you please also be at Baltimore and/or one of the Chicago/Detroit shows? 

[1Cool]

Wow - that is great for Heroes!
