TorpedoCon 2024

I bought my ticket a few weeks ago.  At WonderCon, a couple of dealers confirmed they will be setting up at TorpedoCon. 

It seems the promoter likes to wait until the last minute to update the web site with details about dealers, guests, etc.  I would prefer he not wait to do that, but I'm not the promoter.

I plan to attend although haven’t bought my ticket yet.

I agree about updating their website. I will go either way but sure would like to know what dealers will be attending. You know, they know by now. Just added incentive for those on the fence. WonderCon was just as bad. No list until a week or so before the show.

A couple years ago, Torpedo pulled the plug on their show. They said it was a “schedule conflict” but I suspect it might have been due to lack of pre show ticket purchases. I believe a lot of folks were waiting to see the dealer lineup. It is, primarily a vintage comic buying show. I would sure like to give my money to CGC at the show for some grading as well! 

So, that being said, I will put my money where my mouth is and buy my ticket this weekend.

I was looking for details on this as well.

 

Looks like there are two other shows in the area.  COmics and Cocktails on 6/22  and the SFV  quarterly con  on 6/29

Not much in details on either of those events  either.

Yeah, still no exhibitors list that I can find. Bad move on the part of the promoters. This is primarily a buyer/seller show. 

Are you looking at the right site?  They have a vendor list on the site.  Go to www.torpedocon.com, not torpedocomics.com (same people, though) - there's a list of vendors there with some big names in it.

I am planning on going in the morning 

 

Was hoping to see some pics from todays show

Since I have expanded my want list from Four Colors to include Classics First Prints , and Mad Comics only I  incorporated all those into my 1 page tracking spreadsheet. I was so happy with the results  that I figured out how to include the few of the actual missing four colors that I am still missing into a few of the available spots

2024 torpedo show was a very good show.  

If you are not into going to SDCC or having issues getting in there are a lot of National dealers doing this show that gives you "first shot".  

Admission fee is also cheaper,  Hotel room is very nice.
