Portland Comic Book Show 2/18 - Forum Meeting?

[dunefan]

 

Hi,

I just picked up a flyer at my LCS yesterday for the Portland Comic Book Show on 2/18 at Memorial Coliseum 10-5. If any forum members are planning on attending, I'd like to meet & greet. We could eat somewhere, or not.

I'll have a table at this years show. Table #82. After you enter the show floor, three sections forward, left four tables on the right. Won't be too flashy, but it'll be me and my wife at the table. Feel free to pop on by.I'm right between John Hill and David Hardesty... if that actually helps.

 

CU there!

[dunefan]

Great. I'll be sure to stop by and say hi.

Who are the guests of honor? None of the LCS in Vancouver, Canada have flyers. I'll be there in the morning only.

After-show update:

 

Things went very well at this year's show. Special thanks to my neighbors to both sides of me, I was able to sell off nearly all of my Star Wars figures from my childhood. (Thanks guys! I can't wait till next show!)

 

My wife was a little disappointed after us not being able to sell the Colossal Red Dragon we had brought. We had made a deal that if it sold at the show, we would stop at Fry's Electronics on the way back home and pick up a karaoke microphone system she has been wanting. ($130 value) Maybe later.

 

This show experience has give me cause to think. I don't have a display wall, and I think that I will need something of that nature for next time. Does anyone happen to have designs for a PVC display wall with shelves for displaying comics? I would appreciate any help on this.

 

Thanx again!

It was good to meet my first forumite. Talking to John at his table helps make it more real to me.

 

I picked up a couple books from Harley Yee (my first from him).

Strange Tales Annual 2 (F-)

Avengers 11 (VF)

 

I said, "How about a CGC discount" and he said sure thing so I saved $30.

 

There were several AF15 there but they were more than I want to spend for their grades. One table had a PLOD 5.5 for $4000.

Dunefan,

Harley's wall rack also had a coverless AF 15 that I believe he bought from another vendor at the Portland comicon 30 mins before I got to the same table. The laser copy of the poorly laser copied cover had the same magic tape along the spine that I recognized.

Totally escaped my mind. Everyone planning to go to the one in november? It's nice when dealers from out of town come, because excalibur is asstown for back issues usually.

I think my wife and I will be at the next show. I just need to make sure I'm better prepared and have some good stuff to offer. Most of my good stuff sold this year.

[dunefan]

Zanziber,

Maybe we should exchange some PM's. Maybe we could share a table?
