San Diego Comicon

Icebreaka — Wed, 14 May 2008 02:13:50 GMT

Who's going down to San Diego this year? My wife and I decided that its a go and bought our flight, hotel and tickets. I gotta figure on this board there must be some other boardies we can go for a drink with or meet up with at the show. Post here if you're coming. This show is really so crazy, we had so much fun last year. If you're on the fence book it. If you have a significant other or friend who's on the fence you can convince them with the fact that they'll get a chance to see some celebrities outside of the comic world. CPG unite, lets see who is coming down.

DragonCon: Labor Day weekend (Atlanta, GA)

Anybody Attending WW Texas?

Fathom826 — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 06:52:47 GMT

Just wondering if anybody was going to be attending WW Texas. I know it wont be anything like L.A.'s or Chicago's but its still fun to go to. I personally enjoy comiccon better, but my girlfriend likes WW better because there is more than just comics. I think she is looking forward to it more than i am. lol

Terre Haute Comic Book Convention

bobafettesb — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:07:15 GMT

Everyday is a good day to check out a comic book convention/show. When you live in Indiana, you don't get very many chances to check one out. Oh!, but wait! We will have our day in the sun come this August 2, 2008.

There is going to be a one-day show in Terre Haute. I haven't had a chance to go to a comic book convention since I can't remember when. I'm definitely going to check this one out though. The place is right. The time is right. The day is right. (It falls on my B-day this year. :w00t: ) Who knows? I might even be a dealer set up at this show. ;)

I know that I'm not the only one on these boards that is from Indiana or the surrounding States. Is anyone going to make the trek to check it out?

This is the information straight from the website:

[b]August 2 - NEW EVENT! ![/b]
Terre Haute, IN
The first ever Terre Haute Comic Book Convention at the Days Inn 555 S. Third St. (I-70 EXIT 7- go north 2 miles) Open to the public from 10 AM to 4 PM FREE Admission! Plus you get something cool free when you sign up for our mailing list! For info contact Alan @ (309) 657-1599

WW Chicago review

KingOfRulers — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:46:37 GMT

I didn't even take out my camera the whole time, so these are pictures from other people lol

Overall the show was quite a bit of fun. I met a lot of people I hadn't met before, and it was all a pleasure. There are so many great people in the industry, and so many friends to be made. I didn't really do that much during the show. I sold a some books such as X-men #1, Sgt Fury #13 cgc 9.0, ASM #129 and ASM #238 cgc 9.6. Everyone from the CGC boards was at the Bedrock booth. So there was books for sale there on the wall from about 15 different people. It was our homebase! I bought several super high grade Bronze Marvels and an X-men #1. Didn't do as much buying as I hoped. People dealers overgrade and/or overprice their books from what I could see. I had no idea Avengers #1 was a 1.5-2x guide book!

We had a lot of CGC forum dinners. One on Thursday near the convention center, another in downtown Chicago on Friday at a Greek restaurant. The last at and big one was at Gibsons on Saturday. I met CPG member BNeely, which was great. He is such a nice guy.

Overall a fun show. I'll be back next year!

Adventure CON

Looking like its gonna be pretty good...thinking of putting this on my "to do" list...

Wizard World Chicago 08

Kilroy13 — Fri, 02 May 2008 17:01:06 GMT

So who is going? I booked my room already (the Hyatt right next door, been there for each of the last 3 years, its a little more expensive than the other close hotels, but its worth it). Still have to buy my ticket though.

I usually drive in on Thursday early afternoon and leave Sunday afternoon.

I've had a lot of fun each of the last 3 years, and I'm not a fanboy or anything, I just like to look through comics and spend money.

Going to Wizard World to sell about 100 Silver Age books - need advice - BADLY!

gater — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:29:51 GMT

So, I am in a little financial pinch and am going to be selling off some comics at Wizard World and have never done it before, so I'm looking for some pointers.

The goods: About 100 Silver Age comics - Doctor Strange 169-182, Tales of Suspense 95-99, Tales to Astonish 97-101, Captain America 101-108, Iron Man 1-7, Fantastic Four 68-115, various Batman, Detective, Daredevil, Thor, Strange Tales, plus 80 Page Giant #12

The condition: varies - I'm no grader (and here is a lot of the problem) but they are from Very Good to Very Fine - The FFs are actually pretty nice.

The questions:

1) Do I sell them as a whole bunch? Obviously the prime picks are Iron Man #1, The 80 Page Giant, Doctor Strange 169, Fantastic Four 100 and others...

2) Do I shop them everywhere? Do I tell the dealers that?

I know they are going to say, "What do you want for them"..

3) Do I need a price going in?

The end game: I do need to sell these and I only have Friday to do it. A thousand bucks would make me feel better about my situation, but I want to maximize the deal.

I need a lot of advice - if any of you have sold at places like this, I could really use your help.

Thanks,

Justin

NYCC review

KingOfRulers — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 20:55:55 GMT

It is Saturday night right now, so there is still a full day to come but here is my review so far.

Thursday: Got to NYC around 1030am (woke up at 4am), and after my confusion in Harlem I met up with Silverage12c (Doug) at the convention center. He was nice enough to use his connections to get me in. It was only setup day so most booths weren't even open. The entire convention floor was a big mess at this time. They must have been working non stop through the night to get it ready in time. I met up with some other CGC board members that day as well as got my first experience travelling on the subway into Brooklyn.

Friday: This was a big day for me. Lots of selling. Very little buying. I can say there are a lot of QUALITY books in the room. I think the most common key book I am seeing is X-men #1. I only bought a couple of X-men books for my run on Friday. However, I sold a Marvel Mystery #47 CGC 3.5, Strange Tales #110, two Iron Man #55s (unfortunately it sold out of my eBay store that same day which is the first time that has happened to me), Hulk #102, ASM #122, ASM #129 and Hulk #181 CGC 9.4. I am trying to do some buying, but I just couldn't find anything that day. That's not to say there aren't nice books, because there are a lot of nice books.

Most dealers are okay, but as I've said before there are som really bad ones. One guy in particular who I forgot to mention before, but deserves it. The bum at Odyssey Comics. I first encountered him at Heroes Con 2006 and everytime he is void of basic manners. We were about ready to get in a shouting match this time, and the only reason we didn't is because I chose to be the pacifist actor in the dicussion. But don't let that bring a negative vibe to the con report!:) Some good or great dealers include Bedrock and JHV associates.

I finally got to meet up with Eriqui (Eric) later on in the day. He was on the hunt for an ASM #39 more than anything. Funny thing was even while being a fairly common book, it was difficult to find a mid grade copy. We walked the floor for a while looking for one, and he finally settled on a pretty nice copy from Superworld. After that we walked down from the Javtiz center to I think 42nd and 8th, and went to Chevys to eat. It was pretty expensive, but not outrageous. It was fun talking comics. Only bad part was that unknown to me the subway train I take doesn't run that late. So I took a different subway and to put it short and sweet...Brooklyn can be a scary place when you're alone at night. I was just happy to get back.

Saturday: No selling today lol but lots of buying. I bought a bunch more X-men for a collection, and three X-men to sell once I get them graded. I've been looking for an inexpensive #96 for a long time now, and just by chance I ended up buying two today. The convention was REALLY crowded. So crowded I left early because I just couldn't stand it. Too many majorly overweight anime nerds running full blast down a crowded aisle and into the pack I am carrying with books in it. I saw Stan Lee from maybe 15 feet away when I was standing in a line of probably a couple thousand people. When I was at a dealers booth I saw Romita Sr. walk by...I should have followed him. The rest of the day I was trying to find where Joe Simon, Stan Lee and John Romita were but I couldn't find them. Tomorrow I'll try and take some pictures to post. Also have to pick up a couple of Toon Tumblers glasses and a book for some board members. I will do the rest of my buying tomorrow, although I doubt I'll be gettting much.

Lexington, KY April 5, 2008

syntaxic — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:51:12 GMT

So, for those of you near by, there's a small annual comic show that will be taking place April 5th.

While it might not be the largest, it's a good place to pick up some issues that the LCS are missing and mingle a bit.

Kirkman will be there.

From my understanding it's from 10 - 4, $3 entry.

It's being held at a Ramada Conference Center at 2143 N Broadway, which is off exit 113 from I-64 & I-75.

Anyway, I don't know if many people are in this area, but if you're bored on Saturday, it's something to do.
