| I got back from Wizard World Chicago yesterday and here are pictures of what I purchased. The show was really cool and lots of fun. Tons of hot girls dressed as super heroes, nice deals on back issues, just a good overall experience. I forgot how much you can stretch your dollars when buying multiple books from one dealer at conventions, however, I was surprised by how few sunday super deals I could find but not so much considering I primarily collect SA Marvel. On a side note, NEVER buy your comics at Black Cat Comics, the main guy at the booth is a complete a-hole and an idiot to boot. Anyways, heres what I got, hope you like the pictures and the stack with ASM #348 is all newer ASM books that you wouldnt even want to see pictures of. 
I'll be posting the ASM 3 in the grading section soon

| I paid $400 for it. It's actually PGX graded and doesnt at all look like a 6.0 but even a 5.0 for that price seemed like the going rate for the show. Dealers were not cutting big deals on early ASM books.

| Most dealers don't use GPA. From what I see dealers think that an X-men #10 CGC 4.0 is worth 2x guide because it is graded. You picked up some nice books though  A huge stack of nice books it seems!

Thanks King, I knew going into the con that I had to aquire either ASM #1 or ASM #3 & 6. I'm really glad I passed on the #1 because in my price range I knew I could'nt do better than a 2.0 from what I saw. The rest of the SA stuff was just what I could find deals on, and I really wanted my Iron Man run to extend into the number 20 or so. I had a great time, I'll def. be back next year. And all CGC books were over priced there, two dealers even mentioned to me that they tack on the $70 or so from getting it graded onto the final price, thankfully I don't care for graded copies.
