I came with a list, and found key issues I had been looking for
I was able to attend my second con, this past sunday in Tampa and came away realizing that as long as I am organized, I can purchase may key issues in a short time of time at decent prices.
Although, I do like perusing the boards, scouring ebay, and visiting my LCSs, I definitely plan on holding on bigger purchases for key issues when the next scheduled con would be, for me that would be Nov 16th.

In my infancy stage of comic book collecting, I try to refrain from grabbing anything I can get my hands on.
I used to collect comics when I was in jr high school and Wolverine was my main guy and he still in. I have not make it one of my quests to seek out the Hulk #181.
I have perused ebay and craigslist, been out bidded on comiclink, and did not see any Hulk 181s on my quest to find one within my price range.

a list of what I purchased
Here are the items purchased at my first toy/comic convention:
God is Dead #1 = $5
East West #1 (signed by one of the artists) = $10
East West 3,4 = $4 a piece
Amazing Spiderman #13 = $2
Amazing Spiderman 361 + The Dark Knight Returns (1&2) = $150
(guy was asking for $50 for ASM 361, $75 for TDKR 1, and $40 for TDKR 2)
Moon Knight (2014) #1 = $4
One thing I definitely learned was that it is best to bring cash and not use your card there.
