Saving for NYCC
How much to bring vs how much to spend...
This is the first comic convention I am attending outside the Philadelphia area. I can?t wait to experience the feel of a comic con other than Wizard World. I already have my train ticket to and from New York. I originally wanted to go the whole weekend but a wedding (not mine) on Saturday has stopped that idea. The wedding is probably saving me a few hundred dollars. In fact the first real comic convention I ever attended was a Comic Con in Philly back in 93?. The NYCC is also my preview of San Diego in 2012.
I found out Brad Guigar of Evil Inc. will be there. This means eight dollars is already spent on an original artwork strip. I am also going to gamble and bring my ASM #129 in a 9.4 to be signed by John Romita. How can I pass on that?even if I am slightly afraid it will drop back to a 9.2 (the voice in the back of my head cries?..but it is John Romita.) If I am lucky I will have $750 saved by this event. Currently I am at $450 (give or take an extra $.12).
Earning $300 in less than two weeks will be difficult, especially since my bills will come first. My eBay bids will have to be placed aside (even though I am still waiting for the person who owns that New Mutants #17 to get back to me). My train tickets have already been purchased and the schedule is hanging on my door reminding me what time I have to leave. Of course once this event is over I will have to start saving for Wizard World 2012 in Philadelphia and consequently San Diego in the same year.
Thanks for Reading
