It could be worse, they could be serving bloody caesars' I'm traveling but hoping to check this out at some point. Comics and beer, what could go wrong...

Doesn't matter how it gets there as long as it goes in. I've come close three other time by less than 1 foot and nearly had an albatros (2 on a par 5) where I hit the pin and kicked about three feet away.

It was an "executive" course. All par 3's but this one was the hardest. If I recall correctly all waste area/water until about 20 yards before the green.

A little rarer than I like but looks delish. Hopefully you slow roasted to get all that flavor to seep into the meat.

Thanks! I forgot to see if you were maning the booth when I was checking out J & S. I buy from them a lot too. Next time...

me too! Sneaky @AmazingComics413 There I am debating a superworld purchase. Anyone know who was the vendor across from J & S? (Hightlighted in the red box) I meant to get their name as they had some good prices and a ton of nice books.

I got there just before 11 and stayed for nearly 3 hours. I had a wedding up in the Winnipesaukee area last night so had to leave a little earlier than I wanted since I needed to grab a bite to eat as well. The venue is about a half a mile from downtown Concord so I was able to drive over after for a burger and a beer at The Barley House Restaurant & Tavern (great burgers!). Tons of books, good crowds and some really long lines for the artists. I didn't see the carnage dude and like Ryan said, not too many women. I did see a number of kids at the show including a couple buying some ASM bronze. There was also an unconfirmed Roy sighting but he was out the door shortly after I arrived. After a quick stop to see @AmazingComics413 I walked the room to locate some dealers that I wanted to check out. I wasn't sure if I was going to try to focus on one or two bigger books that are on my radar but wall prices were "elevated" from what I looked at. Many dealers seemed to be open to offers and saw a couple bigger books get picked up. Lots of tire kicking for sure, everyone seemed to want to know the price of ASM 252 but didn't see any move. I opted for working on some run fills and had good success and I was able to work some bulk discounts at a couple tables. The 4 Conan books completed my run from 1-120. The Hulk 145 is a really solid squarebound and has been eluding me for some time in higher grade. I'll definitely be back next year, great show!

It would be cool to put a few faces to the names around here. I'll be there from 10:30 - 2ish. @Ryan. are you setting up or just attending?

Ghosts!

Looking forward to this one! Looks like some great dealers, will need to stay focused otherwise

Will miss this show due to conflicts. Had a great time last year!

@CGC Mike can we nominate this thread for pinning? It's great idea as you see these type of threads pop-up frequently.

I do like that run! My OO run is from about 250 - 295 so that was a logical stoping point. I stopped collecting in high school and picked back up about halfway through the Simonson run. I've back filled some so that's nearly complete. I'll get around to filling in the blanks at some point but won't seek out 301- 336.

Picked up a few high quality Thor's over the weekend to move closer to a 126 -300 run. Still lot's of work to do from 210 -250 but down to about a dozen under 200.

My LCS was lucky enough to buy an OO collection with some really higher end silver including some major keys. As they slowly start to process the books, they are reaching out to the regulars for first dibs on some of the books. I jumped on these 4 Thor books as they help me close in on a run of 126 - 300. All with seemingly white pages, maybe OW/W at worst. I estimate 126 and 127 to be about VF+, 129 hovers more towards the F+ to F/VF range and 130 look to be around a VF/NM. None have been pressed.

It was fine, we had a good time. They are pretty good for a bunch of 50 something, pot bellied men wearing kilts. I can relate (sans kilt).

Funny story, a couple years back my girlfriend got me a birthday gift that she was super proud of but when I opened it, I quickly realized that the tickets that she thought she got to the Red Hot Chili Peppers was in fact the Red Hot Chili Pipers! https://rhcp.scot/ We went anyways, made the best of it and left at intermission. I won't make the same mistake again.

Keep the beer suggestions coming! I'll be hitting the pubs on for sure while I'm there.

Now you're talking my language! I'm all about the pint.

Thanks for this. Scary basement!

Any thoughts on Edinburgh?
