I'll be there! Packing two tables full of silver and bronze goodness! 

Hoping to make it this year as well! 

Hoping to hit the floor for setup around 11a tomorrow.  Looking forward to a great weekend.  We're at booth 2117.  Stop by and say hi!

Saturday is showing up on my 10 day forecast now, still looking good. 

Weather Channel put in a 40% chance of snow for Friday this morning. Saturday and Sunday look good with the exception of a 30% chance of rain on Sunday.  Still lots of time for all of this to change though! Still trending for temps in the 40s over the weekend, so that's some good news!

On the weather front, it’s looking like highs in the 40s and no precip on Thur-Fri at least. Let’s hope that’s the case all weekend. 

So far so good on the weather front!  Still a ways out, but I will trade a chilly load in and Friday for a warmer Saturday/Sunday every time! Hoping that the precip holds off. Pulling a trailer on slick roads is not at the top of my list of things to do next weekend.

Shameless self promotion warning......

I believe my booth number is 1614.

I will be bringing 30 boxes of Silver Age, 20 boxes of CGC books (maybe more depending on what gets shipped by then), 18 boxes of Golden Age, and my usual display books. Probably will work in a few cheap discount boxes from the collection I just picked up. Look forward to seeing everyone.

@mysterio we've got to work on our sources...  Hopefully we'll all have our #'s soon! @Dale Roberts I've got my eye on a book of yours, looking forward to seeing it in person! 

Booth numbers drop today! Not sure when we'll see a floor map, but we should all have our booth #'s at some point today.  Let the shameless self promoting begin!

We do it to confound people who are unfamiliar with google.

Because the best marketing tactic is to be vague enough people have to actively search who the guests are/why they're relevant, as opposed to enjoying the excitement of a properly drafted announcement that clearly states who was just announced as a guest and why you should care...

I was just thinking about this again. Why isn't slicing the label off ok? We show raw books here all the time, and they are not CGC graded (obviously). Is showing another slab sans label really that different? As long as the book isn't being offered for sale, which would be a clear no-no, I'm not sure why chopping the label off would be a violation in a thread like this. Maybe I am being dense.

The whole concept seems rather "head in the sand"ish to me.  We all know these books exist.  Hell, most of us probably own some.  Probably not the proper venue for hashing it out, but a policy worth examining further, in my opinion. 

3 WEEKS OUT! 

Why people don't prep signature windows prior to having books of this caliber signed is beyond me...

I am starting to give up on that big  comic book name,  I am more concerned about what comic vendors will be there.  I got money to spend and more money if I can sell some funny books . . . . 

Though I am excited for Adams, Azzarello, and Jurgens.    

Chu, Darrow, Cho and Young are cool as well.

I did notice they have some names on their site that they have not announced.

I’m sure Dale will get some of my money. He usually does...

Damn, I guess that makes me copper.  I was really hoping to be modern, but that sounds awful millennial to me.

I'll be there!  Does that count?

 

@Dale Roberts is definitely copper age! Moving toward silver! Keep away from that flu bug this year sir!

 Just me over here waiting for another headline worthy comic creator to be added to the bill...

Tough weekend with Dallas and C2E2 parked on the same spot on the calendar.  Great little one day show to shop if you're not heading out for one of the big shows to the north or south!

For 3 months between Jan and April I have one weekend that I'm committed to something and it's the weekend of this show. 

So no I will not be at this show.

I will say this is the St Louis Comic show I recommend comic fans should attend. Very well promoted and a great selection of comics. Just comics! No booths that don't belong at a comic show.

Sorry to hear that Leroy! It's crazy how often something like that happens! 

I'll be there set up once again.  @lhcomics will we see you in March? 

STL Comics is bringing back their Winter 1 Day Comic Show for 2018!  Join the fun 10a-5p Sunday, March 4th!  35+ comic and toy vendors! Joe Staton is the headlining creator guest.

That is what I have heard too, but just bumping in case anyone was interested. I imagine that most in the area will be saving their money for Planet.

Or the STL Comics' One Day show in March, if they're not game for driving all the way across MO for a con. 

This show hasn't been worth the cost to attend in a while (in my opinion).

Cullen Bunn and Dan Jurgens added. This’ll be my next show so I’m already counting the days!

Ditto! See you there sir! 

I've seen some pics taken by one of the vendors of a variety of cosplayers and there never appeared to be much of a crowd in the background.  Hopefully, the crowd was just out of frame. 

Anybody out there who was on the fence taking advantage of the extended early-bird booth pricing? Was it enough to sway you???
