I was expecting to see more focus on pulps this year but I only saw them at a couple booths, including at Terry's as usual. 

The big wall books on every dealer's wall was Dave Stevens. That's what happens when common $10 books suddenly 10x overnight I guess.

For the most part, prices were terrible. Not even worth trying to negotiate down. Not every dealer but certainly the majority. For example I was hoping to find a high grade Crow 2. I found two dealers that each had a copy in roughly F/VF condition with $300 price tags. That's an ultra specific example but it's illustrative.

Batman 227 seemed to be a highly requested book, for some reason. 

I overheard the phrase, "I'll be back" from every tire kicker handing a book back they were looking at. Not sure why that phrase was so popular. 

Also popular this year were people with outrageous body odor.

I agree with you on the wall book prices. I steered clear of them and spent the majority of my time box diving. And even though I feel I didn’t do as well this year as well compared to last year, I still think it’s a great show. 
 

And yeah it’s funny, Dave Stevens fever was definitely in the air, but of course when I brought some to trade to dealers they were all like “Na, I’m good…” 

Like I said, still a fun day out looking for comics! Here were my modest finds:
