I enjoyed the event a lot- my first con, albeit digital and a year into the hobby. I was a little slow on the Paolo Rivera Silver Age inside cover piece and missed out, so no new art for me this round. Maybe next year/in August, if there's a round two.
I totally agree with those that mentioned wanting an auction that either capped off the event or ran throughout the duration of it.
I'm new to negotiating with dealers, never having been to an in-person con before, and spent a lot of the time I would have spent making offers on items trying to read up on what's appropriate, what's the bar for a fair offer less a dealer's markup, etc... and by the time I felt like I had the ropes, several of the pieces I'd hoped to inquire about were gone. Good learning experience for me! Always hate missing out on stuff and the dreaded regrets, but thanks so much to Bill for organizing it and letting us hear from some great creators. Hope to one day meet all of you that attended at a con in person!
