yeah. I've seen plenty of similar sized shows in other areas have multiple comic exclusives and there hasn't been a show in FL that has had a decent exclusive comic in a while.

Is this a ' I have something planned ' hm or a 'mangbus.. you missed a past show that had tons of sweet comic exclusives' hm ??

The Tampa Bay Comic Con has had a number of cool exclusives recently.....at least as far as posters go.

Yeah. I know that. I got the Joker print and the free poster. I was leaning towards actual con exclusive comic variants. It's just sad that a show which is much bigger and has actual DC / Marvel / Image booths/panels there always seems to drop the ball in this department.

 

Megacon is going to have the voice actor of Jake from Adventure Time and I thought it'd be cool to have a Megacon 2013 Exclusive Adventure Time # (whatever is out at the time) variant. That'd be a cool thing for him to sign and would be specific to the show.

 

With all of the ghost/phantom/local variants popping up, what is stopping a show like Megacon from doing something for their fans? A good title w/ some cool art would sell.

What is the fee for onsite grading?

Regular + fast track?

 

Last year it was $25 for moderns, $50 for economy, $85 for standard and $140 for express.

 

For SS books, it's an extra $10 pr. book ($11 for moderns).

 

They waive the $5 invoice fee for on-site books, though.

So if you took a TWD #1, they'd probably charge the standard tier?

 

 

Would they re-holder on site as well?

 

Is it same day pick up or by the end of the con?

 

I've seen plenty of WD #1s being graded under just the regular modern tier ...

 

They don't do reholders at on-site shows, and the books are guaranteed to be back by the end of the show - they usually cut off the submissions Saturday around noon.

dont they drive the books to Sarasota?

 

When I started this last year that is what CGC did. I was also able to submit books a week early so they could be ready for pickup at the show. I will see if they are willing to do this again. I will have an update soon.
