FF 46 CGC 8.0 stolen at Comicpalooza in Houston

7 posts in this topic

I've met THB for a face-to-face, and he's a great guy. That really sux - turn your back for a second then ... bamm, there go half your profits from a show.

 

However unlikely - if I come across it I'll be sure to give THB a call.

Just a quick note as to how the comic was stolen. We had a corner booth in aisle 300 and we had no vendors behind us, just some curtains. Some big beam was in the aisle and they figured it would be a fire hazard if they put a vendor in those spots. I left the booth for a minute or two to pick up some foreign comics I had my eye on. When I left they distracted the person I was sharing the booth with and just like that someone got their hands either behind the curtain or from the side and grabbed the book. We reported to security and I alerted the other dealers to be on the look out and George posted this ASAP. Lesson learned. I am pretty sure I will never see this book again but I will file a police report online just in case I ever see it or if it turns up somewhere else. TBH this did not spoil the event for me as I met many great board members and had Dinner the previous night with some of them and had a great time. Found some really cool comics ( including the foreign ones ) and picked up a CGC order I was excited to get. And from the conversations I had with other dealers it sounds like Chicago is a must to go to this year. Look forward to meeting more of y'all there this year.
