Are Neal Adams prices any better at cons?

I have been wanting to get a Neal Adams sketch for sometime now. I noticed on his store site he  charges  $500 for a bust on a sketch blank.  Does he charge the same  high  amount  at cons? 

Thanks guys

Yeah, that sounds about right. He will try to talk you into doing a full page piece instead of a comic though. It worked with me and can't say I'm unhappy. He's not a cheap salesman.

Depends on what you want and how busy he is.  I got a quick "standard" Batman from him recently for $100.

I paid $400 last year when I pre-ordered and picked up at a con. But, maybe he raised his prices. I got a bust on a blank.

Wow. A couple of years back at the Calgary Expo I got two New 52 Batman blanks done - a Joker Bust and a Batman bust - for $125 apiece CDN.

At the recent Tidewater Comicon he was set up( 3 weeks ago) and I was in early helping a dealer friend set up, so I took the opportunity to visit. I idolized him in the 70's and eventually want something. His blanks there were 500-700 and were very nice. He also had original pages available, but the were pushing 5 figures. He did say an on the spot sketch was 150........ GOD BLESS...

If you go on Sunday you can get better prices because the serious collectors typically buy early on at the con.  That said, you may not get the quality of work you would get from booking before hand.
