Why would Bob Layton have a photo op?

Ha, just saw that myself. I might pay $40 to get a sketch, but to get a picture with the guy? Is he at least good lookin'?

He seems to be holding up well but I'm not sure how old the pic is

Last year we had the other company at FanExpo Vancouver and not this year, CGC has listed that they will be attending up here in November. 

Pretty sure I saw Voldemort grading company (near Paul's My Little Pony/anime booth) at Van Fan Expo in Nov, 2016, as they were saying the steady line up of submissions at Van Comic Show Feb, 2017 was better than at Van Fan Expo. Unless you already heard that Voldemort Grading will not be at Van Fan Expo in Nov, 2017 with your vast  inside knowledge?

So annoying when I go to a roofers convention, and they have a bunch of guys selling comics. 

Absolutely.  I understand the promoters need to fill booths but roofers, vacuum salesmen and the like don't belong here.

This is 10 times more busy then I saw it on Saturday afternoon.  There was boxes and boxes of fresh slabs behind the counter and no one was rushing over to grab their stuff.  I wanted to peak my head over and ask "so what did they get?"

Bob Layton was amazing this weekend. I brought several of his Hercules comics for CGC signature ($5/comic for signature) and he obviously recognized that I was a Hercules fan and gave me a signed, limited edition print.

They did have Onsite grading. I love that they came to Buffalo for this, but I'm not sure that will happen again.

Grading was TIGHT! Some issues I should have pressed or just gone through the pre-grade process.

It’s very useful to know a good roofer.  Here in England it’s very rainy and I often have a problem with vegetation clogging up the drainage.  

That said, it is very disappointing that the company didn’t try to link in a few relevant sales by at least taking along a couple of boxes of Swamp Thing comics.

I spent most of my cash on GA shingles and roofer's nails.
