Flatliner1313 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 @greggy won't be attending, so the pre-show shopping Bonanza will be less competitive. The ferocious Roast of @aardvark88 will also be less competitive. Our dollar boxes, while always legendary, will be extra legendary this time. @Thanos88 and I will retain our titles. aardvark88, Fan Boy and greggy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Boy Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'll let you keep your legendary titles. And I will browse your boxes for some goodies. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Time to start bagging and boarding before Father's Day con ! Fan Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Boy Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Busy bagging and boarding new books for the upcoming show all day. Picked up seven parcels over the border today. Here is a small preview of what I will bring for the greatest dads. I can't show all the books as I have a long box full of BA Marvel books. It's a new arrival. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatliner1313 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 I don't have the screw around with bagging anything this time. Fan Boy and aardvark88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bring all of those books that you recently got slabbed from CGC since this will save you a lot of time and yet put much more money into your pocket. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 hmm, only high-rollers like Mr lou_fine can afford blue label slabbed funny books. The balance just buy raw comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan; Absolutely no problem as long as they are of vintage quality books, in nice presenting condition (i.e. relatively high grade), priced at or slightly under condition guide, and doesn't go past my threshold level of $1K per book. Or are these things now mutually exclusive in today's robust marketplace, as it's definitely been a long time since I've been able to pick up a nice half decent book for my collection?

Fan Boy Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I second that with you, Lou. I have been looking for a nice raw GA book to add into my collection. I hope something can be found at this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatliner1313 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Attendance did seem to be a bit down. Sales were pretty good again, thanks to a nice top-up from my usual end of show clearance. Hallowe'en is specialty, so we will be going all out for that show. Bringing back the wall mount, 2 tables, and hopefully an incredible array of sweet books.

aardvark88 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Was a bit surprised that vintage comics and original strip art dealer Ferd drove all the way in from Winnipeg, Spoiler Winnipeg is north of the Detroit, Michigan area for u Americans who don't know Canadian map. MB. He picked up his helper from Calgary to spend the weekend in the Vancouver area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the nice books, that put me three less #s on my WTB book. This October I might go big to look for one key book. It bugged me seeing this specific key book not in my collection! The June sales was bit low, same as last year. But I did get my first American sale, sold to a loverly young girl from WA state two books. She paid with one U.S. bill. No... it is not a George Washington bill . However, she is a big Black Canary fan. Sold some books like: Action Comics #331 9.0 - $100 Many cheap graphic novel books flies away. We brought in two boxes (one big box and one short box) and we took back home with two short boxes. Sold them over about $100 worth. Bronze Age Marvel long box at $1.00 ea, sold about half that. Many $2.00-20.00 bagged comics sold. Halloween? Hmmm... maybe do something for fun at next show?

Flatliner1313 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 I was surprised at how bush my Graphic Novel sales were. In past shows we had boxes of them for $5 each, and pretty much sold out. This time I sold 1, even though (in my opinion) the quality of GNs I brought were superior this time. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 flatliner, Perhaps the Vancouver collectors associate discount graphic novels with the smiling face of your loyal sidekick Thanos88 who was too busy Sunday changing his diapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark88 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Sorry Iceman, Flash #86 GA was sold for a 'reasonable price' but still way over Guide during dealer set up. Think there was an AF #15 Cgc about 5.0 or 5.5 blue label in the main hall for all you hi-rollers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
