wormboy Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Con Report - Berkeley Comic Con Hi Folks, Marc (House of Comics on the boards) and I just held the third Berkeley Comic Con - our old school 'comic books only' show at the North Berkeley Senior Center. What a blast! Thanks to all the dealers and collectors, who made this one our best yet! Here are some pics: Setting Up: STORMSHADOW_80 and piper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormboy Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 John Athens and team had a brand new, never before seen collection of unread bronze and silver age books that was the buzz of the day. Lots and lots of beautiful glossy books. Some of them had some warping from storage, but even those looked glossy and beautiful (IMHO). It seems many agreed with me, as there was a steady crowd of guys jockeying for position at their table (even before the doors opened lol)! thehumantorch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormboy Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 I met EdgerX from the boards - great guy - I remembered him from here - like 10 years ago I think - he promises to post more often. When I took this picture I couldn't see what he was doing (Black shirt, white T underneath). When I was looking through the photos last night I laughed out loud.

wormboy Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Here is my haul! These are all out of Dale Quick's 50 cent box! Edited June 4, 2017 by wormboy Quicksilver Signs, STORMSHADOW_80 and ComicConnoisseur 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormboy Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 These are all from that new collection John had. I'm really excited about the IF 14. I'll be really surprised if it's not a 9.4, and not surprised at all if it's a 9.6. Also the Night Nurse. I've never owned one. Just couldn't wrap my head around paying market for a higher grade copy. This was the perfect solution. STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormboy Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Extremity Gold cover that I didn't know existed, but had to have (even though I usually never buy modern variants) just because I love this book so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormboy Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Thanks again to the Brain for the donuts for the CGC table, and for helping with parking!

HouseofComics.Com Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Not too late for people to make vacation plans and hit the Aug. 5 show! haha The final 2017 date is Nov. 4. There are other shows around the country that are super comic oriented, but I don't know if they come out and say comics-only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofComics.Com Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Also, as for the new collection, some of the 70s stuff was newsstand fresh, but I don't think the silver age was. Also, there wasn't much early Marvel silver there. For instance, X-Men started at 12 and lots of holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good observation Marc - as you know well, I'm a bronze fiend, so I actually didn't look at much of the silver.
