I'm still prepping new books for the show. I'm also thinking about bringing Silver, Bronze, Copper & modern $1 books as well as a small box of magazines. And some keys, too. And smiles. \

 

 

Marc...don't forget to take a table spoon of Honey before the show.

Alan Bahr of Heroes is bringing some good stuff including a couple of Phantom Lady issues (#18 and #19) and a Venus #18.

Bunky is bringing 8 long of good heavily discounted stuff, 4 CGC boxes great stuff, and 2 boxes full of Gary Arlington EC's.

Harv has an ASM 1...

I have a lot of new stuff that has been untouched since 1988 so fresh to market.

What are the widely accepted forms of payment at these?  Obviously cash is king, but do vendors have Square or some other mobile credit card platform?  Gonna try to pop in to meet fellow boardies.

It depends on the vendor, some will take card but cash is your best bet. We take cash, card, PayPal.

Already made a connection for a tough book on my want list.

I thought boardies who ride BART would like to know that due to maintenance, BART will be running a bus bridge between Oakland 19th Street and West Oakland stations.  No direct service between San Francisco and Berkeley this coming weekend.

Buses replace trains in Oakland this weekend

Since joining the boards a year ago, I have missed the last two Berkeley Comic Con's but decided to try my best to make it out today.  I didn't have money to buy up major keys and truthfully wasn't expecting to buy much.  I was really more interested in going and putting a face to a board name and just meeting people.  Well, the dollar boxes and discounted long boxes changed all that as I was able to fill gaps in some runs.  My only problem was not having an accurate list of books that I needed and I ultimately ended up having to rein it in a bit out of fear of buying up doubles (something I've done far too much of late and have been trying to minimize).  Next time I'll be sure to go with a full catalog of my collection as well as a list of books I'm looking for.  The books available throughout the room felt very balanced.  There was a good mix of GA/SA/CA and more modern age stuff than I was expecting.  So something for everyone.  There were also quite a few nice wall books which is always fun because it serves as a physical reminder of what I hope to one day strive to own.

On top of that there was a lot of knowledge in the room.  It's fun hearing some of you guys talk about collecting, original art, cons, the historical value of books 10 years ago, the rise and fall of some books, predicting future value of books, etc etc.  I learned some stuff just casually eavesdropping and it's just nice to be around people with similar passions for comics.  It's also fun just seeing you dealers rib each other.  I guess that's what happens when you've been around each other for as long as you have.  Anyways, it was a great way to spend an afternoon and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Lastly, thanks @HouseofComics.Com for organizing.  And if there are other boardies who work to organize the con, thanks to you as well.  (thumbsu
