awakeintheashes Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the report. I left DC last year after a good 11-12 years. This was my favorite con, and stuff like this makes me miss the area. Hope you had fun! Edited September 30, 2018 by awakeintheashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foolkiller Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 My favorite show of the year. Marc does an awesome job. I thought there was plenty to buy, but don't know what other guys were looking for. Picked up the Flash 1 CGC 2.5 from Superworld Ted and then snagged a sweet Tec 66 and a nice Tec 69 as well as a Miss Fury 1 and then some nice high end Silver. Bob Storms and Rick both had A-level stuff. Richard Evans had a slew of great books, but I was shot by the time I got to his booth. Fellow board member murphman13 had an awesome selection with some beautiful pre code books, big super keys and some really nice high grade. Picked up a nice MS 5 CGC 9.2 and a couple Hulk 181s. Picked up a HOS 92 CGC 7.5 for under GPA. Enjoyed the on site grading and that went super smooth. I hope people checked Glenn (murphman13) out over the weekend cause he had some awesome stuff. Bought random high grade from a bunch of other guys, then picked up a nice original owner small collection of high grade Marvels on Friday night that someone lugged to the show. Flew to Napa on Saturday AM and skipped the rest of the show. Junkdrawer and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of con dealers should be pay for an expensive admission ticket so you can get great deals not pay for an expensive ticket so you can pay more for books that you can get elsewhere cheaper.

I dont gettit. I'm extremely fussy for staples, and I hate buying anything twice. It's worth the premium to see books in person, and make sure it's my forever copy. oldmilwaukee6er and kav 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kav Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 6 undercover guys at every con. Their job: to hang out near high dollar booths with cosplay-wearing glasses that cover their eyes so no one can see what they are looking at. Big smiles on faces, acting involved and distracted. Watching for people checking out wall books then looking around constantly, head on a swivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post snitzer Posted October 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Sadly no “new” pick-ups for me BUT I did take advantage of the on-site grading and for the most part, it went off without a hitch. I only wished turnaround, and communication, was a tad better. On the other hand, the encapsulated books look beautiful! No newton rings, great centering, etc. They really look outstanding in-hand! More importantly, this Con, thanks to Marvel films and the Sony Spidey game, was the first one where my son was on the hunt for certain books. It was awesome trying to locate a few key issues with him. He learned a lot in the process from finding a good deal, to working with a budget and of course, as did I, about the current market. Who the hell is Silk and Miles Morales I kept asking him? Regardless, we had an great time together! Here are his pickups along with my fresh slabs.
