California Comic Convention 2019 ( CalComicCon) 6 6

Show was great. The selection of books was super. CGC line was a bummer it was so congested Terry had to come in and move the line into the hallway because it was packing the room killing the foot traffic. Note to CGC if someone comes up with their books wrapped and ready to ship in the express drop off and proceeds to take 45 minutes to unwrap them so you can check them in they should be moved off to the side so the line doesn't get bottle necked. I have done express a few times and this was a time I wish I would have just paid the shipping cost and saved the hour and a half. I saw a lot of the dealers the I've seen at other California shows like A-1 and the guys that set up at Long Beach just to the right as you walk in, there was also some national guys setup like Graham cracker, Harley Lee, Super world, Torpedo comic. Terry also had a great selection of books. This show was packed I was not able to see everything even for a small venue.  The outside dealers were also fantastic super selection all around. Parking wasn't bad and it's was definitely worth the trip. SUPER FUN and I'm putting this on my shows to must go list. 

Thanks Terry and all the the staff for a great show!!!

I have a precode Atlas weakness and picked this up from Terry's booth. The rest was my purchasing was silver through copper stuff

Great show. Smelly, crowded. The way its suppose to be. The CGC line was a real eye-opener, to say kindly. 50Yrs took a pic of it for the boards.

limiting the show to a Sunday only event should be changed, even if you live in SoCal a two day show would greatly increase attendance as well as allow out of town or states to return at a decent hour on Sunday to go to work on Monday.

At Preview Night the day before, we had ~80 people show up to buy/sell/trade comics and it was a blast! Quite a few folks flew in from out of town to participate in Preview Night as a bonus to the actual con on Sunday. It was also a nice alternative for those who couldn't make it on Sunday to still get their fix. Don't want to hijack this thread, but there's lots of pics from Preview Night posted in this thread to give you an idea:

Did anyone get good pictures of my guests?

I was so busy the whole show I was not able to start taking pictures until after 4:30.

CGC had a record breaking one day show!

Hi Terry!

Even the Dealers on the Patio were very happy with their sales.
