Went to a small local show today and did a build a long box for $60. I’d say I got my money’s worth.

Just a very small selection of the highlights. Also got a ton of Sandman comics #30ish - #70, Flash Rebirth #6 x2, Young Avengers #12, other less notable Parrillo Vampirellas, a few Parrillo Sonjas, Green Lantern #20 21 New 52, Aquaman #2 New 52, Venom: Carnage Unleashed 3, GOTG  08 1-12, (Red) Hulk 2 & 3, Nightwing #1 (96) off the top of my head.

You're welcome. I did Florence instead of the Jamil Temple show, but also had a ton of success as I'll post tomorrow. Kudos to you as I'm always happy when boardies get the goods.

Better pulls from smallish con in Florence, SC. Everything except the Deathstroke 60 (50 cents) came from a guy with a shop in Charleston. He said he had too many comics and didn’t have time to go trough everything. Ummm.....okay? There were about 8 longs of unpicked stuff. I bought 192 $1 books from him.

There really weren't many comic vendors at the show this year, and I only bought from two vendors the whole time I was there. Not as big of a turn out either. I would have done Florence but I had to work that night. Another thing that I think worked against the show this year (and at least last year, as well) is that it's the same weekend as the Columbia Record Fair, and I know first hand there's some serious overlap between the audience here. I didn't even go to the last two record shows because of this draining my spending cash.

I've sold at the Jamil Temple show the last six years, but this is the first time Florence has been the same day, which is why most vendors weren't there. I do 3x the sales in Florence so it was a no-brainer for me.

Oh I don’t doubt it. When I left around 2 I walked around one last time and it looked like very few wall books were sold by anybody.

Fun box diving at Gem City this weekend! Posted the good stuff in the CG "This Week in yr collection" thread, but here are the $1 finds. If you need a Robin 1 3rd print, I got you! Also, my Dakota North hoarding continues unabated.
