Looks like Lindsey Wagner has dropped also.
I’m done… over and out.
F!!

Ouch, I feel bad for any show that loses names that could draw a good crowd.

Yeah. Was at a warehouse this morning and the late drop outs are coming in fast and furious.

Went to a small local con this weekend. It wasn’t advertised (sufficiently) so the attendance was way down from the last show. I only found out about it because I was talking to a vendor at another show this month. No one even knew there was a show.

Not a single Mora to be found anywhere, no cheesecakes, no recent hot books nada. I picked up a few books that was about it. These were $3.

Found this also. Do you guys remember how hot this book was when it got optioned? I think it went up to $200 or something ridiculous like that. Has come down since then.

Ultimate Spider-Man prices for the A covers are pretty strong up to issue 8, plus a few others like 13.

I never read it past issue 1, so going to start flipping them now.

I sold my Proof set when it got optioned.

This is the first time I’ve actually seen it in the wild. When it got optioned I went looking for it and couldn’t find it. So ridiculously hard to find and prices kept going up.

Had an hour or so to dig through some boxes at a convention on the way home from another outing, didn’t have time to get through everything there but found a book I’ve been hunting for quite awhile.

I seem to be picking up late in the run newsstands all the time now, maybe I’m the only one looking for these things? But for $2 each…

I always pick up Micheal Turners for $1 or $2 if I don’t own them, found a few of these all from the same dealer




The book I’ve been hunting for awhile is this one:

but this the most pleasant surprise, Wolverine and Turner intersection, and signed? Yes, please!

It was a pretty solid convention, wish I had the time to really dig in but wasn’t in the cards.

I went down to Baltimore Comic Con on Friday and brought back two and a half short boxes of books.


The convention foils were $5 each, the turtles was $10 and the other were $1





I picked out a ton of trades which all pretty much came out to $5 a piece. A bunch of them are sealed, brand new, and a bunch of hard covers.

There were a lot of books this year at the show. Dealers had a lot of $1 books, discounts on others, and the guy I bought the tpb’s from probably had a least 60 short boxes full. I wish I had more time to hunt because I probably could have picked up a lot more, but I had a three hour ride home (whats with the construction on the 95’s highway, it seems like they are never done) and probably only searched for three hours and the rest of the time I was waiting on the Adam Kuebert line.
