I guess I'll never have much need to go back to Wizard World Chicago again since all these guys with dealer passes are able to pillage through all the other dealer's stock and make sure there are no good deals to be found on Valiants for when the doors open to the general public. What's the point? Sure, it might be sour grapes on my part, but if there are no deals to be found then there's no incentive for me as a Valiant fan to go.
But don't you want to be overcharged by Wizard and then beaten down by the Marvel PR machine????Brother J wrote:I guess I'll never have much need to go back to Wizard World Chicago again since all these guys with dealer passes are able to pillage through all the other dealer's stock and make sure there are no good deals to be found on Valiants for when the doors open to the general public.

Some good Valiant interest today. Sold a small stack of golds and last/late issues. A few to a couple new board members. Still nothing like the interest I had in Boston a few weeks ago. But it's early.
More oogling at my CGCs. Lots of peepers at the H0 pink 9.8 and 9.6s.
Good show so far - I want to sell Golden age, and that's what I'm doing most of.

As CKB said, interest is there, but I think it will take some time before books start flyin off of dealers displays . Various (non-Valiant/Acclaim) notable sales include the following(all raw):
GI Joe 152 $20
153 $30
Special 1 $175
Werewolf by Night 32 $100
Marvel Spotlight Presents 5 $150
X-Men 3 $150
Miracleman TPB Vol.1 $40
New Teen Titans 2 $20
Tales to Astonish 36 $475
ASM 300 $80
238 $60
Too many others to list and I'm beat
My "purchase post" will have to wait until tomorrow.
More later on.
