I sold the first CGC book ever on eBay and all I got was this stinking title.

I agree with that statement.

It's wonderful to be buying these shows but unless you are adding attendance/buyer numbers the table cost isn't worth it.

+1

Would Wizard care to listen to two of the most respected dealers in the hobby?

Wizard the magazine might have gone bankrupt, but the Shamus family hasn't...I believe every show is under their name not the company name...if that makes sense...

On another note...
Vegas needs a real show. Plenty of hotel rooms, cheap flights, plenty to do after the show hm

Not that I have a dog in this fight, but Wizard Miami is going to be $1095 for a 10x10 + corner fees. Florida SuperCon's 10x10 is $450 for a standard or $495 for a corner. Both conventions are going to be held in the exact same venue and, frankly, will both have the same crappy guests. Wizard Miami is a two day show (Sat and Sun) while Florida SuperCon is a four day show (Fri through Mon).

I just don't see any justification in the price increase. Both shows will probably have a similar turnout.

Did they have a Vegas show a few years ago and it was a disaster I read?

Also if Wizard is broke now how long before they stop publication or did they just restructure?
