As many of you know, our inventory is not very extensive (Louise only gives me a small corner of the house to operate out of ) but our niche is similar to that of when I was a collector: high quality and high grade material and tough to find books.
This year, we have an all new inventory that includes about 120 CGC graded books and about 150 ungraded books that cover the GA, SA and BA including keys and classic covers. Almost all the ungraded books are CGC worthy and are just books that I have not gotten around to grading.
Keep an eye out for Lou and I standing under the red banner!
Anyhow, looking forward to the show!
Got the AAMOW #94 from the Vintage booth. Great transaction all around. Thanks, Roy. Keep me in mind for more war books!

We spent the entire day in the Silver and Gold Age area with the exception of a trip upstairs for lunch and an hour break and an ill fated attempt by me to get into the Walking Dead comics panel. Boardies were all over and we ran into SteveRams first thing and looked over some cool books he had just bought.
We stopped and had a nice chat with Gator at his booth. Thanks for the Worlds Finest assessment; to your point on rarity I saw three number 10's for sale on the floor.
I consulted with Matt Nelson with respect to a Weird issue I bought some time ago and turned in a Van Buren All Flash for (hopefully) some color touch removal before CGC grading.
We then ran into David Merryweather and RIP who were good fun to hang out and talk comics. RIP had some good stories about his basement find up in Northern California as well as a beautiful Human Torch from that collection. Vintage Comics was kind enough to open up his Marvel Mystery 3 and show off this amazing book to Busted Flush and me. That was quite a site.
Filter81(?) had a sweet run of early Actions; the best at the show. He also had picked up a collection of pedigrees to sell, there were a few nice books in there.
Overall, inventory of good material still seems to be shrinking and prices remain quite high. Most dealers I asked said they were having a good show.
I go back with the family on Saturday but the focus won't be on comics.
First time at the con and didn't know Gator was there, what booth or name is he under ? Wish I knew, would have went by to say hi. Also, anyone know if Mr. Bedrock was there ?
