Another Mid-Ohio-Con has come & gone and with great success once again!
Roger Price runs a great two day show in Columbus, OH every year! Too bad it is over Thanksgiving weekend which I think may hurt attendance some.
I didn't get a chance to get out to check out too many dealers as we were very, very busy at our booth for most of the weekend! Many times 15-20 people at once looking at our goods!
Seemed like around half of the vendors were selling things other than comics....toys, t-shirts, cards, & whatever.
Selling Highlights:
50 cent boxes were a great success this year (as always!). Moved around 15 or so of them.
Half guide SA Spider-Man & X-Men were very popular for the Marvel boxes as were SA/BA titles like FF, DD, and Cap.
Half guide DC's sold around a long box or so of various SA/BA titles.
Dell/Gold Key, Archie, Harveys (very popular) and other misc GA/SA/BA moved well too.
TPB & Hardback sales were much slower than last year but the selection was less too.
Movie Posters are usually good sellers for us but only a couple moved at this show.
A few Sci-Fi pulps sold as well.
We don't do much with newer comics but Deadpool was a great seller. Moved 25-30 issues from the half price boxes and a DD/Deapool annual off the back board for $20.
Buying Highlights:
Crime Does Not Pay #46 (crazy kidnapping cover!)
5 1950's Rex the Wonder Dog's by DC
Around a long box of nice 50 cent comics
50+ variant covers from various companies
All-in-all a great show! Can't wait for next year!
