This is one of my favorite times of year, time for the Buckeye comic con. This is a biannual show once in March then in August. This is a cool show to for me because I can fill holes in my collection on the cheap. In past shows there have been about 50ish dealers; a couple of the larger tables deal in more classics from the silver age w/ some golden age stuff for normal wall prices; most of the tables are selling modern stuff on the cheap(don't pay more than half price for a trade at this show); then there are several dealing in toys(mostly action figures the prices are all over the place but you'll find deals); there are normally a few local creators there also.
I am really looking forward to hitting the cheap trades table. Earlier this year I found a limited edition hardback of Marvels for 5 bucks! Great deal and I picked up like 3 other trades for less than 15.
My comic shop Capital City Comics will be there, most likely with some more cheap trades (at most half price) along with half price on sets of singles issues.
Hopefully I will be able to fill in some holes in my collection, along with picking up some things that I am actually collecting not just reading. I am always looking for Black Panther Stuff I don't have, I also started trying to scoop up Eastman&Laird TMNT plus Alan Moore's Miracle Man series. I found some early issues of TMNT for 2 dollars an issue at the previous show along with issue 11 of Miracle Man for 11 ducats which I talked down to 8. Holes I'll be filling will be in Robin (haven't found much in that prior), New Avengers, 90s Green Lantern issue 51 and up with Kyle (this is my original GL), and then there is other stuff I'll be on the look out for. Its always the stuff you find that your not looking for that is the best.
