Bill's Travel Log 10/15
Went to Retro Con 2018 (official) in Oaks on Saturday. I took the Blue Route to the Schuykill Expressway (where there was an accident that backed up traffic for miles) to the convention center in the Oaks is the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks, past Valley Forge.(And hats off to those who travel those roads every day- it would make me want to pull my hair out and to those who don’t know- there isn’t that much left). I couldn’t spell Schuylkill. Curse those Dutch who named this stuff.

It was packed. The guys who throw the show always get a good crowd, (you could tell because the parking lot was packed.) And there was TONS of stuff there. Chris from Panther Comics was set up. He told me he was going back and forth every day. He’s tough. A lot of it I know nothing about, but there were some comics and I came home with a few treasures. Sgt. Slaughterr was there too.

On the way back, I saw Frank at Comic Universe and Chris at Cult Fiction Comic. Frank has the situation well in hand, the store is order, people all over the store and Iron Man on TV. Well worth a stop in. Especially once they open the new Lidl US Careers Market on MacDade Blvd. Cult Fiction is packed with books too. (Not like my store- no one’s store is packed like my store. Chris and Chris are making it work.

Sunday was the exciting Philadelphia Comic Con in Essington where I saw a ton of books and a bunch of people I know. Chad from Comic Lair in Trenton was there and Plunder Palace had both of the Walsh Brothers. Mike DeCarl told me he would take some flyers to @Unshreaded Nostalgia at the Shore. Thanks Mike. After getting all the good stuff-I headed down the Industrial Highway to see Sarah at The Comic Book Shop working on a Sunday (What do I know? A Big Time Dealer came in while I was there and they made more money than I did on Sunday). And the all the way down to Captain Blue Hen Comics and saw Paul. Paul is busier than ever since he “retired”. He is busy alI the time.

I wind up at the 2nd & Charles (after a quick snack at Deerhead Hot Dogs! ) Always an adventure dining in Delaware. I bought the Mighty Boosh on DVD! at 2nd and Charles.

Bill’s Travel Log 10/8

Off to Delaware for the Delaware Toy Show. I have to start running around for the show ( still just a little too early- next week we’ll start in earnest.) I have dealers to talk to and there maybe treasures to buy.( I love the Toy guys. they get stuff and they keep the toys , sometimes they don’t know what to do with the comics.) I look around and I buy some dollar books from a guy I know from down south. Good stuff too. I talked to one dealer who got to it before me told me he got the 1st Gambit in Uncanny X Men 266 for a dollar. I got a stack of good stuff too. You always hear about the books you don’t get. (Harry got it , Tim).

I also stopped at Showcase Comics Swarthmore and The Comic Book Store in Glassboro (where the guys on the comic book side were watching Magic The Gathering live online and the guys gaming on the other side were watching football. I still can’t figure out those gaming guys.

So I have started road trips,. Next week I will be at the Retro Con in Oaks, PA. It is a big show and I see a ton of people. (I saw Mermaid Man last year!) And next Sunday I will be at Derek’s in Essington to hear all the news and politic a little.

We are into week 2 of our 25th Anniversary sale. We got birthday cards! so like Dean Martin used to say at the end of the show- “Keep those cards and letters coming in.” ... ExpandSee Less
