Orlando con report
Although there ain't much to report ...
$12 to get in, and fewer than two dozen dealers (plenty of decent artists were there).
Not crowded, and of course very few Valiants. I found one guy with a few -- that's it --and got a couple of Magnus 1s, 2s, Solar 2-5 and a pair of X-O Blue TPBs for $20. He said somebody got the Solar TPB right before I got there. Nice dude, though.
One dealer had nothing but early Marvels, a boatload of the keys. I was ogling his display and he told me it was his personal collection and this was the only comic show he had ever been to ... and he had already sold a ton of books. Somebody bought Spidey 14 in CGC 7.5 right before I got there, but he still had FF 1-5 and a bunch of other biggies on the wall. He seemed happy with the money he was making but said selling that Spidey broke his heart.
Would have broke mine, too.
