This video reminds me of the days when I started going to the San Diego Comic Con. I went to it from 1985-1991. Had a great time and great memories of those trips.
@jsomething2559 Жыл бұрын
'85? Cool! I was at '88 then came bk in '91 & the growth then seemed massive. Wish I was less focused on just back issue hunting but as a young kid w/ just 7-11 spinner racks, the con was overwhelming. Still, in '91 I found a cheap LONGSHOT art pg then got to meet my idol Art Adams to sign it. Good times.

Have you seen all of the DC comics and Marvel panels. I'm so excited for the Between Two Toms panel - DC's Tom King (Wonder Woman) and Tom Taylor (Titans) are kicking off San Diego Comic-Con together by discussing comics, and more. Celebrity guests between the Toms this year will include Nicola Scott (Titans) and Mitch Gerads (Batman: The Brave and the Bold). Room 6DE. I love Tom Taylor and Tom King they are just killing it right now. Did you see Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow got nominated for a Hugo?

I disagree tbh. I think having tv shows and movies as well as books and novels is pretty awesome. Just make the comics the main show. I think that it's pretty awesome that you can find sci fi and fantasy art as well in conventions.

Back then it didn't cost a huge cash layout just to get through the door, and there were no separate ticket cost packages to really nickel-and-dime the hell out of you. So you had less money spent just getting in so you could have more to spend on the comic books and stuff. Plus you didn't have "convention prices" where every sleazy seller took that whatever that normally costs $5 and wants $20+ for it at the convention.

I'm reReading Justice League 1987. I collected all 60 issues before 1993, but took me 3 decades to gather them all. Finally found the last two issues to complete it a few years ago, but my,collection was a 1000 miles away. When I was able to put those two issues in the box, it felt like finishing a puzzle.

Back in the days when life was simple and carefree, this convention and many others like it where "made by fans for the fans". Now the power hungry corporate "grease-rats" that controls Hollywood, took over this convention and ruined it!! It's overhyped, overpriced, over crowded, it's WOKE, and it's rigged!! So ridiculous that tickets for this con gets sold out in less than 5 minutes once they go on sale online!!! Today's Comic-con aint the same anymore, my friends and I call it "Hollywood-con". I am sure glad we stopped going when the con started going downhill!!! All good things come to an end, nothing lasts forever!!

How collecting has changed. While most comics are bagged, none of these books seem to have a backing board. When I started collecting in the early 80's, bags were readily available, however backing boards were not, in fact I had to make my own out of bristol board or heavy paper stock if I could find it. Hard to tell what shape that Walt Disney Comics #1 is, maybe a fine, but a 9.4 goes for 50 G's now, so I would say it was a decent investment, although it probably didn't gain that value except in the past 10-15 years. What I would give to be able to go back to that time period in the early Con days with a fistful of cash and a cargo van. lol.

I remember coming across comic books with backing boards as early as 1982 here in Texas, and the ones shown in the long boxes all appear to have them.
