A very impressive lineup of media guests this year:

Edward James Olmos
Emma Caulfield
Kristanna Loken
Ray Park
Matt Serra
Yancy Butler
Marina Sirtis
Doug Jones
Michael Hogan
Luciana Carro
Tom Kane
Peter Mayhew
Erin Gray
Darcy DeMoss
Cerina Vincent
Michael papajohn
Ted Raimi
Chanel Ryan
Mia St John
Traci Brooks
Demolition

Sketch Card Artists
Brian Kong
Tom Hodges
Kate Glasheen

There may be more sketch card artists with tables in artists alley. Artist alley info isn't up yet.

Not sure if there will be too many non-sport dealers there. Dave Moulder usually has tables with a nice variety of product. I'm sure he'll post here if he has tables.

Be warned... if you want Edward James Olmos autograph it's going to cost you $50 - $60. I don't think anyone else on the list charges more than $20, but I can't be sure about Emma Caulfield as she hasn't done many conventions.

Wow, Matt Serra? Maybe that's a sign that more UFC fighters will start to make appearances.

I'll be set up at the show this year. I am pretty sure Dave Moulder is committed to being there also.

That's cool. Derek Woywood will also be there. He always has a really good selection of supplies in addition to the trading cards & comics he brings.

I might go to walk around a bit. Any other collectors going??

Given the guest lineup - YES. Most likely Saturday, but Perhaps Sunday. Not sure yet...

I plan on going to check it out on Saturday or Sunday. It's looking to be one of the better shows they've had in a long time.

I'm thinking I want to meet Emma Caulfield...

Would add another Buffy alumna to my list.

I saw this on the Wizard World site. Looks interesting for us card collector types.

He can't go to an actual card show but will go to a comic book show? What kind of collectors is he?

Seriously, lmk if you guys go Batman.

I will try to pin him down tomorrow. It would be fun to check out the show again, it's been a few years.

I should be there on Saturday. Kind of dumb they're doing it the weekend of Father's Day.

I actually found this confusing. I thought they were baseball-card like comic book covers not actual cards.

Ted: Father's Day weekend actually isn't a bad thing for shows. Dad can spend the day doing what he wants to do... going to a comic book show.
It's Mother's Day weekend that's the kiss of death for shows.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. They're baseball card themed variant covered comic books.

Yes, I was a bit confused too. But it does say "the three cards sell for $15 each" though it does go on to say "you can purchase the whole set of sirens for $30, saving $5 on each cover".

So are they selling cards or comics? Maybe you guys are right. Must not be worded too well though if none of us can figure it out for certain.

Emma is the reason I am going as well. Be there on Saturday. I think this is the first east coast show she has done.

I'll be flying in for the show this time. Looking forward to seeing my follow card talkers!
I will be there on Saturday only.
Take care, and see you then.

Chicagoland Expo

I will be set up at booth 1006 this year. If anyone would like some free passes LMK. Same deal as always. These are dealer passes if you want to use them LMK and I will have them available at the Exhibitors booth. These are free, but if you have some singles you want to give aways I won't say no. Badges must be returned to me each day so that someone else can use them the following day.

Having worked at the 1 show in Boston, I wish Wizard World would return soon. I still have my orange t-shirt and would work free again.
