You had me at "bar on site"!
I'm hoping to make this my first show since it's only a 4 hour drive. It's looking good so far!

I was at the last show and I think there were about 20 dealers and 5 artists.

The show was great for my first show in 5 years

We have our first EXCLUSIVE promo card in hand thanks to Marty and Boo Cards.



Like normal, one per person per day.
Dealers at the show will get one per table. So check out the dealer list online if you don't have a trading partner going to the show both days.

Great promo . . .

I think dealers should get a promo per day they attend -- just like collectors. . .

Just received promos from Largo Intergalactic ViE for the "The E-Mail" set. Not exclusive to the show, but still very cool. They are promos P1, P2, P3, P4, and P3.

They will be inserted at a rate of 2-3 per promo packet as there are not enough to put all 5 in each (There are only 50 or so P1's).

Pictures are on the website in the "Our Supporters" section!

Ed-

Not to critize or discourage you, but those cards are probably eight years old. I wrote about The E-Mail set in Aug. 2005. If the cards in your hand are new(er), I'd be very surprised because I never since heard from the guy who dreamed them up.

Very cool, I was wondering what happened to that company!

I don't discourage easily... Thumb Up

Yes, the cards have a copyright date of 2004. So they are actually 9 years old. But, I'd never seen them in person or ever had any in my promo book so they weren't widely distributed.

Apparently they are making a new push as they contacted me and wanted to send me cards. I'll never say no to that. I'll support them for supporting us. Hopefully something new comes from them and we'll have even newer stuff in the future.

OK. Promos look promising. Big Grin

Now, who wants to arrange a trade prior to the show?

My three posts are on Cardtalk trading page.

The next few weeks are the best time, otherwise, I will be bogged down with show prep.

Question about the 2012 promos:

I have P3 of John Metych and P4 of Craig Boldman

Are P1 and P2 the Connie Faye and Tom Kelly ones from the 2011 show ?

P1 and P2 are Spring 2012
P3 and P4 are Fall 2012
P5 and P6 will be Spring 2013

I'm sensing a pattern here... Wink

Artist Connie Faye will be joining us again on Saturday ONLY.

Connie's signature "gothic" style is very recognizable. She'll have original art and prints for sale. You can see her work at: Connie's Website

She'll also have limited quantites of the ToyCon promo she did the artwork for and the Scifi Cards P12 promo card which she did the art for. Dance
