We also will have guest artist Kevin B Cleveland on hand all weekend.
Same location: Holiday Inn in Carol Stream, IL.

And FREE promos at the door.

We're looking for a volunteer or 'team' to assist with the entry table for the Fall Show.
Duties include handing out the promo packs and door prize tickets and helping with the mailing list sign up.
If we have a couple of volunteers we could certainly work in shifts to make sure you get to see the show as well.
Anyone interested?September 28, 2021, 05:21 AM

First up is Chicago P22, art by creative guest Kevin B Cleveland. We decided that a Plague Doctor was appropriate for this year.
You know the drill... 1 per person per day at the door. Kevin will have a supply to sign as well.September 30, 2021, 04:35 AM

Still looking for front door help for Friday. Worst case is I'll hand out the promos at my table, but I'd rather have a greeter!October 03, 2021, 09:19 AM

Oh for shows like this in the UK, fat chance of it ever happening though.

This one is for SATURDAY:
A hobby box of Historic Autograph's 1945: The End of WWII.
One entry per person, guests only. Dealers not eligible to win. And all that for the price of admission, which again is FREE.
Friday's door prize is PENDING, partially because if we don't have a volunteer person/team for the front door I don't know if we'll be able to hand out tickets to everyone. Any volunteers?October 07, 2021, 05:44 AM

Next promo SHOULD arrive in time for the show, if it does not it will be given out at the Spring Show.
Perna Studios is sending us P1 for Elementals 2 featuring art by Jose Carlos Sanchez.
This one will be especially limited and will be split equally between Friday and Saturday. So come early to be sure you get yours.
I'll try to remember to post when I physically have the cards for the show.October 18, 2021, 10:01 AM
igman7I can’t wait to see all the peeps on Friday!!!
For my part, I will be offering expanded offerings in my Toys (South Park, Family Guy, TMNT, 31” Big Figs), Garbage Pail Kids (empty display boxes for several series as well as new cards) and periodicals (will have a bunch of American Cinematographer/Comic Buyers Guide and Previews as well as an expanded offering of comics including key 1st appearances of She-Hulk, Mayday Parker and Moon Knight)…and, you know, cards.

Iggy,
When you get something "Witcher" related, let me know. I know the figures are coming out soon. Don't know about the cards.

Rittenhouse was awesome and got us the Game of Thrones Iron Anniversary Series 2 P2 convention promo for the show!
On per person, per day at the door.
The Perna promos did arrive in time, and will be limited. We have set some aside for Saturday, so come early either day and you should be good.

Everybody's got to eat. Why not join us for an informal get together at Burger Theory in the hotel.
They are open until 10pm, so we won't be rushed like in the Spring.
Nothing fancy, just a good time with people with common interests.
