My guess is Rittenhouse will have Marvel promo(s). Wonder why there's not much news. Sideshow Toys have been making several announcements, as well as some other statue manufacturers. Mattel had they're pre-sale quite some time ago.

yay!

AWESOME!

Thanks for posting.
I was just looking around for this info, since I was told it was coming up this week.

There's some errors with this. I'm not going to double check all of them, but I believe this is more accurate.

Endless World - Booth #629
Julio's NonSportCards - Booth #134

We'll have the Rittenhouse Archives Promos at our Table B-3.. Stop by and pick them up each day from Thursday to Sunday. A different Promo each day! No purchase necessary! If you're from Card Talk please let me know so I can place a face with your handle.. We've met many Card Talk Members over the years...

Does anybody know if Breygent will be there? I'm hoping for a new Grimm Promo anfd maybe some info about the set.



Check out my blog at Card Crazy

Breygent doesn't hold their own booth, but traditionally Tom can be found at Julio's booth. Breygent will have a presence at SDCC with the mystery packs, and I think there's a picture of a Grimm promo that will be in said packs up in the thread in the convention section

Errors in the booth listings or not, I'm just excited that it's not another hunt around the convention floor like last year's MU set.

au contraire - I enjoyed the hunt - the only pathetic thing is that some dealers REQUIRE A PURCHASE - many dealers give them away just for looking YAY!!!!!

I personally don't like the fact you have to make a purchase at some of the dealers.

I'll have to check my notes from last year on who requires purchases, because I'm having a friend that has no idea of what's a good deal and what I might want (which is very small and obscure). It's tough for me, since the guys I know know nothing about cards. They're at SDCC for art or other items.

I do see how it helps the manufacturers and dealers out by getting people to their booths. I have no problem with that, if I was attending.

If I can't pick up, have a friend pick up, or trade, I'm out of luck, since I refuse to buy off ebay, because, IMO, most SDCC stuff on ebay are there only because someone has no love for the items. Just there to make a buck.

That's exactly why I didn't enjoy the hunt Tattoo. The shops that required a purchase. Especially when there's 1 or 2 that I REALLY don't like doing business with to begin with.

I didn't mean to sound like I don't like hunting things around on the convention floor. That's part of comic-con! lol That's always fun be it cards, or legos or something else!

As for ebay, well that's your opinion and would be an entirely different thread of conversation lmao

It used to be fun. Try running around hunting for cards now with the crowds they have. Not fun!

What I'm talking about is when I see a card I really want, and no one has it for trade. And some seller has 10 of them at ridiculous price. Kinda like the Mattel pre-sell items went on ebay in 24 hours for double or more the price or more.

That's one of several reasons that I doubt I will ever go to SDCC. So, if ebay is my only option, it's probably the lesser of two evils.

If you are at Comic-Con on Friday, my son Seth will be there handing out HIS promo cards to anyone who will accept them. He'll either be wearing a reverse flash or a traditional aquaman costume. Never sure how long he will last but we will be walking the crowds the first hour and a half at least. I also have some of his promo cards from the last few years (2009 a set of three cards and 2011 his fifth anniversary Black Lantern promo card which we forgot to bring and never distributed). Seek us out and say Hi, and give my kid a thrill (he's seven). Thanks!

That's really cool.

In the Shows and Conventions section above, Breygent says that its Mystery Packs will contain SDCC exclusives:

A new Vampirella 2 piece puzzle
A new Warlord of Mars 2 piece puzzle

4 other new promos: Red Sonja, Vampirella, Dead World, Grimm

No word as to whether the only way to get these is to buy the Mystery Packs...

If anyone here is going to the SDCC I'd love one of the Marvel Bronze Age P2 promos. I'd be happy to trade for it.

I think I got you covered. You gotta keep us in mind for Canadian cards.

Thank you for dropping off Seth's 2011 promo for me at the NSU table in Allentown. I love these cards! Sorry that I missed you.
