Scifi CardsPromos at the Chicago Non-Sport Card Show
Thought I would post here since not everybody that collects promos watches the shows forum.
We have a good start on our promos so far this year, and hopefully a few more still coming in.
You can see them all at:
http://www.nonsportcardshows.c...he-promo-cards1.htmlWe also have a album on our Facebook Page. Like us there and keep up with all the additions.

David RThe Zombies promo looks to be the same as one that has popped up recently on ebay, except that the one I have seen (and have) doesn't have the Chicago show logo on the back

igman7While it is the same drawing, there are a number of differences in the photoshop coloring. The diferences include the change to her costume color, stockings and hair, also the light levels were played with.

Will you bring some to the Philly Show in a couple of weeks for purchase ?

I would certainly hope that neither Ed or Kevan do as having the promoters selling show promo packs really defeats the whole "show exclusive" idea.

Iggy... Did I not have 4 tables? Should I not get my allotment of packs to do with as we please? Just saying...

Jason00I was hoping you would do the supporting memberships for this show, but I didn't see any mention of that.

Ah, an interesting debate that would make. Some might say that as a promoter of the show that you wiave the rights of a "dealer", but I don't think that i would fully agree. I would think that if you did an appropriate amount (1 per day per table), it shouldn't be an issue. I was more speaking to an "en masse" sale as there were plenty of left over promos that were not handed out.

One could also say as a promoter of the show we can decide to do whatever we please with the extras.
The card companies entrusted us to promote their upcoming sets with the promos. Getting them into the hands of as many people as possible would seem the best way to serve their interests. Hiding them in a box of destroying them serves no promotional purpose at all.
That said, the American Horror Story promos will be held and given out at the Fall Show. And I am seriously considering doing that with ALL the promos that are left since there were so many that didn't make the show due to the flooding.

Like I said, an interesting debate...with plenty of rational thoughts on both sides.

WarriorBabeI noticed a distinct lack of Game of Thrones P4 on eBay after the show, the few that were on there went for silly money or stupid BIN prices. Now I know why!
Hopefully after Philly there will be plenty of P4s& P5s.
