Glad you got through the con crud! Cons are hard work, but in the end usually a good time, from both running a booth or buyer perspective I've found. My wife and I run a pretty large booth in a gaming show in Japan. It is so exhausting but fun. Of course shopping around and seeing what everyone else is doing is a lot of fun.

I think people are a bit fatigued with prices of comics, especially the big money books. Not sure how much longer the down trend will go but not a lot of people that want the big grails can actually afford them these days. 😅 I would really like a nice copy of Albedo #2. Maybe a first print TMNT #1. Probably my current goals. But I think I'd have to find someone willing to trade or I'd have to sell some of my collection first because just buying those right now would get me beaten by my wife. Maybe buried. 😖 Problem is, I don't really have much of a network so finding someone to trade with is unlikely. Probably best bet would be messaging eBay sellers and seeing if they'd trade instead but that comes with a bunch of its own problems. 🤷‍♂

Anyway... cool to see you back at it! And nice cosplay pictures. Awesome to see Hulkamania still alive today!
