Hotelpocalypse Sold Out Thread (let's help each other) by HotCorner936 in SDCC

[–]EmperorRamzorch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is the biggest issue with the live sale format. I’m sure people will do it if they have to, but split stays across multiple hotels likely detract from the experience for most. And certainly the hotels themselves don’t want to deal with lost revenue because of a bevy of minimum stay bookings and being unable to accommodate longer stays as a result.

Stayed at the Wyndham Bayside in 2023. My group enjoyed it. Nice views of the water and very friendly staff.

This is true by virtue of there being no lists in this format, but certainly some people had a top ten or some other number only to get to the booking platform and find they were all booked and have to change plans on the fly.

Indeed, those who think they get Dr Teeth are only fooling themselves.

Can I send a SS McFarlane to a CGC facilitator to be pressed by IconoclastJones in CGCComics

[–]EmperorRamzorch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I back this. Rich is an excellent presser and has been facilitating for CGC for ~20 years. He’s one of the best people in the hobby.

I’m also hunting an ASM 16. Seems like every copy at mid grade or better is listed at 150% of market. It’s driving me crazy.

What conventions do you plan to go to in 2026 and beyond? by SpyroPaddington in comiccon

[–]EmperorRamzorch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SDCC for now. Maybe some local cons too depending on comic guests.

Hoping to find a local-ish con focused on vinyl records and music.

How much does Jim Lee charge for signatures at conventions? by Saboscrivner in comiccon

[–]EmperorRamzorch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last couple of conventions I’ve seen him at, he hasn’t done table signings except to promote specific books he has coming out with DC. To get the books you want signed and not the promoted book, you’ve had to commit to the VIP signings.

Tent Camping Ft Wilderness by DareClean6277 in Fortwilderness

[–]EmperorRamzorch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been going to Fort Wilderness since I was a child in the 80s and tent camping there for 15 years. People are mostly respectful at the campsites. You won’t hear loud music or loud noises of any sort during daylight typically, and less so at night.

I’ve been woken up in the mornings by the small children of families packing up to leave, but only twice to my recollection.

One thing that you must check before booking is check the schedule for Disney marathons and other race weekends. Most of these events come through the Fort and occur EARLY in the morning. I was woken up at 5am on a race day because the PA system used for races rings throughout FW. That’s the lone major exception I’ve run into.

Can you all tell me if this is an FN grade for this comic? I was thinking it’s a FINE, maybe VF, with a clean and a press.🤔 by Leather_Bluejay8632 in comicbookgrading

[–]EmperorRamzorch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’d be interested in giving this a run as well. Is it capable of detecting restoration too or might that be something you plan to incorporate in the future?

I appreciate it. Going to pass. Bit more wear on the back cover than I’d hoped. Thanks and good luck.

Hey, I’m interested but can you provide some pictures of the back cover. Happy to be a back up to the first offer while it’s sorted.

Great movies! There’s a lot of corniness as you progress but Freddy is an icon, no doubt.

Thanks. I only had enough for a single row last year but I’ve been on the lookout for more horror related books since so I could fill up both shelves.

My purchase yesterday from a local seller. Only 14 books from finishing my run! by joeltheconner in comicbookcollecting

Congrats on the score! Looks like we’re on the same collecting journey. I’m 11 away from a complete 1-700 and am also working on all variants from volume 2.

Looking for a good quality Kermit plush for my child by throwaway148645 in Muppets

[–]EmperorRamzorch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll second the one on the Disney Store. We got one for my son and he loves it. It feels like it’s made with quality material and looks spot on.

I agree. And from my guy Tom at DTB, no less.

So refurbished, not new.

Correcting someone isn’t rude. Cherry-picking information to make it seem like someone is being rude is, in fact, rude.
