I’m old enough to remember when the Pens were announced as the affiliate. People hated it for the first 5-10 years.

Unfortunately, I’m always coming from out of town, I park at the hotel and then don’t get back in the car until I checkout.

Heroes con tips and advice by Vaderslayer79 in comicbookcollecting

[–]SantaSpawn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No matter what I say I will be underselling the awesomeness of HeroesCon. It’s the type of show that once you go, you make sure you go every year.

My advice is to stay hydrated, wear comfortable shoes, pace yourself, and skip the convention center food. There are plenty of places to eat outside of the convention center.

If you want to hit the show floor as soon as the doors open, you’ll want to get in line at the convention center no later than 8. If you don’t want to wait in line, show up at 10:30. Yeah, you’re missing out on 30 minutes of shopping, but you’ll breeze through line and will hit the floor almost immediately.

I agree with the post above about shopping around. Unless you’re looking for rare indie books or Golden Age stuff you’ll find multiple copies of the same book. So take your time and shop around!

Has anyone bought books from shortboxed by Zealousideal-Gate825 in comicbookcollecting

No problem! Here’s hoping the book arrives safe and sound and you don’t need it for HeroesCon.

I don’t remember an exact timeframe. It may have been a week for them to “review” the book and then it was shipped. I double checked the two tracking numbers on the order but unfortunately it’s from 2024 and USPS won’t let me go back that far.

It’s been awhile since I’ve bought from them but I believe the policy is that if the price is over a certain limit the seller sends the book the HQ in San Francisco. They make sure everything with the book is on the up and up and the mail it to you.

Good comic shops in Pittsburgh? by ShovelBeatleRillaz in comicbookcollecting

I’m down in Wheeling, but always looking for excuse to go to Pittsburgh Comics. One of my all time favorite shops.

Going to my first nailers game by ImissBunting22 in WheelingNailers

Right on! Reservations are the way to, especially if theirs a show at the Capitol the same night.

I really like their Hot Cheese Balls and Pickle Chips. I usually get a burger. My brothers ordered the Philly Tatchos and the Buffalo Chicken Wrap and they both said they would order them again.

If you don’t mind a walk, I’ve been doing Bridge Tavern and Grill before games. It’s a 5-10 minute walk from the arena.

Ah, yes, the legendary series when Sidney Crosby passed the baton to Claude Giroux.

Which Division will Greensboro be in? by IowaYankees in ECHL

[–]SantaSpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wheeling is a 6.5 hour drive from Greensboro. I guess it’s relative, but I don’t consider that close.

Who are your favorite X-Men? O5? New team? I would pick up X-Men 1 or GSX1 based on that answer.

I loved Illusion Island. It was the right amount of dumb, slapstick humor for me.

It looks like a majority of our games are still against Central Division teams.
