Card artists John Czop, Michael Kraiger, and Darren Auck will be there to do custom sketches.

Dealers there include Shack members Scifi Cards (me ) and Tom Unique along with many others, that don't know they should be hanging out here, with lots of different cards from autographs, costume, and prop cards to sealed boxes and binders.

Hope to see a few of you there.  Many of the dealers also buy and trade, so bring your extras along!
