Joanna, what 24 costume card did you pick up? Also, out of curiousity, what HP prizes were donated for the raffle?
Okay, so here we go. It was raining bad, or what have pictured the outside of the building for everyone to see.
We picked up free promos at the door, and some for You Go Girl (a new childrens trading card) and some Alias and Family guy with Inkworks. They left the show around 12:30, so I wasn;t able to get e picture of them either. But Rittenhouse had a wondeful display of card and costumes prior to being cut up for furture sets. You will see these pictures below.
I learned that a new Charmed set will be released in 2006, and this Novemeber will be a full set of cards from the show LOST, complete with costumes and Autos!!!
The deals I found!!! I got a costume card of Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr in the mummy Returns) for $5!!! I also saw a Disney Pixar film cell I wanted that was $5, but by the time I went back for it, that dealer had packed up and left early. Good thing I got his email address!!! I also bought a box of 24 season 3 cards. Your odds to get an insert is 1 costume in 36 packs and 1 auto in 36 packs. The box consists of 36 packs, but i hear you will either get both or just one or the other. The box was only $28 with this one vender, and was higher with others ($40). We opened it last night and got a costume card (Chase) and, get this, 2 Autos!!! Navi Araz and Ryan Chappelle (those are their names in the show).
I also found, but did not buy, a Cole costrume card frmo Charmed for only $15 and boxes of PoA Update for $50, but the seller offered them to me for $40. I just couldn't do it with SS coming out this month, even if it was a good price.
There were 4 sketch artists there, and I watched one (I think Darren Auck) drawing a HP sketch!! It was of harry when he is first about to touch Buckbeak. The cost to have a sjetch done was $20 for pencil only and more for ink or color. Next show, I think I am going to do this.
A lot of venders started to leave early, maybe due to the rain and the lack of loads of people being there in Saturday. As Joanna said, my husband and I met her, and I would gladly like to see her again. I would not avoid her as she did not seem scattered at all. Her two children are abosultely beautiful, and were extremely friendly too. I hope to see them again.
The show is held at as community college about 20 minutes or less away from me. It is held in two seperate rooms. Here are the pictures of the two rooms:
NSU was there selling their current magazine (which I did pick up) as well as past issues. This is were the raffle was being held(the board with all the winners is behind one of the guys):
And tomunique was there, at least, Tom Jr was there. They brought a lot of card boxes and binders. They had some new stuff, but a lot of older harder to find items, which seemed to be a really big hit. I saw them with a lot of stuff, and when I walked by later, a lot had been purchased. They seemed to be doing really well at this show. Good for them!!! Not sure what the other guys name is, but he is really nice. Tom Jr is on the left:
And now for Rittenhouse, which had a wonderful presented table. I am sure Joanna would be able to tell you more about it.
Here are some cards:
Here is a costume that will be used in costume cards, I believe it is from Enterprise:
And two costumes for cards for Gallactica (Joanna, please correct me if I am wrong):
Ao although a lot of dealers packed up early, the show was great. Can't wait for Dee's show in August and the Philly show again in October!
And one last picture of me, Joanna and my husband Ryan. Joanna is in the middle:
So were any of those winning names forum members?
