Big Apple - Sept - CBCS?15659

Big Apple Con is Sept 25th
This new KingCon is also Sept 25th.

Choosing to purchase Big Apple because I thought CBCS would be there as they have for years.
But then I checked the News & Events and did not see a CBCS presence?

CBCS - no plans to attend Big Apple?

Yea... I dunno what's real or not.
But at least according to the Exhibitors drop down on the Big Apple Con site, CGC is listed there as an attendee.

I head that they weren't accepting comics at shows. I thought it was just a rumor, but a close friend confirmed it.

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user

The NYCC website I always thought was terrible. If it wasnt for the newsletter I wouldn't know who was coming.

Latest list for artist alley

And I assume that CBCS still cannot set up shop at NYCC due to exclusivity deals?

@Nuffsaid111
Last I heard that exclusivity deal ReedPop & CGC had was over. Not sure how true that is. If it is true, I hope CBCS does plan on attending. I'd like to see those new slabs in person, and it would be a nice time to unveil the Magazine slabs. #sometimesoon

Yea, if you just look at the "comic guests" it only shows the "big" names and can be misleading. Glad to see Jerome Opeña on the list. What this list doesn't include are artists who sit at a retailers booth during the show. Mico Suayan, Skan, Artgerm, Mattina and Esad Ribic were a few artists the past two shows who weren't in artist alley, but in booths on the floor.

If true, it's hard to imagine how it could be anything other than a collusion and restraint-of-trade issue. It's a Convention...almost the very definition of bringing together multiple options for consumers to choose from. But I assume Beckett has their own lawyer who can send a letter to the New York A.G. or file a lawsuit if they choose to.

This came up 5yrs ago when CGC and ReedPop first went into their exclusivity agreement.
