Some of you know I´m a nerd but if you don´t, well let me put it simple: I play Magic The Gathering, I read at least one book per week and I collect some comic books.
Well, on this friday I will be attending The Conque, the best Comic Book and hobby convention in México.
The cool part? I will be attending as a store, selling Vintage comics. This means, Comic books from the Golden Age (1930 - 1950) and the Silver Age (1956 - 1970).
The Convention is celebrated in Querétaro state and I am currently living in Puebla, that means I have to rent a cargo van at least a 3-4 hour drive.
As you can imagine, the past week and this one, have been all about preparing the merchandise, getting T-shirts, flyers and preparing the logistics. This is the main reason I haven´t been very active on Steemit - posting and commenting, don´t worry, I´m still voting - and I want to show you a bit of what I am preparing to bring to this annual event.

I will be Livestreaming on DLive my whereabouts soon! I will keep you posted!
Wow! You also do book sales? What a diverse man. It's wonderful really. I wish you an impressive sales at The Conque
You do all these and still squeeze out time to upvote? You are amazing. God bless
thats an extreme volume of comic books you got there ! i was never into comic books that much, but i did watch tons of marvel's animations with spiderman and xman on cartoon network back when i was a kid ! golden times !
They aren´t all mine, most are my dad´s but we are going to the convention altogether so we have more selling power haha. My dad is a marvel fan, im more of a DC fan.
That is an awesome hobby to have i have two comics stashed away somewhere lol
I wish you good sales of your comic books. Hard work is the key
Using small orange tag instead of the conventional price tags is genius. The price tags brings a lot of damages . Well done
Yeah man, the bags are unusable after sticking the price tag! Thats crap for a collector cause they have to buy another one :/ not a lot of money, but might as well spare them from the double spending.
One book per week is very cool. Such grant one an explosive stream of knowledge which might never run dry. I hope you also read novels apart from all the motivational because people mostly like reading motivational. I hope to acquire this skill someday
Sometimes its less, but some weeks i just stay glued to the book til I finish it haha. I only read historic novels, fantasy and science fiction, no motivational stuff for me at least on this era, a while back I used to read a lot of Coehlo whos a big latinamerican motivational writer but not anymore.
Wow, you have a lot to take to the event. We will be expecting your live stream on Dlive
comics are fun to read, guess they are worth traveling so far...
Wow este es uno de mis sueños, soy Venezolano con mucho orgullo, me atraen los COMICS, nunca he tenido una historieta en mis manos pero me gusta esa era donde todo era la lectura. El primer personaje de los COMICS, fue Superman que hizo su primera aparición en 1938 creado el escritor estadounidense: Jerry Siegel y el artista canadiense: Joe Shuster de aqui Parte la era de oro y por su éxito surgieron otros personajes como Batman, el Capitán América entre otros espero que te valla super en esa convención. Tienes buen material te felicito y gracias por tu apoyo en mi post amigo @anomadsoul soy nuevo en esta plataforma.
@anomadsoul nice collection of comics .if I read a comic book in my dreams I became some kind of comic hero ..but these are good for experiance.
Nice collection, My brother has a lot of stickers and albums.
wow if you like comics, I could not know how many you have, it must be a great treasure for you, I think you need about 10 people to order some of that stuff, you have a fortune there, so sure it will be beneficial to your pocket that event, I wish you all the luck in the world, a hug
Cool stuff..
It's the era of the nerds 😝
@saywha would have an orgasm on this. @anomadsoul are you going to arrange all those boxes by your lonesome or you have an assistant?
Haha, sounds like you'll be having some fun! Good luck with selling those comic books.
My lord, your collection gives me a pretty big chub, dude. Hope that you can move a good amount of merchandise and have a good time at the convention though!
Nerd alert!!! Ahahahha I gasped at the The World's Finest you have there and the JLA at the bottom.
You also have some Spiderman as I can see. Show us some of the mad loot or better yet send us shirts! hahahaha make it a contest.
Nice hobby! I'm trying to get my son into comic books so this weekend we're going to a Free comic books event.... I don't know about those you're selling, but these modern ones are quite expensive - at least where I live!
I would say, you are flooded in comics!
I feel ashamed to share this with you ( you being a comic enthusiast) that I have never read a single comic in my life.
And here I am, commenting on your comic post.
But books, it's a completely different story. I love books, I live in the books. And I breathe one book each week.
Now, question is, what kind of books you love to read?
Nice to see I'm not the only one living with boxes of comic books. I can't claim to be a comic book store, though. :)
But then, mine aren't from the golden or silver ages, but the one after that, mostly between 1979-1985, when I was 12-19. I have some pretty fond memories of them growing up. They were a great refuge from the vicissitudes of teenage life. :)
Following your father's dream, that's awesome! Did he have that extreme love for comics as well? Is that why he ran the store during your youth?
really a very large collection eric :D
Do not you have a habit like me? For example, when I sort my magazines and books, I start reading, browsing and flipping them. In the end, everything lasts very slowly)))
So nice to know that you also love to read and collect comic books sir. People nowadays having life too busy because of internet and no time for any kind of books especialy comics book. We will surely wait for your livestreaming sir @anomadsoul. Love to know more about you sir.
I can't wait sir, keep up the good work!
oh, nice correction!
Hi, I'm "nota"
I thank you but I just self-introduction.
happy you!!
This is pretty cool. My husband would definitely love to come and check out the comic books from the 80's.
Looks like you have a lot of work in front of you.
Good luck @anomadsoul
wowow you have so many!
Vaya amigo no Crei que supiera tantas cosas de los Comic debes de tener mucho conocimiento.
Quisiera comprar uno de esos comics ...me vendes uno ?
The comics...the only place where DC wins to Marvel jajaja
@anomadsoul, That's interesting to heard you read one book per week. Reading gives up massive experience and gain our brain also. Otherwise could control mind better. I saw your boxes of comic books when you ready to sell buyers.
I think with above decision you'll get massive experience but you already got it. More experience will increase more sales. :D I wish you for success as your wish plans in nest Friday. I know massive demand to golden age and another to silver age.
I would be very happy to read all those comics. we should all enjoy what we like hahaha
Great you live an exciting life.
I live that
I also need to do this.
