Toronto Comic Book Show (TBCS) April 24 - 2016

Just got back from a really fantastic show. The Toronto Comic Book Show has quickly become Ontario’s hottest pop-up comic book events  featuring the very best in Bronze Age, Silver Age, Golden Age and Modern books from publishers like Aspen, DC, Image, Marvel, Valliant and Wildstorm to name just a few. 45 vendors carrying all genres of raw and graded Comic Books were in attendance and I picked up some real gems.. Among my finds, Red Sonja #1, Ghostly Tales #112 (Charlton), Captain Marvel #34 and my favorite picks of the day Ms. Marvel #16 and # 18 (First Appearance of Mystique). These are by no means the only books I picked up today I spent alot more money that I wanted. Ahh well ...

 The Toronto Comic Book show is held 4 times per year, the nest show is in June. 

 Unfortunately this one was slightly out of my price range so I had to leave it behind for the time being. 

 Dealers not only inside the rooms but in the hallways as well. 

This guy had a lot of really nice Silver & Bronze Age horror books in surprising good condition. I picked up some mid to high grade Charlton books from the early 70s, very happy with my purchases.

 Fantastic variety of books to fit all budgets, I spent about $300.00 today which it a bit more that I had planed for. 

 The prices at this show were better than those found the bigger shows. Still with the explosion of the comic collecting market in the last couple of years, prices still weren't cheap. 

 Some good deals in these boxes but also a lot of shit as well...

Here's my Ms. Marvel #18 the first appearance of Mystique. The price he was asking was $100.00, I talked him down to $85.00, still not cheap but this is a major key I've been looking for and needed to have.

 Ms. Marvel #18 close up. As you can see this is a very high grade copy. 

Ms. Marvel #20, first time she wore the black costume. I minor key, but a key just the same. I paid $40.00 for this very high grade copy. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Definitely a Ms. Marvel kind of day for me. I also picked up this high grade copy of #16 which is the first cameo appearance of Mystique. This is definitely worth getting if you can find it. The asking price on this one was $80.00 but I talked him down to $65.00.
