Friday Archive Dive: Prepping for Comic Con International

Today's Archive Dive is from April 18, 2012, when I answered a Mailbag question about preparing for Comic Con International.

Q: So this year will be my first time at San Diego Comic Con, both as an attendee and exhibitor. I've exhibited at some other small-to-midsized cons, but I've never done anything near SDCC. 
So I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how much product to bring! I've got books, buttons, posters, and single comic issues, and I can guess the general ratio they'll probably sell at from previous cons, but the actual numbers are a mystery!

So should I play it safe and just bring a bit more than I usually have at a show, or am I almost guaranteed to sell way more product than a mid-sized show like ECCC or Baltimore?

SDCC's still a ways off but I figure it couldn't hurt to start getting everything in order for this crazy monster!

Thanks,
Mary
