Featuring Pawn Stars Toy Expert Steve Johnston, Sports Analyst Brett Lawson, Comicon.com Senior Editor Brendan M. Allen, Actor/Comedian Paul Vato, and Comicon.com Editor-In-Chief Erik Amaya, The Collectors’ Desk takes a look at the hidden corners of comics, conventions, collectibles, comedy, and canned goods.
This week, Steve, Brett, and Erik compare local shows to massive destination events like NYCC and SDCC and traveling shows that have events back to back nearly every weekend of the year, while Brendan and Paul talk about what to look for as a comics collector versus a comics reader at your local comic shops.
