The Topps/SDCC grudge

[dth1971]

Even though I recently took part in the July 18-21, 2013 San Diego Comic-Con, why do you think Topps no longer wants to have a SDCC booth since the late 2000's except last year when it was plugging the Mars Attacks anniversary or something like that?

what makes you think there's a "GRUDGE" going on, as you put it?  You tend to put words (i.e. LOTS of them) in other people's mouths, why not just e-mail Topps and ask them?

Like Zen says, why do you think there's any issue between Topps and Comic-Con? They probably just don't have anything related to promote...

Dammit, now you've got me putting words in their mouth...

I thought there was word some years back that topps was cutting back on expenses - SDCC and NYCC were low hanging fruit

What do you mean "low hanging fruit"?

What do you mean "low hanging fruit"?

It makes me think of an old man's plums, if you know what I mean. But, really, low hanging nuts would be more appropriate for that unfortunate image.

It's just money. It's hugely expensive to set up there

Exactly, there could be a lot of reasonable, logistical explanations out there as to why Topps chose not to be there.
