Do you bring a case to put them in to the convention or do they roll them up for you ..and just give you a tube?...ive always just been into the comics and statues. The art/ prints= totally new for me

Hey cougr! Honestly, the prints can vary greatly in price. I've spent anywhere from $15 on a print at a con on up to $200 on limited edition sold out prints. It's generally dependant upon if the prints are limited to a certain number, how popular they are, and how hard they are to find.
You can find a lot of great artwork at cons for cheap. When I went to Wizard World Chicago in August, I ended up with like 10 new prints and probably only spent about $80 on all of them. They were a combination of lesser known artists, on up to prints by Greg Horn.
When I have purchased prints in the past at these shows, I've either brought a hard plastic tube with a backpack like strap (from Blick Art Supplies), or I've brought my portfolio. The tube is definitely easier to carry around (especially if you have the strapped version), but the portfolio is better on the prints because it doesn't require you to roll them up. Generally, I try to avoid rolling the prints unless I have to.
These prints I have posted pics of are from Aspen Comics. They have an online store,
www.aspenstore.com where you can purchase them, or they also have weekly auctions on eBay.
Feel free to get ahold of me if you have anymore questions.
