Are there any Trade paperbacks, posters,  sketches,  shirts or buttons sold 
at the tables?
Any Con exclusive Groo stuff?
Does Sergio draw sketches for you for a price?
How much money should somebody have ready to take to a Groo panel for the 
merchandise?<<
Nothing sold at the panels.

Lots of books, some other stuff at Sergio's table; Mark doesn't get a table 
-- he's always on a panel, it seems. Stan has his own booth with Usagi books, 
etc. Tom had a table in Artist Alley one year, and he sold some of his own 
original work, as well as a few Groo covers, etc., he inked, but I don't think he 
came last year. Dark Horse also carries Groo stuff -- and they have a large 
booth, not just a table.

Sometimes there is Con-exclusive Groo stuff -- usually a Groop member brings 
it.  Eric has brought "luggage tags" and rubber bracelets; Gary brought the 
membership cards ... and several years ago, a T-shirt. I made up some bracelets 
for the 20th Anniv, and Carolyn made "mulch cakes" for people who attended the 
panel that year. Dark horse has freebies -- bookmarks, buttons, deck of tiny 
cards that may contain something "Grooish." Usually Gary scoops up as many of 
these as he can to send to non-attending members.

Sergio does both free "quick sketches" and more involved ones for a price (he 
has a portfolio of finished work, or will do requests). Stan does, too. Both 
will autograph books, T-shirts, etc., free.

Sergio sells items at their retail prices -- cash, and he takes care of the 
tax. Out-of-print items are a bit more. Original art -- figure to spend up to 
$150 for a drawing; sometimes he has the originals of the pages submitted for 
his book, and those are more.
