    On the plus side, I’m glad the seller saved these from the dumpster. Low quality is better than no quality.

    I understand why collectors who view books as investments only want high grade books. But as a collector who enjoys reading his comics, this collection is in the kind of condition that I’m looking for. Reader copies rule! It’s an important comic that you can read without fear! What’s not to love?! Btw Gary, I love that you showed the seller and discussed the origin of the collection. Please do that more when you can. So many fun characters and stories in the comic community.

    You would love my local comic shop then. It's pretty messy and there are a ton of reader copy books. Along with new releases and current books. You always find something there.

    While it is crushing to see comics in damaged condition, low grade is still better than no grade. These reader copies will go to the fortunate collectors looking for the stories. Thank you for making them available to the comic community!

    Wow, that was kind of heartbreaking! I have most of the books you showed, brought off the shelf. (I'm old!) They, too, have been stored all over the place. My friends shed at one point... 🫣 Thankfully, they were always bagged and in comic book boxes. None are high grade (I read them too much 😊), but definitely not as bad as those. Great video. 👍🏻

    "Heartbreaking" was exactly the word I said to myself when I saw those two Star Wars' #42 copies. I love that issue just for the beautiful Al Williamson art, regardless of the first appearance. But then all of these Bronze Age books are right in my zone so it's sad to see all the damage. But still far better to see them even as reader's copies than in a dumpster.

    I buy low grade books all the time. It’s the best way to get some skin in the game. You just patiently wait for a good deal on an upgrade. I have a coverless Avengers #1, it was the only copy I could afford at the time. I can pull it out of the bag and read it without having to worry about damaging it.

    Great books Gerry but sucks they where are messed up. Well I am looking for my last few books AMS#316,AMS#601, Resident Evil #1,Chew#1,TMNT#1, Primer#2,Hulk#181, X-Men#1 1963, Amazing Fantasy#15 and Batman#1 1940 then I am done collecting comics so I am going to save up and get as many of those books as possible then call it done cause I already got 4 short boxes full of Keys, Low Print Runs,Rare Variants and cool covers.

    I have some of those books in my collection minus the stains and water damage. I didn't board all of mine but they have only been read once and are bagged. I'm thinking about selling my collection plus I have a long box of first issues of Image comics. I would love to see you do a video on Image comics because other than Spawn not a lot is ever said about the rest of the line. Great show but sad to see the condition of the books.
