@@joeydrakeward4077 I agree. The collections history should have no bearing on the purchase unless it was bought on the blind which Gary would have to own so either way.....Gary stop the whining! It's in poor taste. It comes off like you were embarrassed by the purchase. It's okay to foul a ball off.

IF the 129 ASM was in that deal, I'd snap bought the lot of books for 15 hundy! EASY decision. THUMBS UP!

he picks up 8 long boxes in 1 day, that's my whole collection. and yes, i need a X-Force #1, good haul.

I’d kill to find a score even half as good as this in Australia. This was easily worth 1500, if you ever sell x men 32 I’d be interested. One of the few I need to complete a full x men run 1-544

your videos kept me sane while having covid alone in a room for two weeks ..thank you for your vids i appreciate them. im ok now and back to the real world . keep it comic brother !

Thank you!

Great video, always great facts Gary. X-men 129, ASM 299, Hulk 271, Secret Wars 8. I had a buddy with zero comic knowledge pick his favorites 😁.

Just found a batman457 myselfand sent off to CGC for my first ever submission. Thanks for all you videos and the knowledge you share

Less than $2 a book overall with some 8.0+ keys and you'll make most of the $1,500 (or all +, depending on the grades) back on just the ASM 37 and 129. Great pick up and no way you did overpay, in spite of the volume of garbage in there. Book to send: SW 8, ASM 252, Batman 457, X-Men 129 and ASM 300.

Man, I really need to buy a collection. Great video Gary!!!

$1500 isn’t bad man. Not bad at all.

Hey Gary, Looking like a nice fine so far, I am 6 mins in and looks like a bit of a time capsule with the Wolverine mini, X-Factor 1/2's etc, First Bishop etc. looking forward to the rest of vid... Some pretty weird condition issues, maybe on where they have been stored over the years. :D Greetings from Scotland

Gary Great fun video as always. I think you got a great deal for the price. Should have another video What else was in the other boxes? Was there a lot of duplicates? I have been buying for over 35 years and do a local show for 10 years. Surprisingly not everyone is looking for the keys. Looking forward to your next video

A lot of books for sure... $price seems ok but you have a very sharp eye...Asm129, Asm300, MshSW8, Nm98 Xmen &Batman books 👍all the best for New Years.. cheers and stay safe..

Coming soon to the first auction of 2021. Even these smaller hauls, you still find some gems.

I love the videos where you ask us to choose the books you send in to cgc. Keep up the good content

I always love to see someone going through a longbox of comics. You never know what might appear!

$1500 seems like a really good deal for 3000 books! Nice job!

I almost feel shamed by this video. I buy for the love of reading the books. I have maybe half of what you found. I’ll say my 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s books are likely bought all low grade because I couldn’t afford what you found, single issues, in a high grade like a ASM 300. With this said, if you paid 1500 for 8 long boxes that include Amazing Spider-Man 37, 129, 252, 300, X-Men 129, 142, Hulk 271, Daredevil 168 and two new mutants 98....You made out like a bandit because the seller should have got more out of you, which he knew what he had. Regardless of condition, the collection paid for itself and all are flip able. I’ll give you 1500 for that collection. Lol

Gary you lucked out with that collection with some great keys for the price. Even with the condition of many of those books it’s hard to bargain with someone to get a price like that. For the books I’d like to see Batman 457, Omega Man 3, Uncanny X Men 129, Daredevil 168, ASM 300. Great video as always, happy holidays!!

Spidy 299,300 SW8, New Mutants 98 & Transformers 1. Thanks for sharing your collection & knowledge with us. Great fun

The Fact that you find all these collections🤯 Word of Mouth Here I Come🗣🗣🗣🗣 I vote on the Batman Issue to send to CGC 👌🏽

Great video, After cgc costs and new bags and boards, time in for cleaning and pressing... you'll make your money plus profit... don't know if it will be a lot of profit. But I'd be down for buying some of those. Lol

Hey Gary. Good vid mate. I'm happy to buy the ASM BOOKS from you raw...

It's been 30 years since you could wander into a garage and find a box of comics that the person had no idea what they could possibly have. You are very lucky my friend? Absolute envy understates watching you flip thru that trove wtg

Nice video ,my choice = the Batman Tim drake issue, X-men 129, asm300, Wolverine #1, X-men #142...just going with my gut ...& think that it’s a no brained towards selling , someone will need/ want any one of these books ...but like you don’t know that already. Great to see ya with another collection...means future videos. Thanks for all the hard work that goes with making these videos ...always impressed by the great content.

Just getting into collecting from a local lcs, setting up pull lists, emailing about variant covers before foc, and now am looking at buying lots/collections. This video just gets me hyped that there collections like this out there to find, the books aren’t pristine, but I’d rather find coveted books in a downgrade, then meh in a 9.8. I feel like a asm 300 or secret wars will only grow in value

Love these videos. 👍

I would have liked to see how you graded the comics but that's because I'm trying to learn how to grade and what to look for. :)

At least this guy was able to look after these books and have them bagged & boarded.

Wow! Even in the shape the books are in, they are awesome. Thanks for the show. Stay safe.(Amazing Spiderman #300)

AWESOME COLLECTION VIDEO

Still a great collection dude! ASM 252, 298, 299, 300, SW8. Can’t wait for the follow up video!

damn fine haul. well done

Great Vid! Thanks

The first time i watched you flip through a box i couldn't keep up

I would send ASM 252, 299, 300, the error book, and the NM98.

First of all, I feel you are very fair to these sellers who have very questionable mid to high grade books. Right away my picks are Secret Wars 8, ASM 299+300, Batman 357 and 457 (New Mutant 1 came close for my fifth pick! Enjoyed your video!

awesome work mate

Send in the X-men 129, ASM 252, ASM 300, DD 168, and the NM 98, I think those are the best bang for your buck. Honorable mention, Transformers 1.

Great video as always! I vote for the ASM 252, 298, 299, 300 and the X-Men 129.

Love this type of video

Great video Brother Thanks for sharing 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇺🇸🇨🇦🎉💯

Awesome as always. I'd say ASM 300, Rocket Racoon and Deadpool. You're right about the condition, I'd expect better from a shop. With the amount of newsstand comics you showed you might be looking at the very picked over back issues that were left over when they closed. Just own it now - that strawberry shortcake is going in the personal collection

I used to collect comics as a kid. All of this modern jargon is confusing. Lol. Was cool to see that I own a lot of those X-men comic books and will dig them out of my parents attic for my kids. Cool vid man. Just subbed.

Wow that's cool I got to try this

I have that Batman 457 newsstand with 000 inside. It’s not the second print with the “new Robin issue” at the top. Is mine a keeper? I vote Secret Wars 8, Amazing 252,299,300 and New Mutants 98

The Old Man picks Brave & Bold 200, Bats 457, Omega Men 3, DD 168, and Sec Wars 8. Good luck moving those X-Men & X-Force 1’s. When I ran a shop called Comics America back in the 90’s, we used them for door prizes at any special event we held.

So many books turned in by you. That bill must add up.

Very cool Gary

I would love to be able to buy a collection of this size.

Wolverine #1, Batman #357, X-Men #129, DD #168, Hulk 271 Love it when you let us “watch over your shoulder” as you look through those collections. Good luck with those CGC’s...

It’s awesome to go through boxes of comics. That’s part of the fun. Here’s my vote, Batman 357, transformers 1, uncanny xmen 129, ASM 300 and daredevil 168. Good luck, man!

That's so disappointing! The number of books that should be great are in bad condition. :-( I went to a comic shop close to an old job where the owner was old and nothing (and I mean nothing) was in very fine condition, let alone excellent. Here are the books I think you should send out: New Mutants 98, ASM 300, Secret Wars #8, Uncanny X-Men 242, and ASM 299. I think you will eventually make a profit from this collection, but it probably won't be much. Good luck and Happy New Year Gary!!!

Whenever you get an ASM 300, you have to get it graded.

Hey Gary, Thanks foe the video. My picks for CGC are BatMan 457 - OmegaMen 3 - Uncanny X-Men 129 - Hulk 271 & ASM 300.

Great collection

Rad stuff man.

First Jason Todd, Batman error book, first appearance of Lobo, the first Transformers, and the first appearance of hell fire club. That's so crazy how beat up those books are from a comic shop. I mean my 90s books are rough but I was 5,6,7 years old then too hahaha

Hey Gary been watching the channel for about a year, love the content keep doing you my friend! I vote for Batman 457, ASM 300, ASM 252, Secret wars 8, ASM 299! You made this one hard, keep it comics!

Gary, to be brutally honest, the condition of the books and the price you paid, made me weep. I think you were very generous with your offer, but hopefully you won't lose money. My choices to send are: Brave and the Bold # 200, Batman # 357, Uncanny X-Men # 142, Secret Wars # 8 and New Mutants # 98.

Yay, you found another collection. I understand your disappointment for the condition of the books, being that they were from a LCS. Save as many as you can. ASM 252,300. Batman 457. SW 8. NM 98. Keep it comics.

I have over 1500 books from 90’s and above . Non are CGC wife got subscription for Christmas this year. Anyway you can help determine which books should I do first. I have all my books login in CLZ.

Wow, alot of goodies in there.

I've never been overly concerned by grades, so long as everything presents well idc if it's a 4 or a 9. I'd be over the moon with the first Deadpool, Punisher or Venom haha. I vote ASM 300, Batman 357, New mutants 98, Uncanny 129 and Secret wars 8. Good pulls man!

Here are the 5 picks: X-Men 129, New Mutants 98, ASM 252, ASM 298, ASM 300. Good luck on the grades, you will need it. Great video Gary! 👍🏻

Overall I think this is still a really good collection to pick up some great books right now👍

O bought one stabbed book from eBay. My only other CGC book is a Gold CGC Signed (by Layman) issue Chew #1 i had him ink at the Denver ComicCon a few years ago.

Awesome collection! It is weird that they were in that sort of condition. Maybe all the better conditioned stuff was already picked through?

ASM 300 , SW 8 , OM 3 , NM 98 & the Jason Todd.P.S. great video good luck on the 25 9.8’s

Sweet video. Really great info Gary. I would pick ASM 298 299, 300. Secret Wars 8, Transformers 1.

Batman 357, Omega Man 3, New Mutans 98, Secret Wars 8, X-Men 142. Hoping your Wolvy Mini Series where in good shape. Would have picked ASM 252 & ASM if they looked in better shape :) Thanks again for the awesome vid and GL in the wild. 1500 doesnt look too bad at all, just a lot of work to sell off some of the runs that you do not want to keep. Looks like a sound purchase to me just based on a few books. Greetings from Scotland

It's a cool 90's time capsule. I get why the ASM 300 not being a 9+ is a bummer, but slabbed at even a 7.0 would pay off a decent chunk of that collection.

I’d give anything to find those ins any condition raw.. great find.... ams300, hulk, omegamen 3 , X-men 142& X-men 129... good luck.....

ASM300, X129, Secret Wars 8, NM98 and ASM299 - Regarding price, wouldn't the ASM129 almost pay for the collection? Thanks for sharing. Thanks

You must have gotten the other half that had all of the keys off the one I just bought. About 3/4 of mine are at least NM though

Gary, you got tO go with all of the Symbiote books Spidey 252, 300, Secret wars 8. The 1st transformer and Wolverine 1. I think all solid books with potential to rise in value

That new mutants has to go in the lower grade one you can send to me 😂

Gary, if you're comfortable saying so, I'm interested to know how much enthusiasm you had for this collection when you decided to purchase it, vs. later, after you'd had a chance to examine everything more carefully.

You have to grade a 300 pretty much all the way down to 5.0. Outside of that, the SW8, the 252, the NM98 and the Bats 457. Thats also considered the first Killer Croc.

sweet comic collection i would love an ASM 129 . and yhea the condition of the books of the rak like come on that is not right . for me a book of the rack sould have an condition of 9.6 or 9.8. my 5 pic are batman 357 unk x-men 129 - - new mutans 98 - ASM252- secret wars 8 good luck man!!!

Looks like those books were pinned on the wall as you can see the pin holes on each comic.

Looks almost like they got rained on at an outdoor flea market since many are waved on the top

Hope you can clean and press a few of those keys and get them in a little higher grade!

I’m really digging those Mario Bro’s!!

Those waves on so many comics, isn't that moisture damage? I'd guess they were bag'n'boarded later, after the comics were sitting on a shelf in the basement a few years.

It's rare that someone buys multiple copies of certain books, everything is bagged and boarded, and yet even the duplicates are not in good shape. Of course on video and in bags they all look good.

Hey Gary, do you ever consider well centered early prints (deeper colors) when submitting. That would be important to me anyway. Also, any shop closure I've heard of was heavily cherry picked before the final dumping.

Thanks for the video, Gary. You were nice enough to give the guy a free comic when you under-paid maybe this guy will give you a free comic because you over-paid :). Hard to choose five but...Hulk 271, Secret Wars 8, ASM 299, Brave and the Bold 200 and Omega Men 3.

Nice pickup homie

The 90's X-Men #1 Wolverine and Gambit variant is the best one to have because of the 1st Omega Red Poster in the centerfold.

Bro, and I use that term very California style, don't whine about deciding to spend dirt prices on dirt copies of books LOL. You and I both know you got way more than your money's worth & salvaging efforts are noble! Now that they are in your care, they will only thrive more :-) ASM #298, 299, 300, Batman #357, and Omega Men #3 … With a shout out to that 9.0 New Mutants #98 :-) Happy new year in advance!

Hey Gary cool video. Curious what do you do with books like x force 1 or things that are not really hot books or books you personally enjoy? Do you just hold them or sell them off in lots? I have a bunch of books like that and want to know your take. Thanks!

At least there was an ASM #300 in there.

I believe I saw a Turok 1 in the box, I vote for that and 4 X-force 1s.... no brainer.

i like asm 252, secret wars 8, daredevil 168, batman 357, and hulk 271. good luck!
