I may have to stop following you. My wife is going to kill me. I've got 4 statues on pre-order, 3 omnibus shipping soon and now searching for slabs. Did I mention we are settling on a house soon? 😆 🤣 😂

HAHA same here Javier. I went crazy with Omnibuses after I started following Gem. Statues are a whole other story lol. Stay strong brother the struggle is real lol.

Loving the chrome covers from the 90’s I’m collecting those right now too! Raw copies though 😎😂

Thanks for posting a slab video Gem. I only got onto slabs in the last year or so and have really grown to love them. I would love to see more videos, but I understand that would mean collecting them again lol. I think if you did haul videos like this every once in a while would be awesome.

Love to see someone else with appreciation for 90s books!

100% agree with your "buy what you like" approach- nice haul!

Chromium is dope, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Hey gem, love the content

Love this lot of pick ups. The spiderman200 is one of my fav covers of all time. Love it

Every video makes me want to buy ! Your collections are beautiful ! Thk you for sharing !!

Yesss gem. Do more slab unboxings plz!

I WANT ALL OF THESE!!! AWESOME HAUL!

Nice to see a comic haul from you Gem 💎.

Hey Gem - that was fun to watch .. thanks for the post!

That specific spawn is one of my favourites. Good job gem continue like that

Love the look of those slabs!...one day...one day...stay safe y'all

Some cool covers, glad you like them! The Spidey and Goblin was my favorite

Dope vid, Gem. These slabs must make you happy because You had a big smile on your face the whole time, so for sure do more vids like this.

Awesome haul! Those books were my childhood, especially Alpha. I think I still have all my copies of these books in some longboxes somewhere.

It's good to see you back to your roots

Nice haul!!! It’s mainly because of you I am back into collecting comics.

Haven’t seen a CGC haul from you in a while. Glad they’re back!

Foils and hologram covers!!! Feeling like I just traveled back to the 90s 😂 Glad to see you back on the slabs!!!

I started collecting Marvel and DC comics way back in the early seventies but I can't see myself ever buying a comic encased in plastic, I like my comics to be read, handled and loved for what they are. The whole concept of collecting comics encased in plastic leaves me cold and as for sending comics to CGC for them to grade leaves me frozen to the marrow. My comics are part of my journey, I don't need a company telling me what Its rating is for a comic I bought when I was a kid, I don't collect for investment purposes I collect for enjoyment. Sure, the condition of my 'key issues' would probably be sneered at by you younger collectors but the smell and slightly dog eared condition of old and cherished comics is quite magical and evocative of halcyon days!

I used to feel the same exact way. I never was interested in owning slabs because i couldnt read them. While i love holding a comic and turning the pages i always felt reading trades was the better option because you dont have to bag board and worry about bending a delicate monthly floppy comic. I hated the long wait for a trade to come out so i collected monthly in all titles except daredevil. I got out of reading/collecting comics for financial reasons and went 6-7 years out of the game. When i came back i been finding it hard to find all modern issues in near mint condition because i take care of my comics not for value/speculation but because i wanted them in nice condition. I eventually started buying slabs because most ebay sellers use photos from their cellphone so phone quality is trash and i cant tell if the issues are near mint or lower grade full of spine ticks so a slab grade means i know exactly what grade im purchasing and theres a low risk of damage in shipping. Now you may think how do i read my issues of my slabs? Due to my preference of reading trades i decided that i would buy digital copies of the trades and almost have everything i own in physical in digital form. Ive just found its so much more comfortable reading from a large screen tablet. Marvel, dc, comicxology, and amazon have daily sales on digital trades so i can pick up a 40$ trade for $8 or less justifying buying issues twice or in new marvel issues reddem a digital copy for free. I dont worry about value on my slabs either. I tried purchasing all of them for fair market value and am not as worried about their values now. All of the slabs i bought are of series i collect normally and issues i wanted for me and not investment purposes. I still understand slabs arent for everyone

Great batch of stuff!!

It's good to see slabs back on the channel.

love the cgc grab, lots of great keys

Awesome slabs Gem, I really like unboxings, and omnibus videos. 😊

Ha, never thought to see you with Slabs again Gem! 💎 Glad you are back at it again.

Nice little haul. I never think to look on the forums

Oh man love those shiny X-Men covers

Awesome! Love your vids

Nice Books ! Some great covers

I'm a shiney cover guy myself! Keep up the good work!

Spiderman #200 is a keeper. Very nice with Sal Buscema artwork.

That's an awesome haul with some great issues! Gonna have to go search for some slabs now.

Loved this video. It’s cool seeing a collector get slabs not just because they’re worth something but because they’re sentimental. That’s the kind of slabs I want

Lots of comicsss NICEEEE !!!!

This video is such a coincidence for me. I slowed down on getting collected editions and recently started picking up key issues to go with a statue line. Most of them are raw books that I will have pressed and cleaned privately then I’ll send them off. Gonna make a custom display for them as well

Early 90's is my era. I'm bout it!

awesome haul sick Comics

Wow.. great 9.8s!

I am jealous of all of the things you pick up! I need to step up my game in my 2nd year of collecting!!!!

I love the chrome !

G-Man WE NEED MORE COMIC BOOK VIDEOS.

I have always enjoyed the Turner covers slabs

Great video. I really enjoyed the content.

Nice little haul.

Those are some really cool books 👍

All for the incoming CGC 9.8 Spawn Collection!

Yeah...ebay charging tax now is f---ing up my game. Lol.

Thats awesome! Im trying to complete my single issues Spawn +300 collection. Back in my country we got the books from a mexican editorial and was hard to get all the issues. Little by little ive been finding the older issues online

Can't go wrong with spawn 1. Not a bad price for a 9.8. Great video

Man loved the CGC haul, I need to grab me some inexpensive foil covers at 9.8, those were always my favorite books!!!🤙🏽🐼🤙🏽

That background music is OG for this channel but great lookin books

You got some nostalgia train going on. Like the slabs. I too want to grab some non key issues just for display.

Spiderman 2099 looks so damn good with the foil cover... most badass suit in comics

Awesome haul

Dope hual! I've been able to find some cool foil valiant issues at my local BMV - they're so cool :D

You can't beat that first appearance of Angela cover phenomenal. It's funny that you mentioned spawn because I'm looking to collect some early issues of the series myself He just can't turn down that McFarlane cover art.

Some sweet books ya got there.👍👍✌

Bring it on - I like to see what you think , I started looking at slab because of your channel. Now I send them books in too be slabbed.

Sorry for all the comments. Been smokin. Anyway, that video was dope! I know you were saying you used to collect CGCs and fell off. Im just getting into it and and its all im looking at now on my phone! I got about 30(300?) issues i want on deck that I can't wait to try and get. At one point for sure there's gonna be a 90s run like this in my collection. I HAVE to get Lethal Protector 1 its the cover that got me into comics for real the first time! Awesome picks! Lookin forward to future videos!

Sweet hunting Gem!

Nice! I have all those raw except Spawn #1. Most of them are newsstand version.

Killin it with the foil and chromium covers!

I myself have begun to put all comics in CGC cases.

BTW, I like it when you mention how much you paid for something, especially the deals!

Yes,i saw someone on Facebook selling a Spawn Issue 1 CGC 9.8 for a low price worth it or not. Nice CGC chooses

I would love to see more of these and more of what's in the box because i love seeing the stuff that i can not buy

Nice collection. I have a raw copy of Spider-Man 2099 #1 comic and bought it with two other comics which came as a bundle in a $1.00 dollar bin. I saw the armored Spider-Man comic art cover and thought to myself that it's an ugly art cover which i did eventually passed on buying it which i'm happy did. The Spawn #1 for the price you paid was a steal i would have thought it was around the two or three hundred dollar or higher range because of the first issue of Spawn in '92? The first appearance of Angela #9 is a good pick as well. If i collected some CGC or CBCS Spawn issues it would be because of the first Spawn film in '97 of the characters who first appeared in the movie such as: Spawn, Angela, Jason Wynn, Al Simmons and his family, Terry Fitzgerald, Clown, Violater, Spaz the dog, Cogliostro and Malbogia. Each issue with each of the characters appeared in the Spawn comic that's what I'd would do. Same with the Spawn animated series characters such as: Tony Twist, Sam and Twitch, Chapel, Over-T kill and Billy Kincaid. Cool review.

I used to have some gold covers for the age of apocalypse story. Loved anything shiny back in the 90s 🤣

I love the 90’s foil covers and I have slowly collected cool 90’s covers myself 💎. Great video Gem keep up the great content 💎.

I'm a sucker for foils and Chromiums myself. Sick haul dude!

Those Spawn books are a must have in any comic collection. Nothing wrong with a lot of 90's foil covers too!

I have that Omega book. never thought to slab it but that looks sick

Wow, X-Men Prime cool!

those would all be books I would want slabbed, also a sucker for the foil and x-men

Wish I could unpack as fast as you hehehe 😎

Spawn 1 is always a must have for any slab collection good thing its still cheap

love that spider-man 200 and spawn 1

Lurker Alert! 😏 Like that your doing CGC of nice covers not just the normal high demand stuff! Dope collection Gem, cool that you found a theme and ran with it. PS, eBay been banging my margins in PA for a couple years now.

Get that spawn run. Would love to see it

The Spawn comics actually looke cool in 90's foil covers. Just an opinion😁

Nice haul always like foils they need to bring that back. Holographic ones as well in a classic way every once in a while.

I see you Gem! Thanks for the shoutout! Do the Spawn run brother

I was just looking for that web of spiderman 100 the other day lol nice

Cgc Haul was dope. Definitey #mintyfresh I like watching these videos because q very informative. Thanks gem!

those all look hella good

5:43 DANG SPAWN THAT IS MINTY

I got that Spawn #1 9.8 signed by Todd for about 125 a while back now I see it's going for 300 plus.

I literally just got alpha, omega, and prime 9.8s a few weeks ago. We might have been bidding against each other.

Awesome books

Bought my first CGC book like a week ago Venom #1 (2018) Gold Label 9.8

I knew that last one was gonna be Spawn #9 when you said another early spawn issue lol

I’m currently doing a run of spawn and it’s addictive. Getting multiple non-graded copies as well

The foil covers go harder with the slab then the regular covers

Wicked haul bud

I don't really know what CGC's are but they look really good.
