Gary Dolgoff is a GREAT dealer and runs some awesome specials due to his high volume approach in selling!! I'm glad you showed his operation since I've only done mail order business with them! --Thanx!

And Gene Colan was absolutely brilliant on DD..Fantastic action scenes of DD and Black Widow together.

You hit my sweet spot today. DD is and has been since the 70s, my favorite Marvel guy! I went to an early comic convention in the late 70's and purchased a very nice copy of DD #1. When I got home I was told "never" to spend $30 on one comic book again!! I joined the military a few years later and like many other's stories... those comics disappeared! Starting from scratch again trying to build up the DD collection. I be happy to own a copy of the DD#2 you grabbed in the condition you found. A loved comic is what you bought!

Daredevil #2 - Nice 👌🏻 As the saying goes “ Low grade is better than no grade!”

When I started buying comics in the early 70s, Gary Dolgoff was the first ad I ever saw selling back issues. I believe at that time he was located in Queens or Brooklyn. Open any 20 cent DC or Marvel issue and you're bound to see one of his advertisements.

Dude so many great finds… And that 8.5 is such a great price congratulations

Definitely the first appearance of Electra congratulations

Wow that micro machines room. Takes me back to playin with them in the dirt. Oh boy the way they drew black widow in those early dds was delicious. Speaking of Ant Man go to Very Garys new video for some hidden gems. You won't guess it...go now.🤭

One of the things I really like about your videos Mike is that you go to the effort of creating a sense of the places you visit: you don't just charge straight for the comics, you include sweeping shots of other displays. I liked seeing the toys, all those DVDs for $1 each, so many Hot Wheels cars, the records (the youngsters will wonder how they could ever fit into a USB port) and all the other great stuff. Marvel Premiere #47: I've always liked Bob Layton's art, whether as an inker or a penciller; his Iron Man and Hercules work is lovely. Claremont wrote some very good stories in the obscure Marvel mid-1970s title War Is Hell, definitely worth tracking down and very cheap, as many war books still are. Well done on the Daredevils. I would definitely pay about $200 for #2 in that condition and this is my choice for best comic in the video. #168 is the only one I need in Miller's run (naturally, the most expensive issue of his run); a CGC 8.5 for $175, how could anyone say no? Another great video, thanks for taking us along for ride.

I'm happy you appreciate the location footage. When I'm hunting for treasures, comics or otherwise, I love the sense of exploration which is why I include so much more scenery than just the comics. That's especially true of the huge flea markets because they are just a giant outdoor cabinet of curiosities, and seeing the eclectic mix of items from all eras and parts of the world is where my real passion lies. Thanks for the comment!

Daredevil with Electra would love find that comic. I was out today shopping for comics found a Superman comic that sells on eBay for about $40 and I payed just $2 that was a big find. Plus many other great ones from a Phoniex comic, Few Batman and a complete set of Phoenix Echo for only $10 so I found some goodies and very happy! Keep the videos comeing and Have a Great evening!❤️🇺🇲

Awesome pick-ups, so jealous of those early Daredevils! Heck yeah, I'd pick that #2 up at that price!

I've bought some slabs from Gary Dolgoff comics. Excellent Ebay seller. That Daredevil slab was a steal! Great pick ups!

Very nice pick up on the Daredevil 2 and first appearance of Electra.

Fantastic pick ups! And I love that you changed the display behind you to all DD! Daredevil #8 is one of 4 wallbooks I have framed.

I did not know that Daredevil #102, a book I have was Claremont's first comic book work. Thanks for the information. I quickly added this to my comic book database. The Daredevil # 2 is a cool book. Good purchase. You killed it on that Daredevil slab. It was meant for you..

Great pick up on the Electra book I also like the Ant-man one, but the way you handled the pick up and the use of your extra points really makes it the winner

You have some great pics there I like the artwork from the 60s it stands out and has vibrant color it reminds me of Spider-Man from 1967 that used to come on TV

DD 168 is absolutely my favorite. I used to buy a lot in that grade 8.5-9.2 and cracked and pressed them! Got 2 9.8’s and number of 9.6’s and 9.4s I have one 9.8 and a 9.6 left. Been buying a bunch of that Miller run lately.

I really like the Marvel Premier. Cool cover. Excellent deal, happy hunting.

Can never argue with yellow-costume DD.

I love 8.5 graded books. They're usually much cheaper and they present as well as a super-expensive higher grade. It's usually my target grade for under-the-radar or cool cover silver.

Nice! Glad you made it out to Raynham and you'll defintely want to go back in the summer.

Nice Daredevil pickups. I've bought from Gary Dolgoff in the past and was always impressed.

Good pick up on DD 2! A classic early DD.

Loved DD's red & yellow costume. I thought it really popped. Also Matt Murdock is blind and hey he's a lawyer. Not some guy that knows how to sew a complete costume. Much less he's blind too. My first real job when I was almost 11 years old. Was working in one of Milwaukee, WI's very first comic book stores. Named ironically, The Good Old Days. I was a gofer, the janitor/cleaning crew. I also filed old comics, and later learned all about grading comics and even repairing them. I used to work for like 3/4 comics and between $10-$20 cash for like two or three days/evenings. I mainly collected the ASM. But also two titles in the early throgh mid 70's no one was collecting YET. Back issues of DD & the X-Men. When the new X-Men took off and Miller took over on DD. I made a killing selling those back issues and traded for ASM's FF's, Ironman and Capt.A's too. I figured I'd just mention this. I'm sure your well aware of this already. But you might be able to get that DD #2's cover repaired. Or you could get a copy missing pages but with a much better cover intact. You could then either repair it yourself. Or pay someone to replace the cover for you. I've done it years ago. As well as replaced interior pages. Which had ads cut out or the MVS cut out. I repaired a lot of Hulk #180's, #181's and even some ASM's missing MVS. Buy buying coverless collections in the store. Then if I came across a nicer copy missing a pg or it had a ripped pg. I'd use my coverless copies to repair it. Either for the store, a regular customer or for myself. I'd make between $25-$50 a crack for like ten minutes work.

My run of DD is #16 to #320 and I recall buying #168 off the news stand for 15 pence (50 cents to you guys). Around that Miller run I bought a very low grade DD#1 for £45. I hear your excitement for acquiring DD #2. Good stuff.

Oh man, Raynham Flea Market is my local flea market (about a 20 minute drive), but I haven't been in years. I don't think Sensational Comics was there last time I went. I'll have to head back over one of these days.

Here’s some trivia about Daredevil 42. It has ONE panel drawn by Steranko. It just so happens to be a drawing of a car I used to own, a 1967 Thunderbird. Check it out.

I would pay that for the DD#2 in that shape, looks nice despite the defects. Had DD #1-10 CGC , #1 signed by Stan, but sold them to fund my grail FF#1. Still have DD raw #1-13 , which I prefer tbf. Elecktra is a great book at a great price

I've been wanting to check out the Raynham Flea Market sometime. Maybe this Summer I'll make the trip out there.

absolutely!! for 200 bucks for Daredevil #2 I would have, despite its issues it presenta really well, colors are awesome and two second appearances of major characters

Since Christmas I've been trying to land DD 168 at the right price on Ebay only to be bid up past my price point. I'm glad you picked it up. One less person to outbid. Enjoyed the video.

Great video Mike, awesome pick ups on the DD, can’t wait for the next one. Rick 😎✌️

Great looking flea market. I would have spent all day in there just looking at everything not just the comics. All of the comics are good finds but I'm leaning towards the Scott Lang Ant-Man.

Congratulations on the daredevil number two . I really enjoy your videos keep it up. Thanks

Great deal on the first Elektra!

Killing it on those pickups. Nice shirt!

Thanks Mike. Another great video. Loved DD#2. Also loved your shirt. Take care.

Holy cow, excellent pick-ups Mike! Loved the DDs. And I *always* love anything you show/get on the X-Men. Well done! 😀

Oooooo it's luchmoney in da house!🏠

Great Daredevil pickups. Im considering collecting the Frank Miller run once I finish collecting John Byrne's FF run.

Love the DD catches! Well done---

Good for you! X-Men is highly worth the communication. People get wrapped up in key comics only. They forget how great that 80s to 90s run is in even the regular run issues. WOW...that Elektra get is huge!!!!! Amazing deal!!! Super jealous that is a grail of mine. Congrats man!!

Your grail pile is starting to stack up. My enthusiasm for Daredevil did not happen until Miller came around. Loved that whole run!

Cool! I just picked up a raw (9.4 ish) DD 168 for $200 a few months ago. That book is hard to find in a presentable mid grade, IMO. For me, I either find it totally beat up, or super high grade. It's really weird. The whole run of DD is under-appreciated. One of my favorite stories is DD 7 when he fights Namor. DD's totally outclassed, but manages to hold his own. Really fun read.

Hi, reference Daredevil, 13/2/23, possibly you need to look into Wallace Woods contribution to the character. This was also whilst Jack Kirby was drawing. I’m sure Wood was instrumental in the look of Daredevil as we know him today. Marvel Comics were very lucky to have him albeit for a very short time. He was one of the greatest, most influential comic books artists of all time. Love your channel. Clive from England

The DD for sure. The prices for them were really good. As for the X Men and peoples comments... pay them no heed. You do you. That's the point of collecting. However, it is a really hard goal to reach and it will soon be nigh impossible after 2025 (due to the contract issues), when Marvel gets their hands on the X Men. So, these next couple years will be pretty much the time to show them! As for myself.... still love Excalibur. Have them all (original run) spent under $100 -150 for the entire collection. Have a couple of the extra special editions but I wanted to read the books, and I have to say that the majority of them are really nice books. Still trying to figure out which ones to showcase on the wall...

Dude, I Live In MA! I Love Going There!

Can't go wrong with Daredevil. There's a reason why he's coming back to the MCU. The stories are endless and so so good!

Love this place

Yes the best deal in my opinion would be DD 168(I still need!) DD 2 is a great pick up too. I feel ya on the whole "buy 2 thru whatever" then you realize to complete your run,you need to get the dreaded high priced #1

so jealous that you can find DD just like that!!!!! can't find that up here in toronto 😭been trying to fill in my DD Vol 1 run, slowly but surely

Yeah DD #2 even though that tear still I would have done that deal

It's been my experience that an 8.5 can often look pretty close to an 9.8 especially if the issue is not spine ticks, and then cost about 5% of the 9.8 grade. Extremely good value for a beautiful book.

Stick to this format its beautiful 🎉

Excellent pickups! That is a good price for DD #2 and it does look pretty solid. I think I see #1 more than I see issues #2 or #3. Also a great price on the Marvel Premiere, especially when it's considered "hot" at the moment. The two "regular" issues of DD are easily the best reads and you should really enjoy those. As for #168, you got it at a great price as well, it's just hard for me to rationalize the prices on some of these books I bought off the stands. Makes me feel old!

Nice books

Love the whole haul. I will say I tend to like my covers intact at least. But that Daredevil 2 is sweet. 168 is a grail of mine I hope to pick sometime this year. That 8.5 was a steal good job.

nice ,got me a Ghost Rider 1 in rough shape but its all there for $50

heck yeah I would have spent that much four them great deal
