@@magic3186 hey Chad, greetings from Ecuador! I watched the video and kinda felt like you when i went to the States a couple years ago. Only thing is that i had no comicbook friends there and i had to move around by myself looking for local comicbook shops.

Your channel is exactly what comic collecting should be about. And you hit it all in this one. Great books, meeting and making new friends, the generosity of comic collectors, comic sellers working to give good deals. Love it.

Never understood sellers like that truck. If they truly want to sell those, they need to make it easier for the buyer to look through them, i.e. at the very least, take them out of the truck and put them on a table. Great vid, as always. Thanks for sharing!

That Master Comic was beautiful, even with the loose pages. There’s a whole world of comics, not just Marvel

I once joked with the channel that I had then learned Massachusetts is the center of the comic book universe, but I am really beginning to believe it now. It also appears like he is not really tripping over anyone else when browsing and buying, and there is truely never ending content here.

One of the best comicbook channel by far.

I audibly gasped twice during this video, first when you found The Dark Crystal, and again when you found He-Man. 😮

What an absolutely bonkers story after the walk around lol. That's so awesome everyone had a great time and showed how awesome the community is

Ooooo nice stuff! Looks like a fun hunt. “I don’t have enough time” “I can’t go through it all” the last thought you have before you go through it all.

Fantastic book, congrats. You are having way too much fun, happy for all your success

Man that swap met must be like 2 cities long. Loved watching the show,

wow what a day! so many boxes in that truck great pickups I did notice that mystery in space 90 and that master comics is a sweet book not something you see often

Wow, you would have to drag me away from that flea market. Nice pickups and another great video.

Hey, don’t worry about the sticker on the Masters of Universe. You just have to apply lighter fluid (the ones they use to fill up their cigarette lighters) on it, let it soak for a while first then you try to lift it off the cover with a pen knife. Reapply as and when it dries, be generous with the fluid and be patient during the lifting, don’t rush through it as it may tear into the cover. Once the sticker has been removed, if there are any glue remnants, you may to reapply the fluid & gently wipe it off with a tissue paper or cloth. 😅

that’s some massive flea market! I used to go to Englishtown all the time and I hardly ever saw any comics

I was in elementary school when the first Dark Crystal came out in the 80s would love to get a couple of those comics

Love meeting folks on the hunt and trading info .got a big network of folks to buy and trade with all over . Like seeing the same vendors every year at the cons.

You & I were cut from the same cloth!! I rarely will pay full retail for vintage comics unless I have faith it will appreciate fast! The fun is finding bargains especially if it's on your want list!!

When I was a little kid my brother and I found a big cardboard box of green hornet rings that would go into a gumball type machine,my older brother said they were valuable back then and that was in the 60s

Love to see the comics but thanks for showing the old radios.

I know the big xmen keys but because of watching you and hearing about your favorite stories and characters, I want our hunting during MDW and found the 1st Bishop for only $4! Thank you for the knowledge

What a wonderful day! You can tell how much fun you had in the video. It’s a shame that Master Comics wasn’t in better shape. I so wanted you to get it.

Great video Mike! Thank you.

Wow! So many comics to dig through. Cool spot! The Dark Crystal is a neat book. The movie was pretty freaky as a kid.. Still is.

Awesome haul and some really cool books in those boxes. I'm a big xmen man to love those books.

That was definitely one of the biggest flea markets I have seen with that much of a variety in comic books. It was fun watching you go through those boxes and seeing the great books you were able to pick up

Wow man really wholesome video i watched it with a big smile on my face all the time, my wife kept looking me funny 😂. Wanted to tell you that like Chad, I’m not from the States, i am from Ecuador. Wish i could have someone over there to show me around every time i go there for vacations.

Good evening Michael The big yellow truck that could!. Greetings from the other side off the world. Boy did this episode zing! It deserves to be a mini series. What a wonderful event. And great that you met up with Chad. And what a man Chad is, If I could I would have done the same thing. I would have had to go through every box You got yourself some great comics, I was drawn to The Masters of the universe, I know you were bummed about the price sticker, But just imagine the kid who brought this comic at the Kmart, probably couldn't wait to get home to read it. No doubt it would be read again and again. Now you get to read it. I sell a lot of New/Old Stock and I think what a shame nobody has read and enjoyed this comic. Look forward to the next Adventures of Lunch Money Comics. I hope your got a nice haul of choice Antique's as well. It would be great if you and Alex could link up for a broadcast or too, that would be great fun. Cheers Al The Goldkeyfourcolorkidownunda

Great gets Mike! I'm a fan of Agents of Sheild as well. Hoping for some cameos in Secret Invasion. Would be the perfect setting for it.

What an awesome story ! Sounds like a great new friend !

I find old books a lot in flea markets but they are usually so low grade that they dont appear on CGC census and therefore hard to guage their value. Regardless, the kind of thing I see at these sales is often 3.0 books listed at a 6.0 price.

So under rated channel.

Such an overload. Wheew

Really enjoyed this one. We’re going to be heading up to our states big flea market here in a few weeks and this got me really excited for it. Tons of great pick ups, the Uncanny issues with Longshot on the cover are some of my favorites. 🔥

You got some really great books. Great show. I saw some comics you flipped past I'd have totally gotten like Marines in Battle and some of the Gold Key Classic comics.

I would have been hard pressed not to buy those late Golden Age Atlas war books if the price was fair. Shame about Master Comics; Mac Raboy is a phenomenal artist, his style would be right at home on the cover of a modern comic - he was certainly ahead of his time as a comics illustrator. JL Dark is a very entertaining read and I even prefer this team to JLA. The book has had a string of great writers in its history. Mike, Chad has not stopped talking about meeting you and the flea market and how nice everyone he met was. Yep, Chad is a really nice guy (or "top bloke" as we say here in Australia).

I am also in the process of collecting the Justice League Dark characters and I want to recommend a book to you!! Swamp Thing is my favorite and I finally got a copy of House of Secrets #92 at this year's SC Comicon!! After all these years of collecting, it was my first graded comic, so I decided to get more to go along with! When it came to Zatanna, I was stuck. Her first appearance is in Hawkman #4 and she is not on the cover. I'm not a huge fan of Hawkman either and I just don't think it's a great book that represents her in my JL Dark collection. It would be cool to have but it's not the Droid I was looking for, instead I went with a book called DC Super-Stars of Magic #11 😎 It's the first time she had a solo cover, totally awesome and you need this book!! haha It's not a book I see for sale or mentioned very often and I wanted to throw it out there to you just in case!! 🤘🐀
