Dude, your conscience is clear. The sellers could easily set a 5 book duplicate limit per customer. Kudos to them for bringing those books light to keep the comic community excited!! Good job man. Collect on!

Absolutely the BEST comic sale i’ve seen anyone show us. Ever. Not even my wildest happy comic dream has been that good. Great show!

i appreciate your outlook on the community, cause i have experienced the bad side of comic collecting/scalping! i unfortunately dont have alot of money to pay up for good books, so i hate it when i see people buying them, and then reselling for way over what the book is worth! i collect for me, not to resell, and some resellers ruin the hobby!

I understand it’s a taboo subject for many people but this is how we can afford some comics we normally couldn’t: Get a good deal on a comic and trade/sell it for closer to retail (at a profit) to work toward owning bigger books. Most of us do it to improve our collections. We all do this to some extent. Some people lie, deceive, or take advantage of others to get ahead. Others grind to find great deals to pass along to someone else who is happy to pay a little more than we did. I’ve been on all sides, bought and sold at a loss and profit. Some of us have the means to pay for comics and never sell while some of us have to buy and sell to stretch our money to afford the keys we otherwise couldn’t. Love it or hate it, that’s the way the hobby is evolving.

Funding the hobby to fund the hobby. We all do it. What would be the point of selling at a loss all the time? If you’re going to sit there and legitimately think you would pass on any of these books, you’re lying through your phone screen.

​@@dansxmencomicsNAILED it. I grew up in Baltimore,got my books at GEPPIS COMIC WORLD when Steve still ran the shop in Harborplace. Got to know him pretty well over the years. While I was afforded the occasional hint of what's to come or saw things before some folks,no real advantage till later in life. Been to Atlanta to the Diamond spring cleaning a cpl times... .25¢ a comic. Every. Comic. I was getting signed INFINITY GAUNTLET #1s for a quarter. Gaiman was there signing my .25¢ SANDMAN books we were given Platinum MILESTONE #1s. I could have made a KILLING!!! But sold 2 I.G. with the gold Perez sigs...for 12 bucks each. The rest were given away. Same with Sandman issues. Had free drawings for all ..ALL .the platinum Milestone books. I got to keep my copies. The 48 total dollars bought bags and boards. Felt greasy to try to bilk the people,my FRIENDS, that I traded and bought with out of next weeks comic money. Integrity in the hobby must be maintained!!!!

I had tears in my eyes Mike....that's the sale I've needed to find for the last 2 years. (In a very unique situation) LIFE changing sale. Really cool you were there though,I honestly can't think of anyone who deserves the awesomeness more!

Seeing all the 90’s comics in bulk doesn’t surprise me at all! I really love your channel for your genuine love and passion for the hobby. I have collected off and on for several years. One of the reasons I quit collecting for almost a decade was because every book during the 90’s was expected to have tremendous value in the long run. Then the speculator market crashed. The potential value of the books I bought were my motivation then and I lost interest in the hobby. I sold most of my collection and kept only 8 books that I loved. Then the Daredevil movie came out and reignited my passion for collecting again. I’ve been a consistent collector since 2003 and have no plans of stopping. Several KZread channels were really helpful to learn how the hobby had changed, your channel has always been fun to watch. I’ve gotten tired of the speculation on movies and TV and collectors focus only on key issues at a 9.8. That was never the focus of my collecting, I actually reading the stories and following the journey of the characters as different creative groups attempted to put their twist on a classic character. Books that I collected more than a couple of decades ago are now the hot books that collectors are dying together their hands on. I guess to some clearly I’m naive by actually buying books that I love. I love the characters and that’s what keeps people collecting and reading. I’ve also had a lot of fun collecting facsimiles of books that I could never afford, I don’t mind being in the minority of collectors. When you drop $75-$100 every 2 weeks on books you give more thought to how you spend your money. At 50 years old, I think I’m a bigger geek for comics than when I was younger. 😂😂 Never quit being a positive person about your passion for collecting comics. If I lived where you lived I would have gone into debt buying what books I could myself. 😂😂😂

Love it! Wish I still lived in New England where the scene is thriving. Here is the SF Bay Area the hunt is much harder with far fewer honey holes. Gary Dolgoff comics is a terrific company and I have enjoyed buying many many books from them over the years. Cheers and keep listening to your angel!😇

Your channel is such a breath of fresh air. I been watching different comic book channels hunting type videos for a while now. Its always upset me to see them grab everything they see for reselling purposes. People like those guys ruined the hobby and the thrill of the hunt for me. Its good to see that you grab your share and left some for others to find. keep up the good work!

That was a great turn out Gary had for this show. He has so many books I doubt it made a dent in his warehouse. But what he parted with flew off the shelf at those prices. Thanks for asking me to tag along. I hope he does this again in the future! Fantastic day is an understatement!

The theme from Jaws should play whenever a reseller comes to a comic book convention

That looked like a great show, Mike! I can only imagine the ooh's and aah's emanating from the show floor every time a key was pulled out. I understand your concern, but you did the right thing in posting it. After all, this is about the love of the hobby. We can't control what others do, so there's no point in worrying about it. Enjoy the hobby and the connections made. Thanks for sharing!

There were so many 90s comics that were printed it just boggles my mind

Stop beating yourself up Mike. I think you showed remarkable restraint. I remember as a kid seeing Gary Dolgoff's ads in Both Marvel and DC comics. Thinking how amazing it would be to order comics in the post! I lived in the uk so it was not an option. No hyperbole, those prices were stunning, a little above cover price! Great to see father and son sharing a love of the same hobby. Keep the vids coming mate, in these dark times they are the highlight of my week. Hope you and your family keep well. Best wishes from the UK.

Haha amazing, thanks for stopping by my friends’ show, we had so much fun!

Hey Mike, thanks for the video. My favorite part was seeing you build happy memories with your son. Regarding the other bits, you and I can’t control how Mr. Dolgoff wants to sell his comics (i.e., put on a fabulous warehouse sale) or how buyers (resellers or not) are going to respond. Honestly, if selling comics were my way of feeding my family and that kind of opportunity came along, I would max out my purchase power as well. It’s really up to Mr. Dolgoff. He could easily limit purchases to maintain a certain flavor to his events. Thanks for sharing the content!

That daredevil 196 was hilarious. Wolverine using mace as antiperspirant

that is an absolutely bonkers haul!! a huge congrats to you Mike. If you run out of storage space and feel like you just can't store all those X-factor 5's, I can help you out and hold on to one of them for you. I'm working on finishing my run of the original series. but seriously.. that show was nuts!! I'm bummed I don't live close enough to check that show out

Such a fun video! Was exciting to see what you got and found. I would have been frantic in that place. I would have also had so much anxiety like I was going to miss something.

I would have ended up with several long boxes worth of comics! I LOVE 90'S COMICS! It's what I grew up on! Sooo nostalgic!

Congrats on the Larfleeze book! I know you’ve been looking for that one for a while based on a video from a while back. A few months ago I went to a 50% $1 and 25 cent bin sale and it was the same way. People would tell the people at the boxes beside them what they were looking for and we’d point out when we found them - AND if someone beside you noticed a good book in the box you were going through they would point it out so you wouldn’t miss it. So I think more times than not in this hobby people will help each other and make sure everyone wins. Cheers!

I really wish somebody would set something like this up where I live. So many awesome books. I don't know that I could have limited myself where those Wolverine books are concerned. Great video, Mike! And don't feel guilty or bad. Comics are for everyone, not just flippers

😱 This is Insanity 😱 Bro That Deadpool n Wolves Kubert, I have always loved & wanted that book. Gratz Man on an Incredible Show w/ Amazing Finds. -Cheers 🍻

Great video! It was fun just watching those books come to light, I couldn't imagine actually being there and finding some of those. I was happy to see all of those books being shared among the people at the show. I think you did a good thing for sharing this with us, and I hope to some day make it to one of those shows. Keep up with the awesome videos!

You're a good dude Mike. You can't control what others do, and word will get out regardless. I'm glad you stand by your morals. I remember a few years ago some sellers speaking in code around me when discussing where they purchased a comic book collection.. it felt slimy. I'm just here for some comic books and to have fun!

Whoa that's the sickest comic haul I've ever seen for the price, wow, the first deadwood wolverine comics for 3 dollars you could sell them for 80 100 dollars each.

This is a great video to show people these types of sales do happen and the hunt is what makes this hobby fun, at least for me. With that said, a sale like this can also hurt the hobby because it will flood the market with keys. Kind of a double edged sword.

I loved the video Mike. You did a nice job explaining why you hesitated making the video. The fun atmosphere you described, it would be great to see that preserved. Thank you for sharing your experience. It was fun seeing that type of comic experience in the wild. Those were fantastic finds.

This is actually insane. Most of these books will go upwards of $20-$25 dollars each. With that Deadpool Wolverine going for no less than $90 an issue. And to see so many of 1 particular issue that most comic shops might just have 1 or two for sale in their store is surreal.

Thanks for putting this out Mike! I fondly remember ordering from Gary Dolgoff many years ago from the Comics Buyers Guide and I'm happy to see him open up his warehouse to the public. I think if he puts a limit of 5 per book, that would prevent the greedy ones from clearing out an issue of a more expensive book. Collectors protecting their honey holes is not good for the hobby at the end of the day. There are eleventy billion comic books out there, more than enough to share! ;-)

You're a good man Mike .I started watching you when you helped out a local with his comics. Keep doing what you're doing. I enjoy your collection and thanks for sharing.👍

Unreal! Thanks for sharing the experience!

Can only dream of finding the wolverine deadpool cover! Never been able to own it. Not to mention the silver mcfarlane spider-man #1. Subscribed! Great video

Seeing all them 90s and older comics makes me realise there still out there,hundreds and thousands of them. Just people buy them in bulk and sit on em till price is right. Nice comics Mike.

Such a great honey hole. You won the internet today!! I only saw two I needed though the marvel comics presents and Wolverine 88 (had to sell mine to cover roof replacement). I’m glad you made the video. Reminded me of mile high. Great video!!!!

Mike great stuff and you are an awesome ambassador for our hobby. Please keep the positive messages out there. So many youtubers are grade queens "oh it wasn't a 9.6 I put it back" I love coming to your channel first because of the pure love you have for the hobby.

Man You dd not have to let us in on this. But you were honest! I'm pretty sure these honey holes are all over the place. There will always be deals out there. But yeah this one was pretty good!!

What an awesome event!!!! Thanks for sharing, Mike! Awesome pickups too!

Thank you for actually replying to my Instagram message! Your content rocks and I'm always stoked to watch a new episode!

hey man - finders keepers. It's all about the hunt. Gary did a similar sale here at the London super con about 12 years ago. It was the same - but with Bronze Age marvel. It was incredible.

Was there a little later, so bummed I didn't get a chance to meet you! Maybe the next one! You are definitely one of the good guys out there! Keep up the great work!

Firstly, I think it's awesome that you shared Gary's warehouse. He's an awesome guy who loves taking care of the community. Secondly, are people going to try and capitalize, of course. It's sad that vendors will buy their stock just to inflate the prices. I just won't support those vendors. You did the right thing. You were partly an inspiration to me for giving away books for free every Tuesday. They're nothing crazy, $20ish books but it's the fun of giving back and enjoying with others. So again, you did the right thing and you're only spreading positivity. Keep up the good work.

I think you are in the right on this one Mike. Based on the video, it seems like Gary's intent was to open the comic coffers and let collectors have fun. You and your son clearly did! No harm, no foul. :)

I like the way you talk at the show and comment to yourself a couple of times, "I'm getting a few copies of this one....for some reason". And there is an answer.

So that’s where you got all of those Spider-Man 2099’s from😂. That was absolutely absurd every book you were finding. Great buy!

Keep listening to that angel, Mike and being the best there is at what you do. Love that shirt.

Thank you for being honest that’s why I loved your show. I would be happy just with one of each. Specially X-Men four and five. I enjoy my collections not trying to make money. The only time that I sell is to send books to CGC for me. Muchas Gracias.

i wish there were more comic book shows closer to where i live 😭

This might be the best comic haul I’ve seen. And I’ve been watching people pick up collections on KZread for years lol

Thanks for sharing. i work on the computer and watch your videos. It makes me feel good seeing everyone so happy getting great books

Amazing haul! Oh, the runs that I could complete at $3 a book! Good stuff! I remember grabbing that 2099 when I was a kid too. The Ultimate Carnage Cross Over was the first Cross over I actively checked my LCS for. I would have grabbed a few of those Wolverine/Deadpools as well but generally don't like to hoard/take more than I need. No doubt it would be hard to resist at that show geez

Mike, I honestly think you did the right thing. The people that try to hold onto secrets are killing this hobby. They try to "up" their prices and say they are giving a good price for a "hard to find" book. When they know they are not. Then they try to say graded copies are worth 5-10 times more than they are. Making an even deeper cut. Look, I get it. Try to get rich off of other people is a long-time human tradition. However this is comic books not a cure all potion. (Yep, comparing flipping to the ol' snake oil bit. Which is what they are doing!) The reason you are doing the right thing. The less hold these snakes have on the hobby. The more it can grow again!! Everyone dreams of that diamond in rough (Action #1) feeling. However, there are WAY WAY too many snakes out there. So I say lift all the rocks and let the snakes know they have nowhere to hide!! Make this hobby great again! Not let it die in some snake pit no one will go to. After watching the whole vid I felt I had to share my thoughts on it. More than my quick quirky remark. Good luck on the trades and whatnot. Hopefully, they will go to good traders/sellers. That way, future kids and collectors can enjoy them too. At a reasonable price not inflated by a soap box theatrical display.

Mike, I'm from Texas, born and raised. Comics here are so overpriced. It's hard to find a convention with great books at great prices. But I do want to hunt comics in New England areas. Keep up the great work. Your videos are inspiring. Thanks
