You have good taste in what you picked out. You remind me of me when I was younger and bought a ton of stuff at every show. But I was way more organized and always brought my lists so that I instantly knew what issues I needed and those that I already had. Cheers.

I do most from memory, so the runs I know I am complete on I dont grab much of. For instance I think I only need 3-4 issues left to complete Defenders etc. I should make lists for those runs that are almost done. At the same time I buy so many collections that the super hero stuff I get pretty often so I dont buy it as much. I usually buy the stuff that is not as popular but I still love. That stuff I dont see in collections as often.

So much fun to watch, can’t go wrong with Bronze Age and silver age books… 😎

Wow Ziggy, I didn't know you started a separate comics channel at last. I had just been watching Very Gary's channel on his exhibiting at NYCC, which is why I guess KZread served your video up. That said, I'm actually surprised you bought so many comics there. I always thought you avoided wizened dealers and only went with the very best deals you got from thrift shops and customers trading at your store. But I see the $3 boxes these dealers have are incredible. My LCS just slaps a $30-$40 price tag on almost anything from the Bronze Age. And yes, always nice to see a few Comics Cons that still actually have...comics!

@pop-comics

2 жыл бұрын

Yes I got sick of comic videos tanking the main channel which would bum me out since I want to do them all the time. So I finally decided to use my original KZread channel and just post comic content here and its been amazing. Definitely be posting comic content way more here now that its own thing going on. And I will buy bargains anywhere I can find them, I spent a small fortune at NYCC this year, but I am also finding an amazing amount of awesome comics for great prices. Yes there is so many over priced booths, but if you look at them all you eventually find the gems hidden away. What I have been doing is the Teen Titans / Aquaman test, I have been trying to put a sets together for a while now (Since I want all the Nick Cardy Covers) so I know the values pretty well off the top of my head. So I check a booths Aquaman / Teen Titan sections and can tell immediately if I will find some awesome stuff for a great price or not. And If I dig into a random $3 box and they show up I know game is on haha

First goal was to get content out there that actually gets some views, second goal is to hit those targets. Then hopefully I can do Comic content regularly.

Also it’s important to mention the increased space is that they reduced floor space in general to vendors. Plus plenty of some of the heavyweight vendors just didn’t sign on in the first place. I personally couldn’t give my tickets away for free. Do you feel that comics selling aspects of the convention satisfied the comics dealers needs?

@pop-comics

2 жыл бұрын

I know there was less vendors because the aisle where much wider, did they make the booths smaller for each vendor? I felt like the booths were the same size as normal I had not noticed them being smaller. I personally found so many comics I wanted this year for a good price so I thought it was fantastic. I talked to a few vendors some said they had a banner year, others said it was lower then before but still decent business.

Have you ever considered getting a booth yourself on the con? I bet you could unload a ton of pops there over the weekend. But it's probably crazy expensive to get a booth.
