Love it when you show books like She-ra book, it just adds more Easter eggs to search for when out hunting the thrift shops garage sale etc. it kinda like having a new mini goal that keeps you moving forward.

Batman #227 that cover is an absolute classic!

I do like the cover of Batman 61 because it is unique. There can’t be too many covers with Batman and Robin getting to work on one of their designs .

Key collector is littered with “key” comic books that just sit. That is an amazing example of what you were talking about.

Great video Bry. Appreciate the honesty when it comes to collecting.

I think you nailed that Dave Steven’s take. My LCS got like 3 short boxes of uncirculated Steven’s books with all the keys…Johnny Quest, Alien Worlds, DNAgents…etc…. They send out a whole bunch to cgc and got a lot of 9.8s. Even got planet comics 1 double cover both covers at a 9.8!!! I won an Alien worlds 4 from their whatnot stream and sent it right to cgc

Yet another valuable video to the comic collecting world, thanks Bry!

Congratulations dude! You won the giveaway for May! Shoot me a DM with your shipping details.

I think the ME Ghost Rider title got a collectability bump due to the covers on issues 2, 3, 4, and 5, all of which were drawn by Frank Frazetta. The prices on those started to go up, I think, at about the same time Frazetta's Famous Funnies covers (209 to 216) departed the stratosphere. Also, this ME run is only 14 issues, so it's attainable, although most available copies are likely to be lower-grade. One other point in the ME run's favor (for collectability) is that the books generally have a precode horror vibe, with frequent horrific cover content. The character was likely pretty popular. He graduated into his own book from his original backup role in Tim Holt (starting with issue #11, after which he continued to appear in the title for several years). He was also a regular part of the roster for ME's "Best of the West," which ran for a few years in the early fifties. So a real fan could get three different Ghost Rider comics at the same time in a single publishing cycle. And then there are those 3 appearances in later issues of Bobby Benson's B-Bar-B Riders, another ME title, which by 1952 seemed to take the title toward some horror destinations, including another Ghost Rider cover (#15) and a partial (#13, by Frazetta), as well. Not too shabby. And there was even a full-page ad inside some of these ME comic books offering for sale a Ghost Rider Skull Mask. How have a lived so long without one?

You're comment about spending $500.000 was a banger. I totally agree. It's like buying a exclusive book or figure but have zero interest in the subject. Thanks!

I think I have the 10th appearance of the 4th bat plane 😂

I get what you're saying about that House of Secrets cover. Just something about some of those classic horror covers that reach out and grab you.

Yeah who doesn’t love that Batman goodness?!?! Nice to see any books moving in the right direction now a days. Great video and keep killing it man!!!!!!

Nice post Bry. One day, when I can start collecting in earnest again, I have got to acquire that Neal Adams Batman in high grade. That and the 1st cover of Ras Al Ghoul. Two of my favorite Neal Adams batman covers. These books also serve as an important reminder that there is a lot more to collecting than whatever is the current flavor of MCU FOMO. See u at 4 pm later today. Cheers!

Always like watching the books you show us on here.

I have to get my hands on that house of secrets

That Batman 227 cover is hella good!

Learned the hard way old don't equal valuable and cool isn't always collectable. Had to find a focus to stop from buying any & everything.

Never knew about that HOS book. Really sweet cover

I’ve known Steven’s work from the Rocketeer and I’ll always collect it i.e. Pacific Presents, and Starslayer. One day I’ll get you in a 9.8!

Great video man, and definitely Batman 227 is still a solid classic cover! Thanks for sharing!!

Always showing new and interesting content

Batman 227 by Neal Adams and Planet Comics by Dave Stevens are fire! Thanks for sharing, Bry.

He-Man?! Who would have guessed.

Fun to see where the market is going now that mcu spec isnt driving sales like it used to

Golden Batman books in good grades are usually a good investment for a cheap price, beside spidey batman collectors are everywhere

That Schomburg cover doesn’t have particularly striking. Good girl art. no headlights no aliens no robots so that’s why that one’s a little cheaper. And that LB Cole patches cover is actually pretty iconic. I’ve seen that reference on a couple of chat boards in the last couple months.

Didn't think he-man would be worth a few hundred dollars.

Spot on as always, B. Couple things: Still waiting for Dave Stevens'...ahem...Bettie Page/'Zulu' cover to blow up on the collectors market. A video of 'transgressive' comic covers (and the sickos who collect them) could be in order. The Neal Adams Batman 227 is cash, but his Phantom Stranger covers should also be in the mix - as collectible Adams placeholders, at least... And finally... Would trade (almost) any modern Venom appearance for that Ghost Rider in a NY minute. 'Cus everybody gots Venom appearances.

show - thanks for the advice

Great video Bry!

Dave Stevens isn’t done heating up yet

If I was dripping with cash I'd buy those Goldies and that slapping Green Hornet. The fickleness is real and I don't understand. I have a really nice lot of higher mid grade New Funnies and Classics Illustrated that have little comparative value. I didn't pay much for them but, boy, are they beautiful books to look at. Plus I love trying to imagine it being some small kid scraping together a dime to go up to the corner store to grab the book they cannot wait to get. It's easy to forget that when kids were buying these back then they could hardly afford to get more than a couple of books and that book got read over and over again because there was so little "entertainment" available. They're also thrilling in their simplicity. Mostly, that is. But, yeah, holding onto an 80-year-old comic that was never meant to survive the month it came out just gives me all of the warm feelings. But I feel that way about a lot of old things.

...Batplane? Why is that even a thing to make note of?

Gimme dat slab!!!! Love the content!

Buddy Bry! Thanks for another less “Professor”. Would love to have that Batman 227 in the PC. Keep grinding bro!✌️

Stevens was the modern day Matt Baker, but more about the ass and less about the hair. 😂 The census count for Jungle Comics #1 (my favorite Stevens cover) is surprisingly low compared to others of his from the same era.

As always solid advice!

I have got to get my hands on the Batman 227 someday

2nd bat plane lol

Great video Bry! I would rather have the Venom 3.

Good and beautiful video, recommend adding more pictures of the comics

Adams & Wrightson rule!

Great vid! Keep up the great work!

Marvel did aquire the golden age Ghost Rider and published some books under the title. I am more surprised for how much the Marvel Golden Age version of Ghost Rider no. 1 goes for in comparison to the original ME version. Did marvel ever do any crossover with the two characters?

Batman 227 is sweet, one of the best

I would change the title from "impressive" to ridiculous comics books sales.

Would love that ghost rider, even thoguh its not related

Yes for $550 I'd rather have a 5.5 of Bat227 than Bat61.

Batman 227 will be mine one day m thx for sharing Bry

Batman 227 is a great cover

Turtle Power!

If someone is getting into comics, would that Batman 227 be a good long term hold?

Batman 227 is on my want list.

Love the Batman!

Brys the best !

that Batplane one was probably for a completionist

Question, and you may have addressed this in a previous video and I just missed it. As a collector and seller, what is your opinion on celebrity signings on comics, like an official movie adaptation of the 1989 batman movie signed by Michael Keaton or a Wolverine comic signed by Hugh Jackman. Is that something you would recommend or pass unless you just personally want it?

Good show. Do you ship oversea?

My investment is not spending too much on my collection and your vids are great Bry thanks

will you have precode horror on your what not sale?

Another awesome video 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

When is the next mystery boxs

Love the video.

Great channel, you only make videos worth watching

Batman books usually go strong

Hope I’m not the example of how not to buy lol

Fair point about that Schomburg cover, hard to figure sometimes what sells.
