my parents worked the night shift at city hall,took a bus home early mornings,then walked the rest od the wat home, one morning they found dozens of comic books scattered along the road, from superhereo,to cartoon character,and romance,gathered them all,brought them home to me, i was around 10, that's what got me started in comics,and i still have all those comics they found along the road.

That is wonderful way to get into comics, and to have books with such a meaning and connection to your parents. This is the kind of story that makes me appreciate what comics can mean to people.

I recall reading a post years ago, on how a collector foolishly loaded his boxed of comics on his car rood, whilst traveling down the highway and they all went off his roof, and he couldn't stop to try to gather them up. So yeah, such people's loss is another's gain, .

😮 jaw dropped. Brave and the Bold complete run slabbed. 🤯

See. This is why I love your channel, guys. The appreciation for comics is through the roof! You dont have to own them to enjoy them. Same here!!! Love the history.

That’s probably 10s of thousands of dollars worth of books. He seemed nice! Thats a once in a lifetime situation 😊

I believe in karma, and I always thought you two were the nicest comic collectors/sellers I have seen. All the nice things you do, giving out great deals. giving a free book to a kid, pulling and holding books for people, is now coming back to you as the guy gives you his raw books. Good for you.

Thank you all for sharing this man's collection absolutely amazing

Terrific video! What a great guy and an astonishing collection of high quality books.

To give comics out he one special man! Great video! 😊❤

Those Adventure Comics are just stunning...holy cow

An extremely impressive collection! I love hearing how he started collecting as a kid and his history with his own collection. I'm an older collector myself and I've had so much fun collecting the facsimiles of several books in this video. I really enjoy being able to read them and see how much the writing and art has changed over the decades. Love the video guys!!! It's fun seeing collectors share their love and experience for the hobby.

So cool to see these longtime collectors , what an amazing collection he should feel so proud of putting that together

Such a cool guy to share his collection this way. This is what I love about our hobby.

The Batman books are great. I would love to just look at them.

Awesome collection!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

That dude is awesome.

I’m guessing you have a part 2 to this? What raw books did he give you? Did you purchase any of those grails?

I watched this when it got put up, but had to come back to rewatch the collection... just wow

I loved his enthusiasm and he is just a cool comic book collector. He just loves comic books.

I don’t know why I love other ppl collections, but I do. He really has a dope collection

That table is gorgeous

😮😮😮 That Brave and The Bold collection, ALL CGC!!! WOW!!!

I'm half this guys age, but my first book came from a Rite Aid pharmacy, I think a lot of folks first bought books came from those places. Great post as always guys, thanks for sharing!

Insane collection cant wait to see it

I hope you get to do more videos like this one. It was fun

those old Batman Golden age books are amazing, would love to own those.

Can't lie, it's hard to watch this and feel like I shouldn't be given a random book from the table. Gimmie gimmie gimmie. Great video to witness. Good people in the world. Very cool.

Yeah to be honest that’s my grail! Bought it on the newsstand when it came out (So I’m old). Graded it at a 5.0 years later. Been trying to trade up ever since. The best I have is a 9.0. I’ll never get lucky enough to own a 9.8!!

@@robandkrissy When I got into collecting in the late 70's, a friend of mine (that introduced me to the hobby) had a complete collection of every Conan appearance in comics and mags so this book stood out to me (in this vid). I'm just surprised that a 9.8 doesn't go for more than it does. There's one on Ebay for 6K. When I was collecting, you could get 4 Hulk 181s for the price of one equivalent grade Conan 1.

A very cool concept to highlight these types of personal collections. Keep up the great work!

Mind blowing! A whole B&B collection graded. Wow!!

If he's giving the collection to you for free, then you should give it for free too!

Wow! Amazing! I'm surprised he doesn't want to sell it

That complete Graded Run of The Brave and The Bold is Awesome!

This is one of those rare KZread videos which truly justifies having the label "Wait until the end." As someone who has been working on a complete B&B run for decades... damn. (bow)

That is an INSANE collection, lots of really hard to find keys in high grades. Many of these would on their own be the crown jewel of someone's collection and he's got them all like their infinity stones for Thanos' gauntlet.

Wow he had a complete run of Brave and the Bold slabbed! 😲 I must admit it’s very interesting and fun to see other people comprehensive comic collection. He reached a point he had plenty of comics to share some for free to people he felt would make good use of them. Nice to see the good side of the comic community! 👍

That slabbed collection is beautiful.

(Voxelb) my mind is having trouble comprehending the full 200 of brave and the bold Slabbed!🤯🤯🤯

Listening to this collector's stories I had the opportunity to buy two Amazing Fantasy #15 copies in VF condition for $500 @ in 1986 picked up from an original collection , just in a starting comic book shop that I later that year joined as a partner...and I passed ...and had the funds....oh well I bought tons of other comics at time but sold the real early silver age gems. I am glad he passed on part of his collecting joy to you .

So what exactly is he giving away? And what is the plan??

Such a great passionate guy and a amazing collection

Great collection

Did I hear “whole run of Brave and the Bold”? 😮

Whole table full of grails - drooling over here.

The war time early batman's are the best surely they beat those over printed bronze age keys.

Ladies and Gentlemen ……. Ding,Ding, Ding……. We Have a Winner!!!!

Absolutely awesome

I really want to own some early war-time batman so dope, love that first Alfred

Great video ! Nice collector with a great collection !

Awesome collection

That a awesome collection that cool. All the comics he had cost a lot of money.

Those books are incredible this man's collection is something to be in awe at like holy hell 😱😱

Someone wrote “Wow and wow”. I’ll just add “and Wow”!!! Is there going to be a part 2???

This by far craziest sickiest episode yet. Wow And wow 🙌🤘

So, did he give you any of his collection? Thanks!

Great Penguin cover!

I thought I may have owned that copy of Batman #55 before but I checked the cert and it was a different copy. Still pretty ironic though because only 9 copies exist CGC graded 6.5 blue label. Page condition was OW-W on both too. Dude had some good taste I must say. Loved that cover because of the very prominent Joker drawn by the late great DICK SPRANG!

what an ending lol

Anyone who uses the term "key" and locks up all of their comics in hard-plastic cases - graded by "experts" and never to be opened again - has completely missed the point of collecting/reading comics. F*ck the CGC. And f*ck what they have done to younger, easily-influenced "collectors."

great guy, great vid

Brave and the bold slabbed. Holy shit. Thats the coolest collection ive ever seen

He has some good books! I get so sick of seeing the same stuff sometimes. e.g. Marvel comics. Unless it's Atlas pre code horror comics that is.

Easy pal. Keep yours eyes on the road.

If that guy just gifted you all of those comics you guys are extremely blessed and lucky and he is an incredible human! If that happened to me the first thing I would do is hand down some of my prized books that I had before he did that to someone who is passionate about collecting but might not be able to afford it.
