Kinda new to the comic game. Was wondering if you have or would be willing to do a video on comic care and storage? Love the videos.

I read all my books and still get 9.8s, you just have to handle with care

KataKing8 The price of books has gotten expensive so buying multiple copies can certainly be cost prohibitive.

PubeStache It’s crazy! The X of Swords was $7 and any of the card stock covers add $1! Buy a few books each week and it adds up really quick.

These are always your best videos. Your knowledge is on display, clearly. And we as the viewers can hone in on some new keys that we may not have been thinking about or have fallen off our radar. Thank you as always

Perfect. I commented on the 10k subscriber contest video that I'd like to see your takes on modern books, and you delivered on the very next video! Fantastic. This is why I'm subscribed. The content is just too good.

Another hunt in the books , the books... Hawkeye, Visions ... the Flashpoint run ...& the keys , nice finds . As always , you’ve videos are informative, & fun , thanks again for great content

Buy one copy and instead of buying a readers copy you can read the book online

How can you read a comic book online? And is it free to do so?

I really like the voiceover of these collections. It lets you say a lot more about what you're thinking and related information.

That's what I'm talking about! One of your best vids. Very affordable lot. A ton of info. Complete runs. Drive home how people should be treating their books. Well done!

I love these videos. There is nothing like this here in Scotland

I love that Dr Fate no1. Such a beautiful cover. Amazing video again Gary.

Thanks for the video sir. Not a bad price for a modern collection. Good books. Stay well and keep it comics.

So happy I got that Doctor Fate #1 a while ago! Loved this video! Thanks for sharing always 😍❤️🔥🔥🔥

Great video, hard to be upset about books that were loved and read. Glad to see they were enjoyed.

I love these haul videos . Good stuff . Wish I could find lots like this lol

Great video. I was shopping while watching, I saw some stuff that I might want from it. lol.

Another nice haul. Look forward to seeing some of them in auctions.

Nice pickup. Because of COVID and all the lockdowns, etc. I have become VERY comfortable with reading books online. So now I choose to read ALL my books on my laptop and keep them in the bags/boards when I pick-up from the LCS so there is no chance of damage. Sometimes you just HAVE to see the artwork up close so THEN I will be much more careful. THANKS for sharing.

I need to be versed on modern books. Thanks for sharing!

Damn bro ur on a roll with the collection vids

Love the TT12- thanks for sharing

Very nice haul mate, as you said condition is everything.

I would pay that all day for a haul like that. Nicely done!

Good deal. You can probably double up at least on the stuff shown and then everything else if you get $1 a pop for, it will work out. If I can double my money, or come close, I will always buy. Mind you I don't factor in my time...I consider it part of the hobby. Gotta spend some time selling to support the buying.

As always... great video 👍🏻

Really liking the voice over. I think it lets you say more about what’s going on and inform us some more as well

Gary my man another knock out video Keep schooling this game out here 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Really wish collections like these could be had for prices like that in Australia. Have to be so lucky to have them fall your way

Congrats on 10k!!!!

Hey Gary, at 7:34, that Howling Commandos of Shield issue 1 is definitely a spec book! First appearance of Glyph, who is rumored to be coming to the Disney Plus shows

Nice haul Very Gary as always! Modern books are very tough to sell if not 9.8s!

Can't wait to see the goodies. 😍

Cool video dude 👍👍I'm check out that Vision series

Always interesting to see this hunt vids

Gary, you paid a fair price for a fair ( condition ) modern collection. I always buy two copies ( or more ) of each current comic book, putting the high grade copy in a Golden Age Size Mylites2 ( with two Golden Age Size backing boards ) then into storage and keeping the lower grade copy as a reader.

That’s a sweet little collection.

Still a nice purchase. I’m sure you’ll have no problem flipping those, especially the sets.

I read all my comics but will take some extra issues of particular versions I want slabbed so as to keep them extra crisp 👌🏻

Awesome work mate

I try to keep my current books as crisp as possible. When it comes to some of the ones from early 90's and 80's I have are readers but in good condition since back then they were my favorite things. I kept them well enough not thinking about resale value but how I valued them for myself. Once I got into collecting more heavily now don't even look at books like the ones I owned before.

150 bucks nice pick up. Just few of those keys to sell u got ur moneys back.

Dude all those Guardians books...I WANT!

I think you payed a good price Gar! Well done !

Nice bra love this love to see what's in other peoples collections. Thanks for taking us long for ride...... tty laters,"the comic book villain"

Great video as always

The term Modern Age can be somewhat confusing as it started in 1985. It’s harder to get pristine books from that time period. Maybe there should be a new time period for books from the last 10 years. Plus the paper stock being used is so susceptible to any type of imperfection.

So what is Copper age? Is that synonymous with Modern? Mind you, I started collecting in 1983(when I was 10) so even Bronze age was a new term back then.

@1standkeys28

Copper covers the 80's and into early 90's. Everything from 1992 to current is considered Modern. But i agree that its time to close the book on that time frame and create a name. I think 1992-2012 should be named, and 2013-current should be modern.

@@woady_one i too call 92' and newer modern, because the industry has it labeled that way. However what is your opinion, for at what age of a book is it to be no longer considered modern? Is it after they reach 30 years old, 40 years old, 50 years old. At some point in time, we should stop calling a book a modern.

@@1standkeys28 Gotcha, makes sense. I only(generally) collect pre-’90 books so 'modern' as a category is out of my wheelhouse.

Check the spec on that Point One stuff.

Respect that you do clarify that you view comics as an investment not going to lie though I’ve seen way worse conditioned books and it seems that the person you bought the books from really loved their comics and the fact they bagged and boarded their books shows the care they have most people don’t. Not complaining about how you view the comics especially when trying to get them properly graded but most can’t afford multiple copies to hermetically seal one and read the other. Having read books gives the books an extra heart and soul that I think maybe next time instead of saying not handled well attribute the fact that this person clearly loves their books. I personally send books off for grading from purchasing others collections but just was a little hard to hear how you described someone’s collection when most don’t put half the care that this person did. 9.8s can’t replace loving the stories and beautiful art within the books. Love the channel and not talking down your opinion whatsoever it was just rough to hear some of the way you discussed this persons collection.

You're right all these modern books should be well kept since they're new no excuses on to mishandle books like these or any other book at all. The Ultimates comic issue #2 with the Galactus Da Vinci, cover art looks almost like the '92, Wonder Man Mirror/Mirror comic art issue #15.

Great video haul of books 👍 cheers and stay safe..

Nice newer collection!

Glad i found your channel good content subbed.

Great Collection. A lot of modern books get handled poorly by Diamond. It is a struggle to find a 9.8 nowadays. I hate spending additional money on pressing but I have to. I got an X-Men 1 retailer incentive that is worth over a 100 dollars. Bough it for 14 and it was dinged up bad by Diamond.

That Hawkeye run has a nice manga variant to No5 if that was in your pick up.....goes for a bit of coin

I don't know how you find this stuff but fair play on another good vid!!

Would you do a 'how-to' on some at home safe&smart cleaning/pressing?? Keep it comix homie!! Excelsior!!

I literally bought some issues of vision to read and was so close to selling it lol

Not bad for $150! As long as you have those channels to move these types of books, which of course you do 👍💯✌️

id kill for all that daredevil, looks good man

I have just got that ultimates run for free. I will keep an eye on them books

$150 is fair. The books were read and not in pristine condition. Some nice books to pick up at that price. Great video as always.

Nice pickup for a reasonable price!

I am sure I noticed a Guardians vol 3, 23 in there, which is a minor key for Venom collectors.

nice pick up gary

I love that doctor fate book!

A steal, no doubt, in this purchase. Did have a question tho: where can I find those clear book display stands?

Doesn't sound like a bad deal for the books you got. Will take work to turn them around understandably but sounds not bad.

Nice pick up for $150. You did good !

Just for the read I would pay that....you got a steal deal

It's getting harder to find perfect books at alot of lcs. It seems almost everything from diamond has spine corner defects. I frequent 2-3 shops in the Chicagoland every week & it's common at those shops consistently. It's more common on marvel, dc and image. I wonder if it's a paper quality issue?

Well Gary, I'm s silver and bronze age guy, but because it's a video from you watched it anyway!!!😁

It does make me wonder if the seller just picks up these books from other jobs either for free for for pennies and resells. The reason I say this is the weird storage, organization and they have bags and boards this go around.

Well done Gary! Youre so closed to 10k!!

Uh oh, Gary. Did you see the Prime 1 reveals? I have a feeling you may be buying some statues soon... Fabok is working with Prime 1 on a Batman statue, Superman v Doomsday, Wonder Woman v Hydra and Penguin. The Batman is the standout to me.

Hello from Japan another awesome video

What was that second one you put up, the Batman comic? I hadn't seen that one before but I like the cover.

That’s a nice pickup at a decent price for the quantity.

On the brink of 10k!!!!

I definitely wouldn't mind reading the Guardians of the Galaxy books X-Men great haul

As someone who collected in the late 80s, I think the grading craze is ridiculous. It would have been good to show some of the damage described as well and give opinions on what it would possibly grade out as for reference. Enjoyed the video!

If Aquaman convergence #2 was in those convergence books, that is a really good spec book, most people don't know it, but that's Doctor Fates 1st cameo.

Great stories / reads - Spidey/Deadpool - VISIONS ...a steal at $150 !

Interesting. Like Graphic Novels. Comics are very hard to take care of in my personal opinion.

Glad you found a Teen Titans #12.

Titans 12 is nice!

Not a bad Modern book hall. I agree 100 percent that Modern books NEED to be in prime condition. I always buy 2 books, one to read one for the long box. Thanks for the video.

Were do you find these collection ps great vid

When you mentioned the packing of the books, were you saying he had them packed loose in the longboxes and that is bad because they should be packed tight, or were you just saying the ones in the plastic things was too tight and it damaged the books pressing against the rim.

Have you ever submitted a book that you read (or was read by anyone) to CGC and had it score a 9.8 or better grade?
