Great video. I love these kind of videos. Made me target a couple books to put on my radar. Had to laugh at the Green Lantern book currently MIA. Could talk volumes about those books..... such as, even though they sold a TON of Spawn #1, I think lots of people got pissed they didn't instantly increase in value and might have trashed them. Also as I understand it, the NEWSSTAND version is currently pretty pricey in top condition. Hope the new movie does the character justice - it should now that CGI has caught up with the pages. Only thing that might sink it is if McFarlane ego gets the best of the project. I love me some TM, but his ego is his biggest asset AND detriment all at the same time.

Spawn first appeared in a magazine comic. I forgot what it's called. it's not the first appearance of spawn. U can pick it up for a dollar in the comic store. U can find spawn comics Just a dollar a piece. I always hated Todd McFarland art. I'm surprised watchmen first app. Is still in the dollar bin too. First bloodshot and first ninjax is still in the dollar bin too. I think they should go up too. Those 3 should be alot higher

It's the reason you should use proper fitting bags and boards. You don't have to worry then. As long as your not throwing them across the room or buying trash protection. Buying strictly graded you're missing out on some gems. Met Todd McFarlane, got books signed. No reason for certification, they are mine, I have the personal experience (and video proof), no plans on selling them.
