I know!! If it weren't for the Brave and the Bold, it could have been the gem of the con.

It goes without saying that Brave and the Bold is incredible but 50 Bucks for that Scarecrow sketch cover is nuts! Absolute bangers all round sir. Thanks

@Robs.fatstax

I agree, $50 was a steal. That is the joy about finding new artists with very little published work under their belts. You get far more value out of the art.

The Mysterio sketch cover looks like an official cover. It's stunning. That is a unique and one of a kind piece.

Chris Campana has been doing some covers for some of the Spider titles, so that doesn't surprise me at all. He nailed it for sure.

I forgot...If you put the "Frankenstein " book in the giveaway box, I wouldn't mind owning it. Thanks for sharing, Rob.

It was awesome meeting you, sir. I will be there all three days next year as opposed to this year being there for one awesome pick ups.

Thank you. Its important when looking for bigger books and going to these conventions to have a plan. Also when you find the book you like and the price is fair, strike, while you might find a slightly better deal later in the day, there is never the guarantee, and that book may disappear. Ultimately, have a plan. Cheers.

I will definitely go into next year's event more prepared. It was overwhelming for a first timer like myself lol. It was great meeting you and great job on the Comics Curing Cancer booth. Great haul and sketchs!

Yes, my first time at HeroesCon I was blown away. The only thing I dislike about it is that I live so far away. This prevents me from digging too much in the small books as its not worth transporting them home. HeroesCon for me is all about hunting bigger books and the creators. The other thing that stands out is the sheer lack of modern books compared to Bronze and Silver.

Amazing haul Rob!!! Awesome commissions. Wow, look at that JLA book! Presents really well. Great grab. ✌

HeroesCon is by far the king of Cons for comic book collectors. Every vendor there had good stuff, and if their prices were high, they tended to know it, and would deal accordingly. Its why it continues to be the one Con I travel across the country to attend.

A great Haul from Heroescon. It was a pleasure to meet you (again) and the rest of the crew from C3. Chris Campana is a great guy. He did a great Dare Devil sketch for me. Like you I love getting sketch covers there. I also picked up 3 of my hunt books there, Bloodstone #1 (CGC 9.8), New Mutants #87 (CGC 9.8) and DC Comics presents #26 (CGC 9.6). Over all I am very pleased with my experience there this year. Keep up the great work and awesome videos.

Being absolutely the BIGGEST Iron Man fan you've never met, and someone looking who has been on the hunt for Tales of Suspense #97 (the first "old" Iron Man book I bought as a kid in the '70's, and I believe it cost me $1.50 of my hard-earned allowance money), you should just give me the book. You'd be a happier man in doing so. :)

Question for you Rob: For Investment purposes is it better to have multiple copies of a lower grade slab or single copies of a higher grade? I have 2 Batman 423 9.4 and thinking of selling for a 9.6, likewise I have 3 ASM 252 9.6 thinking of selling for a 9.8. Can you assist in regards to the best investment strategy in these situations? Cheers and thanks!

@Robs.fatstax

8 күн бұрын

I really do not think of comic books as an investment, so I would be the wrong person to provide guidance. Ultimately I would think it depends on how old the book is and how much a high grade copy sells for.

@@Robs.fatstax I guess it boils down to the rate of appreciation? Do higher grades, not just (obv) sell for more, but appreciate faster. Apologies the bunch of questions mate. Im old to comics, new to getting back into and unfortunately the budget is very limited so yours is forced to make the hobby pay for itself as much as possible. Just know your interaction with your viewers, your community, assistance with questions and advice, is genuinely appreciated. A joy to watch and my personal thanks for the engagement mate.
