But like is the production quality actually lower quality on the newsstand? It seems like sometimes the paper's thinner & the printing's lighter on the inside. But also the covers tend to be more colorful than the direct like more ink saturation.

Yeah, having a RUclips channel throws your collecting into overdrive doesn't it. You had a great year of pickups, brother! I'm working on a similar video, but mine won't be ready for a bit. Love seeing the old horror.

So happy for you, bud! Love your videos, love the X-Men, and can't wait til 2025!

great pickups!, I enjoy your content and look forward to more in 2025 ;0)

You had an awesome year of pick ups, love those X-Men books!

Love old Xmen books!

And by "Silver Age," I meant "Bronze Age!" Don't skewer me too much, guys!

Congrats Derek! I'm actually a little surprised you didn't have that book yet. Many don't like that cover but I think it's wild and i really enjoy it. Also congrats on surpassing 500 subs, very much deserved!

you have been graded 6.75

Woah! Huge pickup! Congrats man!!

Congrats, that's a great book

Congrats on that book. So nice. It would be interesting to know your experience buying from a seller in the states - I'm in Canada as well. For example, shipping, duties, customs experience, etc... Also, I'm pretty sure there is a channel on RUclips that discusses how to remove ballpoint pen from a cover. Not sure on how well but it was quite surprising. I'll look for it and see if I can get you the link.

Congrats on the new comic!

Congrats that's a great book to have for the collection.

Damn! Congratulations! Thats a huge one. A top 5 of all X-Men books

Sweet book and an awesome pickup!

Awesome and it looks great condition!!

Sweet book! I’m jealous!

I feel that those old Classics Illustrated are greatly undervalued. Great story. Thanks for sharing.

I just recently came across a modern reprint of the Star-Lord stories from Marvel Preview. It is standard comic sized and the reprinted stories from Marvel Preview are in black in white. The book is called "Star-Lord: The Hollow Crown". It was published June 26th, 2013.

"All Thunderbirds are go!" Heh.

It used to be that flea markets were bargain centers,, now every dealer looks up “last sold on eBay “ button and dollar bins have become 10 dollar bins overnight!!

FYI. There is an error on some copies of the brave and the bold 93. It's on the interior copyright. The error says "brave and the bowl"

That opening slaps! I think that's what the kids are saying these days! Great video man, you put in the work and found some cool books. Keep up the great work my friend!

The story of the X-men 266 is unreal. I paid $175 for mine and so you lucked out. I did get my X-men annual 14 for $2 though so I got that going for me.

Just absolute great stuff, Derek. Love the new intro and logo. Neal Adams 🔥. I squealed when I saw the Star Trek. Beat up or not, those are too cool. Great video brother. And bloopers at the end, my favorite!

I actually found a box of great comics in an attic decades ago. A lady owned a hairdresser shop with an apartment over the top. She had raised her son there and he was a grown man and gone. I was 17 in high school. She was having a yard sale and I had stopped ot look at some old toys. I asked about comics and she said he son had put some of his comics in the attic, and she would sell them to me if I got them out for her. So up a ladder I went! She wanted all his childhood stuff gone. I bought the box of comics, around 250 of them, all Marvel for $25 (she had asked $.25 and I asked how much for all and she said $25). This would have been around 1992. I went home and started looking through them more closely and found; Marvel Spotlight 5, Ghost Rider 1, X-Men 94, Giant Size X-Men 1, Hulk 181, Iron Man 55, Amazing Spiderman 129, and bunch of other amazing books. Basically the books were all mini runs (like Marvel Spotlight 5 through Ghost Rider 10; Giant Size 1 through X-Men 100). Years and years later when CGC came on the scene, I started grading them. The worst grade I got back was a 7.5 (Marvel Spotlight 5). Most ended up 8's and 8.5's. I think the highest book was the X-Men 94 in a 9.2. So that was a true attic find everyone dreams about!

Nicce video. Rat/mouse chew is so terrible

What Nothing happens in tales of suspense 96? Ummm Iron man gets turned to stone and thrown off a building. It horrified my 9 year old mind. Fortunately Next issue agent Sitwell …. But that would be a spoiler so nope nope nope

Neal Adams is supposed to of hated that Action #419 cover, he drew a background to it, but without his knowledge the editor thought he had a better idea! That Adventure #415 is a Bob Oksner cover, he did a few of the later ones I believe! Sorry to disagree with you but that Weird War #9 is from 1972, Bronze age! Lovely Nick Cardy cover! Funnily enough #8 is a Neal Adams cover, so just missed out, lol!

interesting attic finds - if your buddy is interested, I'll make a offer on the vault of evil, shanna she devil or asm 153. just something to think about.

Ha! Great intro ❤ What fun to process some old attic books

Really great books! Too bad about that Star Trek #1.

love u

I Funkin Loove Archie & Jughead. Also thank you for the shoutout. It’s always a joy to mix your music 🙏

Great video 🎉I agree 109%

To much coffee man I now want to read! Nice to meet you on Nate’s channel last night.

It's always weird to hear the sales tactics that happened to you directly from the dealer

Spoon! Finding a Tick in the wild is...well, wild. I too am a Peter David Xfactor enjoyer. Maybe we need to have a conversation about that run. I don't have 1-50, more like somewhere in the 30s, but I'd love to finish and reread it. Such a great book. That booth looked amazing. Complete chaos in longbox form. I would love to just plant myself and dig.

Finding a personal grail is awesome!

Hmm I only have 1-4,7-9 of that run

Wow. Where was that?

Holy Stuff! First*

Nice pickup of TMCM!

My dad got me into Troma films while growing up, and as you can see from my name it stuck! I love it when I'm playing games and people actually get the reference.

Love that Nick Cardy Ghosts cover. Such a fun title. The EC books are my favorites. Love Wally Wood. The Toxic Avenger trailer made me kind of want to watch it again. Fun video, Happy Halloween!

Have to get issue 1-2 of infernal man thing. Have issue three. I got lucky and found the omnibus for man thing cheap. Don’t have or know much about the pre code horror books. Cool new books!

AAHHH

Congrats on the originality of the video! 👍 Those were great questions! 👏

I loved this! Mrs. Uncanny did a fantastic job! Good questions and answers.
