Silver Age Daredevil Books-Dissapointment?
Congrats to you and the Mrs.- hope it all goes well! Great copies of the X-Men comics- I bought all three off the comic book rack back in the day, during college. I was sitting in the college lounge and someone came in with Giant Size X-Men #1- I flipped through it, ran down to the book store, but sadly there were no more......I did pick up the regular issues off the stand from #94-104 and then money got tight so I'm missing issues here and there. Good luck ahead!
Appreciate you stopping by! Always interesting to hear everyone’s back stories. I never grew up with these books but I am appreciating them now 🙏
Amazing books! Love the intro
@@geeksurge thanks for watching! appreciate it 🙏
It was so great meeting you and congrats on your soon to-be-born!
Thanks Tessa! Was nice meeting you as well 🙏
okay i just subbed up, i seen a Bruins jersey in the background.
Appreciate it! 🙏
Love the fantastic four # 86 cover. It truly is an icon Dr Doom cover. I totally understand taking a backseat from RUclips to focus on life and family.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it 🙏
Wow! What a great experience you had there and you found very cool stuff. I always try to knock out my signatures out of the way 1st thing so I have time to enjoy just wandering. It never goes that smooth! 😁
Thanks Eric! What an epic time dude. I only needed to get two so the lines weren’t too bad early Friday. It was a mess on Saturday though. Thanks for watching dude! 🤙
thanks for coming!
First timer and what an epic experience! Thanks for putting on a great convention 🙏
Man, alllll the emotions. To say meeting you after 10 years of online friendship getting to meet in person was an absolute highlight. I cherish the memory of having a beer after the hot tub and just shooting the bull, what a blast. Focus on your family first, always. We are all right here when you need us. Great pickups, great video, and much love brother
All the love to you brother. Thanks for being apart of such an epic trip 🤙❤️
@@upnorthcomics it was my honor dude. I’ll never forget our Thursday night chilling by the pool
Ditto. Loved hanging out with you my man. Hoping we can again next year!
Love the stories you're all sharing. Sounds like an amazing time. I am also a toy nerd, so I feel I'm in good company.
Good to know. We need more toy nerds. Thanks for watching my dude 🤙
Nice meeting you. You gained a follower for life. Larry and Hanna
Was so cool meeting you guys. Mike talked a lot about you and didn’t know your MTG history. What an absolute blast we had. Thanks for being apart of the chaos!
Your the first one to post their terrificon experiences. A lot to unpack here. First off imnglad I found your channel from some of the other ppl on the trip. It's been fun watching this groups videos over the last few years. It was like a culmination of so many things. Ibfeel like I'm part of it all from the backseat just watching. Live the tmnt figs I also collect those as well as comics of course. But most importantly as a father of a 4 and 7 yr old i get it dude. Family is everything. Good luck with your new one on the way amd I'll catch you in the next video. Also the daredevil terrificon logo is bad ass. Cheers bro
Thanks so much for your support! It really means a lot. It was such a great trip, but it’s time to take a much needed break for awhile. Debating on mixing in some toy content to keep the channel going if that would appease the subscribers here
NGL, I completely forgot about that rainstorm lol. When you have a weekend as crazy as that one, it's surprising what you forget.
Fully agree. Thanks for taking me in and bring apart of an epic experience! Love ya dude 🫶❤️🤙
Sounds like a great time all around man!! So cool you got Klaus to sign that TDK Returns! So sweet! So happy for you man incredible all around :)
It was the best time of my life, man. Thank you so much for watching and your support chedski 🙏❤️
Scorpionglow for the win!!

Bruce it was great bumping into you at the Con. You had a big smile on your face the whole time. I went to the Con mostly to meet everyone and socialize. I only had the one day so I had to pack it in but I did get to pickup a book I have wanted for a while which was Planet Comics 1. I can imagine that 3 days of TerrifiCon was fantastic. Congrats Bruce! Love all the pickups
Jeff, what an honor to get to hang out with you again. Even if it was very brief, I love spending time with you. Thanks so much for watching and your continued support my friend 🙏
Love the quote: Didn't want to take video of the memory. I wanted to be the memory! Stormglow makes an appearance in the video!!
Thanks for watching Mr. Akins! Was so glad to finally have met you 🙏
Completely agree! That was the height and can’t get any better than that. Looking forward to chatting with you as we move forward. And congratulations on Baby #2! ❤
Thanks Dan! And thank you for the memories 🤙❤️
Nice video! X-men #24 for $1.50 !!? All day! What condition was that book in? Just picked up that Cable and Judge Dredd #11 myself
@@havis-gf5mz thanks for watching my dude! 🤝
This book does not look like a 5.5 I looked at the cgc photos, yes I looked up the number, and I’d still say it’s a 6.5 in my opinion. Nice book and congrats.
Thanks for watching!
Nice! Well done.
Thanks! Appreciate you watching! 🙏
Congrats on the first Wolverine!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
Hecks yes, reading is undervalued indeed. I have only owned 2 slabs and those were from mystery boxes and I have sold one and the other is on ebay. Nothing against slabs, I just can't read them and they would take up too much space
Thanks for sharing your input. There’s too much going on in the grading world with PSA announcing yesterday they will also be grading comics in 2025. Id rather just read them personally. Thanks for watching!
With the new Deadpool trailer, I’m soooo jealous of your pickup! Still an awesome pickup
@@richardwestphal5184 thanks Richard! Always appreciate your continued support 🙏
As someone who collects via slab and raw, it can be a balancing act. Obviously you want to keep your books as pristine as possible in case one pops and you want to slab it. But then you potentially create a hole in your raw run. I don't shy away from buying trade paperbacks, rougher condition copies, or later printings that can be cheaper if I really want to read the story. Besides, with TPBs, I find the reading experience WAY, WAY better than reading monthly issues, where you might forget what you read the month prior. One tip I would share with you and the readers here is to slow down, and enjoy what you already have. If your comics live in a box, I say get 'em out of there! Display your favourite covers & issues. Show off your grails. It gives longevity and value to every purchase you make. We as collectors tend to click "buy now", then immediately search for the next thing to buy. Then the packages arrive by mail, we inspect the books, and into the long box they go. Get more out of the purchase by simply displaying them more and curating your space so you're always reminded of how awesome your collection is.
I enjoyed your take on this- it’s refreshing and I fully agree that displaying your collection is the proper way to enjoy your books. When you are limited on space (like myself) you have to improvise. Sometimes I’ll put my books away for a few months and then take them back out to relive the moments with them. TPB are mostly what I read, but if I already have the book I’ll flip through it and enjoy the story. Thanks for watching! Much appreciated 🙏
Good video i am mid making my video and i kept thinking dont pick a comic i already did something on. lol Keep them coming and mando get back to making the show i miss it
Haha thanks for watching Troy! Really appreciate it 🤙
Awesome video and awesome messages
Thank you Richard! Appreciate you as usual tuning in 📺
Love your take on this tag video. Very Up North Comics.
Thanks Mr Akins! Glad to have you back and watching some videos 🙏👍
Great video and loved your selections! Agree that we should all be reading our books which is why I try to have reader copies of all my CGC/CBCS graded books. X-Men 121 is the true 1st full appearance of Alpha Flight and yes, undervalued as everyone gravitates to X-Men 120. That ASM has my attention too, as I'm collecting the 1st appearances of Spidey's rogues gallery. Your last pick was so true, this community is very cool.
Thank you so much for watching! I totally agree to everything. X-men 121 will always be my pick. I’m honored and glad to be apart of this community 🙏
Great ways of thinking outside the box when it comes to “undervalued” in the hobby. Much love and appreciation my brother! ❤
Much love to you too Dan! 🫶❤️ thanks for watching my brother
I'm with you on raw books, bro. I am a reader first and foremost. I don't worry too much about condition as long as it's a readable copy. I love how everyone's viewpoint on undervalued is so varied. I'm shocked by that Shocker price. Aw, you ended on a heartfelt statement. ❤ Nicely done.
Thanks so much man. Yeah reading my books is my jam. When I have the time and energy to do so lol. I got a long list and I’m slowly checking them off. Appreciate you watching and the support ❤️🤙
The real treasure is the friends we made along the way! 🤢🤢🤢 Nice video dude!
You had me at lettuce!🫶🥰
Love all your channels it's such a sweet pocket of ppl. Well said dude! Couldn't agree more
Thanks man. We have a good community and I’m honored to be apart of it. Thanks for watching, appreciate it! 🤙
Congrats bro, that's a big one!
Thank you and appreciate you watching! 🙏
Very impressive, stay connected! New supporter friend here. 11 done
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it 🙏
That book looks amazing on camera! What an epic book brother, congrats! Gotta get me one lol
Thanks for watching Ryan! Just taking your advice, getting serious about collecting. We will find you one brother 💪🏻
Only fitting thing to do now is to buy the book and yourself seats to Deadpool and Wolverine movie! Also I think like 90% of my slabs also slide around in the case.
Haha I was thinking of it today, I might have to watch it at home. Not sure if it’s something I can order on my TV or not. And thanks for the tip on the inner well sliding around, this is the first one I have that does this.
I hope to be able to get a book of that caliber one day. Congrats on such a huge purchase dude.
Thanks man. It still hasn’t hit me yet that I own this book. You’ll get yours, just takes the right timing. Thanks for watching 🙏
Awesome comic!
Thanks for watching as usual Richard! 🙏
very nice grail pick-up
Thank you! Appreciate you watching 🙏
Fantastic musicians unboxing. I love you doing the unboxing with your son. Older CGC cases do that.
Thanks for watching Travis! 🤙
Looks way better than it’s grade. Colors are just gorgeous man! Look how far you’ve come in such a short time, super happy and proud of you. Savor the moment my friend, these big guys don’t come up often, at least for me lol
My savage tales 1 slides in it’s case too, just happens. Just don’t shake it in a fit of joy too often lol
Thank you Brandon, really means a lot. Definitely have come a long way and I don’t want to stop now. Perhaps slowing down a bit will help me obtaining bigger keys. Thanks for watching as usual my friend! 🤙
@@upnorthcomics absolutely man. Every time, all the time! On to the next, can’t wait for Terrificon!
@Moncomics it’s so close I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Dude! HUGE congratulations! 💪 My grail no doubt. I can’t wait to join the club but more importantly, hang with you at Terrificon
You’ll get there Dan. No doubt in my mind. Can’t wait to meet you and hang out all weekend at the con! I’m getting super excited for it 🤙❤️
Nice! Wolverines 2nd appearance. LOL.........Sorry I just had to. Congratulations on picking up that awesome book
Haha! Works for me. Just love having this book. Thank you for watching! 🙏🤙
“It’s a comic!” Oh my god my heart. Congratulations dude!
Thanks man!! Forgot to mention how we all got big books this year… you got your avengers 4, Ricky got his Superman, Mike and Rohan got x-men 4, Brandon got DD 1… 2024 for the ages 👌 And it warms my heart to know my son knows what a “comic” is 😌
@@upnorthcomics heck yeah! It’s all downhill from here, baby!
@@LettuceComics we can technically quit collecting! 🥴
The reds on that cover are just *chefs kiss*!
Yeah the colors pop! Thanks for watching Ricky! ❤️🙏
Awesome iconic pickup, man! I have a two yr old as well, I got nervous for you when your son ran off with it to show Mommy. Very cute but very scary. Lol
Haha! He’s held most of the books in my collection. Don’t worry he didn’t have it for long 🤣👍 thanks for watching man!
Great pick ups. I used to have ASM 121 and 122 both CGC 9.6's and had to sell them. It still hurts to this day whenever I see them. Lol. I love that Wolverine 1. It was the 1st book given to me by my uncle and it what got me into comics. Even though newsstand copies sell for more, direct copies in 1982 were actually lower print run. About 80% of books in 1982 were newsstand while only 20% were direct. In theory it should be much easier to find a high grade copy of a newsstand than a direct. So technically direct should sell for more but the market is what it is. Either way it's still an amazing book. Have for you brotha. Excellent additions to the PC. 👊🏼
Appreciate you watching and the love, my man! I think the market is just used to newsstand commanding a premium. It doesn’t make much sense if you go by your theory I agree with you. And that’s actually a fact I never knew so thank you for shedding some information and allowing me to learn a bit!
Nice books, thanks for sharing
And I appreciate you watching 🙏
Thx for sharing👍👍👍
And thank YOU for watching! Appreciate it 🤙
Great list!
Thanks for watching and the support Richard!
