Добавлен 5 ноя 2014
I’m an enthusiastic collector of comics, music (Vinyl records & Other Media) & other cool vintage Collectables. To celebrate our passion for collecting, share and celebrate our great finds, even admit the less than memorable acquisitions, and along the way, perhaps share stories of music, food/cooking, and the other great collectable finds (Toys, original art, posters etc etc…) in a positive, supportive and RAW environment! I’m laser focused on delivering REAL discussions, rather than ‘video production’ at this point and time. I’ll ultimate increase production values slowly but surely. But for now, my TOP priority is creating entertaining content for all of you amazing viewers!

Grim Reaper is a NWOBHM band. Cool pickups
Nice, thank you so much for your feedback! Gotta love British metal. I was always a Judas Priest/Iron Maiden fan…but always fascinated with newer bands in the metal genre!
Appreciate the shoutout! Great video!!
Of course my brother! You are always at top of mind!
Been casually reading comics since second grade I hope to build a collection as big as yours
Thank you so much my friend! Believe it or not, I really don’t have a huge collection. I’ll frequently upgrade copies or decide to sell off portions I lose interest in. Perhaps one of these days, I’ll cover my collection and how I decide what to keep and what to sell. Overall my mind sent is usually quality over quantity. (Sort of like food hahahahaha)
Those are Great books
Thanks so much my friend!
great 💙💖💙
Thank you so much!
In the comics, on earth 11029, Tony Stark and Victor Von Doom swap bodies. Doom is in Tony's body and vise versa. I don't believe, however, this is how the MCU is going to handle explaining this. I don't like RDJ as Doom because I think there's a good chance marvel screws the character (and movie as a whole) up- which sucks especially when the last movie RDJ was in (Emdgame) is considered by fans to be better than everything since, and I think there's this idea in the fandom of "tainting" RDJ's image in the MCU. That being said, there's nothing we can do about the casting and I know RDJ will do the best with what he's given and ultimately give us an amazing performance. I hope there's at least nods to the numerous connections Doom and Iron Man have had in the past
Fantastic points my friend! I definitely see the concerns. I sort of suspend belief when I see movies (I hope to see the Deadpool/Wolverine movie very soon btw…it makes me wonder (pure speculation) RDJ rejected any Iron Man movie offers and Disney decided, give him any other character…as long as they can get him on the screen…and hope he pulls in the crowd. I just hope the movie is well made, because with good material, I suspect RDJ will me amazing. He really is a very talented actor. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
what state you trade in
Scott, I’m in New Jersey. Where are you located? Hoping you are near me!
Wonderful video! 👍💙
Thank you so much my friend! Very much appreciated!
Ronnie was quite a screamer!
You are so right Josh! I was so delighted to have seen his albums as a part of the trade. Such great additions to my collection!
Great stuff John , thanks for the IG follow ! I get my books from my lcs allstar comics lindenhurst Long Island and a thrift store in Freeport and tri county flea market in Levittown for some dollar bin digging . The occasional IG live sale although I hate paying shipping
That is awesome Mike! Some of my family live near Commack LI. I bet you get some great stuff dollar bin picking bro! If some how you ever get near the Atlantic City area, let’s definitely connect! Thank you again for subscribing and for you comments! Much appreciated!
Great stuff John , thanks for the IG follow ! I get my books from my lcs allstar comics lindenhurst Long Island and a thrift store in Freeport and tri county flea market in Levittown for some dollar bin digging . The occasional IG live sale although I hate paying shipping
I enjoyed your video and content, and looks like you got some nice additions to your collection-however-if you'll allow me a bit of constructive criticism- anyone who claims to be a big Buddy Holly fan would certainly know his first LP (he only released 2 in his lifetime)-The Chirping Crickets from 1957. Same holds true for Bad Company's 3rd LP from 1976. These albums were huge sellers, had massive hit singles and have been classic rock staples for decades, so IMHO anyone who has spent any amount of time listening to these artists/bands should know their basic catalogues. The Buddy Holly Story movie featuring Gary Busey debuted in May, 1978 and was also a fairly big success- although there was little in the way of truth or actual facts presented in the film. It would also be cool to see what label/pressings you got when you show the records.
Thanks for the feedback my friend. I didn’t realize Buddy Holly only had 2 albums in his lifetime. Amazing. Besides this album, I also have a best of Buddy Holly album. I do enjoy a Buddy Holly music, and was impressed that he had so many recognizable sones in his first album. Now, on Monday, I’ll be posting another record video. Check this out. I was selling records to a very nice lady, and while she was picking a stack of records from me, she asked if I liked a couple artists…and she mentioned that she didn’t want records from those artists anymore. One thing lead to another, and I went right to her house to pick them up. Ultimately we traded for her records and she paid me much less cash. Wait till you see the records I got from her. Monday my friend…stay tuned, and please don’t miss it. 🙏🏽
Nice finds!
Thanks brother. Wait till you see my next video! The day after I got this collection, a person came by to buy records, and we ended out trading for other records she had but didn’t listen to anymore…hint…the records I got in the trade were even better than these. Stay tuned…I’ll post those in a few days.
The cover of Doctor Stange #183 by Gene Colon is what i believe the inspiration for the Iron Maidens album cover for The Number of the Beast. In an interview with artist Derek Riggs mentioned the Doctor Strange issue but couldn't remember the issue number. Love the comic and the album. Great idea for a video and sweet audio set up.
Thank you so much my friend and I never connected DS 183 with the Iron Maiden album until you pointed that out! Thank you for doing so! Some album art is so spectacular, I can see how comic art would inspire it. Thanks so much for joining the community! Much appreciated
I still need to grab some Comic Capsules.
Nice digs! I like the idea of making my own slabs but IMO they should add a fourth black side bar that covers the hinges across the top of those comic skins. They don't look uniform with the black border on only three sides and the clear hinges sticking out on top. You have to remove the other 3 sides to open it anyway, so what is the advantage of having the hinges exposed? Maybe it would look more uniform if they made them clear instead of black. It would look more like a real slab too.
You know, I never thought about that, but you make an excellent point. It would make it more uniform. Brother…I like how you think! Thanks for the feedback! I definitely like how you think!
@@Johnthecomicguy Same, bro! I'll definitely be digging through your channel's "back issues" when I have some more free time. lol Glad you popped up in my feed I like your style!
@@Darth.Shredder thanks brother!
Very slick set up!
Thank you so much my friend!
I’ve only gotten back to collecting comic books and learning. I do look for keys and runs of certain events but to relieve the stress of value I just dig through the $1 bins or when stores have huge discounts on back issues. I’m not too picky when it comes to condition as long as it’s a key and new stand for the right price!
I think is an awesome way to collect Jon! And after you dig through the $1 bins, hopefully you’ll go home with a stack of fantastic books! Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing how you collect and please stay in touch!
@@Johnthecomicguy thank you. Sometimes I am really surprised at what some stores throw in the $1 bins. I know it’s an inventory thing that they just want to move out and don’t have enough space for their new inventory coming in.
@@jon6309 very true. And people all have different collecting habits. More than once I’ve walked up to $1 bins at a convention, and I see the person ahead of me with a stack of books I absolutely would have purchased…they just beat me to it…all at $1 bins!
@@Johnthecomicguy ahh I seem to get lucky. I know some people were disappointed when they came in just a few minutes late as I digged to the bin and found some Bronze Age keys. I try not to stress about it and do it for fun. I haven’t sold a comic book yet and don’t plan on becoming a dealer anytime soon.
Great interview and video! Hearing these guys talk only reaffirms my comfort with supporting them and wanting to see major success with Comic Capsule! I can't wait for the next iterations of the capsules.
Yes, these guys were really impressive. I’m so glad you enjoyed the interview!
Cool👍
Great interview! Can’t wait to see what happens in the future!
Thank you so much Matt!
" Protection through Innovation" is a great motto to follow. This was very educational and a great video as always. Thank you for sharing this conversation with us all. Personally, (with all the drama of professional grading) I'm looking as a way to privately grade and pedigree comics with the ability to provide a semi permanent capsule which I can place a tamper seal on. Maybe this is a way forward to accomplish this. Thanks everyone for making this video.
Brother, thank you so much for your comment and feedback! I agree 100%. I’ve been in discussion with other UCG members (United Collectors Group…that you see on the bottom of my videos). We’re giving great consideration to alternatives. Between the 4 of our UCG members (me, J&J comics, Patriot Comics and Comics Catacomb, we have over 120 years of collecting experience, plus we all adhere to CGC grading specs.). We’ve been pondering a good alternative to the mainstream graders and are looking into ways to grade and create a tamper evident vessel. At an affordable price point. As always my friend, you are appreciated!
Great! ✨🤣💙
I’ll be posting this interview in the morning! I thought the owners at Comic Capsule were awesome! Hope you enjoy the video! Stay tuned my friend!
Thanks for sharing your trades. I love the community that you and your friends have created in your neck of the U.S!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate you watching and commenting on the content!
Great sharing! 💙
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate you!
I bought a huge 20+ long boxes full of Silver and Bronze Age collection back in the 1990s. I gave the person an Overstreet Annual Price Guide to grade and price himself. Paid a nickel each book with the good and the bad stuff!! Person just wanted it all gone. I still have many books from then. Passing it all down to my son. I recently just sold my Action Comics 9, Captain America Comics 23 and Mister Mystery 12 PCH.
Wow, that is amazing. I’ve heard things like that and am quite envious! Awesome story and I appreciate you sharing!
@@Johnthecomicguy I am selling a rare Detective Comics 12 currently to the same person :-)
That Spider-Man no. 1...is that the series that later published the Revenge of the Sinister Six story arc?
Good question, I honestly don’t know, but I suspect it is. This issue #1 is dated 1990, so if the sinister six story arc is in a Spider-Man comic, I’d have to believe it is in issues from this series. I do know the amazing Spider-Man title had several sinister six story arcs.
@Johnthecomicguy The series I'm referring to, was literally just called, "Spiderman", too. The arc I read had Dr. Octopus re-uniting the team of Mysterio, Electro, the Vulture, the Hobgoblin, and the Sandman, and Ock retrieving his Adamantium tentacles, and essentially going on a killing spree; hitting high-profile super-science targets and collecting high-tech weapons. The full arc ran for six issues.
@@vernondent1411sorry, I don’t know.
If you are on a budget, you shouldn't be wasting your money on comic collecting.
We’ll, I think budget is a loose term. If you can’t feed yourself or your family, or pay your mortgage, absolutely, I agree…however, if you are limiting your expenses so you don’t “overspend” or to make sure you have a balance in life to have funds to invest and vacation etc (I’d hope most of us are in this category), I think for entertainment purposes, we can think of creative ways to accommodate the spending balance of comics…but you are 1000% right…if people have to budget to eat or pay their mortgage, definitely please reconsider your spending choices lol. I hope most people who enjoy comics can afford hobby’s without sacrificing their family’s welfare.
Where’s this at?
It was at the Far Point Toys/comic shop in Mays Landing NJ.
I will say that I have been personally using Comic Capsules for 6 months and I absolutely love them! Everything you mentioned, for me, puts them head and shoulders above comparable products or even CGC slabs (when it comes to price and UV protection.) Also, I would mention for anybody that might be timid about sliding a high value silver age book in due to how snug the fit is, buckle up here, the backs come off! This allows you to place your book inside, rather than slide it. Then clip it back in place, perfect every time. My only issue with Comic Capsule is that they don't have golden age or magazine sizes...yet. Great review and great video, John!
Doug, thank you so much for the info! I had no idea the backs came off. It is great to know you are already using and really enjoy them! I was so impressed that they provide UV protection. If other vendors would use the same UV protected materials, we can all feel more confident displaying out books for longer periods. I should be doing a zoom with the execs at Comic Capsule next week some time, and will be bringing up the request for larger sizes. I agree. Magazine and golden age alternatives would be amazing. Those were already on my ask list lol. Thanks again brother! Your comments are very much appreciated!
Subscribed! I'm also a comic fan from NJ. I want to get a couple of these to try out but I'm waiting for them to go on sale
Great to meet you! Where about sin NJ are you? I’m near Atlantic City.
Love the review, John! Thank you so much for taking the time to do a fair and thorough comparison 💪 appreciate all feedbacks
Thank YOU and your team so much for creating such a fabulous product! Very much appreciated!
Loved the video... love all your comic content. Was kinda disappointed about the tie tho :)
Thanks so much for the feedback brother! I’d say..point by point, Comic Capsule wins. If you count who won more points that weighed heavier to me…it was Comic Skins…so I thought, since it was so darn close, its a tie. But I’d really be interested in your thoughts on who won for the points that were more of a priority for you. Let me know
@@Johnthecomicguy honestly with your review... they both seem like very nice ways to display and secure comics. I would probably lean more towards the Comic Capsule as a wall display. The custom labels on the Comic Skins is very nice, but as someone who doesn't care about the grading as much, I think more benefits go to Comic Capsules.
@@HarperBombthanks buddy. Excellent feedback.
Great review John! It was nice to see your comparison between the two products. 👍👍
Thank you so much Matt!
Great review! Very thorough and helpful. I'm leaning towards the comic capsule for some of my favorite books. Still have to think about those labels though to see how I want to handle that. Nice solution you came up with but not sure I want to seal off the top. I'll have to chew on that for a bit.
Thanks so much for your comment my friend and I totally understand. I actually get a little overly cautious when using A4 sticker paper. If you forgive the obvious pun, A4 is so darn sticky…I feel I have very little control. I use a lot and am relatively confident using it, but on the new Comic Capsule surface…I was overly cautious, and as you can see…because the flip-up part is actually not meant to get a sticker on it…once I “affixed” the sticker, the result was not totally smooth. It looks good, just not perfect. That’s another reason I gave the point for Labels to Comic Skins. But no doubt…both options are really spectacular. If you end out trying 1 or two of each, you’ll see both offer advantages…both solutions are really excellent for collectors.
Great review John. You’re very fair and thorough. I’m new into collecting comics and have been trying to figure out a way to hang them. Problem solved!
Thanks so much for your feedback my friend! So glad you can now hang your prized comics with EASE!
I just got some comic capsules as well! 😃
Nice- curious what you think also brother. I made a very cool custom label for them as well. I’ll drop the video on Friday.
You’ve got yourself a follower!!!!!🤜🤛
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you!
❤
The Jets! “Crush on You”? Good tune!
Yes sir! Agreed my friend!
Sugar Walls is a Prince-penned tune
I totally forgot! Thanks for mentioning that!
cool content John! I just started my collector youtube account and I just posted a youtube of my childhood collection i found while at my parents.. unfortunately a lot of them arent in the best condition :(
I understand my friend. I actually don’t have many of my original books. I think it is so cool you found your collection! That is awesome!
🤩Best of luck!!
It depends on what age the comic is from. I dont mind Brave and the Bold vol 1 issues being low to mid grades, but I wouldn't want those same grades for modern books.
You are Spot on! I agree. What I can live with for older books in terms of grade, is not what I would keep for a Modern book. Excellent point!
There were newsstands in book stores and grocery stores
Gotcha- thanks so much for the info- I got to tell you, if I remember correctly the bookstores I remember had Trade Paperbacks but I just don’t remember actual comics and grocery stores by me only carried (and still carry) women’s magazines. I would have loved to peruse comics if I ever went food shopping lol
A lot of collectors have that type of memory- comes with age. 😂
You are so right! My memory is definitely under attack lately lol- thank you so much for watching! Very much appreciate you my friend!
Thank you so much for all the kind words Brother! It was my pleasure to come dig through the collection. I had so much fun! It was a pretty awesome haul!
It was so much fun bro! I hope we can do that again soon! What really makes the hobby fun!
I used to own 90% of the comics you've shown, before I lost my collection. Thor #301 revealed Thor's birth mother is Gaia, the earth goddess, which is why Thor is so attached to earth. It also tells the Eternal - Celestial Saga, and why earth survives Arishem's judgement. It has Thor fighting the Gods of other Panteons
Man- another great haul!! You are killing it this year. Great video
Thanks buddy! 2024 has definitely been an amazing acquisition year so far!
Matt is very good at seeking gems! I always enjoy his videos. So cool he helped you out going through the collection!
Absolutely- Matt and I are buddies and hanging with him and looking through comics- just such a fantastic time
