50 years old, owned 4000 comic books and divorced 2 times. own about 30 now. i have never owned a slab or anything thing else. just enjoyed comics. have not see anything in 20 years to collect, but i did find other hobbies. i still keep looking.
I don't read tons of comics but frankly I love your channel because you have a great sense of humor and can admit when you are wrong. I also think you have a real sense of authenticity when it comes to the collecting journey.
I grew up reading silver-age comics. You must remember that the material had to adhere to the Comics Code Authority at the time. (Even though some weird things occasionally occurred.) They were indeed written for children. I do not relate to modern comic books. I do not enjoy reading them. Comics are like music; we mostly appreciate what we grew up with. The opinions on his topic would make an excellent discussion among comic book fans. IMO
I loved reading comics in middle school but took a break for years. Now I’m buying and reading them again due to the new Ultimate Spider-Man series sparking my interest to get back into it.
Collect your way is 💯honest fact. Not every story is for every person. That's part of the journey, finding what you're interests are. RUclips or social media in general is a different beast and finding that audience is a different journey all together. Sometimes it might not have anything to do collecting or the books, just the communication. Cheers to you sir. Keep on trucking.
l definitely agree wit you Goose, I buy my 80s-90s X-Men Spider-Man issues, Even though I would love to own a hulk 181, I don't have the luxury to drop that kind of money on a book. I. Do feel like there is pressure from the rest of the comic book community to go after these kinds of books or " you arent a real collecter" or " your collection sucks". It is just impossible for me to drop that type of dough. Give me my super cheap x men age of apocalypse issues and I'll be happy
I love things that show age and use. Tools, clothes, cars, comics, etc… I don’t mind a beat up cover, in fact I prefer it. It has been enjoyed by someone, it has traveled, there is no “perfection” pressure. If the staples are good, I’m good. I liked this video.
It's all about understanding why you want to collect. In the beginning, I started collected one or two series I liked reading and the occasional key issues. Now, I just collect for cover art.
Great video! Another point of view is that some people flip to be cool and liked! I am a collector I have only sold ONE comic book. So I buy and keep them forever or donate what I do not want to Goodwill.
Never cared what the majority thought. Never bought the hot books, well once but I had also been buying this title since 1974. I am a Superman reader and collector. “Wrong character with the wrong company to be popular” and I have never been happier.
I only own 1 slab Action Comics 1057 because the writer used me and my families names on the book as an incredible gesture. He also brought back my “character and my son in the Action 2023 annual and I will eventually have that in a slab as well. But strictly for Sentimental value.
Collecting anything is crazy really when you think about it. But I do love my comics and I get a lot of fun from the hobby. I don’t flip or slab or sell, I just buy and read what I enjoy.
I can definitely relate to not being able to get into silver age comics. Reading early X-Men, Spider-Man and FF comics for me is extremely painful because of the exposition and constriction to 6 panels on every page, it’s a real slog. I also didn’t grow up with that stuff so maybe that’s why I gravitate toward modern and ultra-modern titles such as SIKTC and TNHOTL.
I’m 36 and have been reading comics the past 21 years of my life. I’ve always been very fond of superheroes as I watched the cartoons, older movies, and had several of the toys. I basically liked Batman, X-Men, & Spider-Man as a child. However I did not get into actually reading comics until around 2003ish. I’m the middle child and like many younger brothers I often copied my older brother and it’s because of him that I started to actually read some comics that he would get. When it came to actually reading comics I got deeply invested in DC as I noticed that at that time anytime a list of the Top 100 comic book stories of all time would get published by critics and professional websites that DC would dominate. It also helped that at this same time I joined a comic book forum and became very active. So I essentially started to check out a good deal of said DC top stories and then read majority of Batman’s stories and as I got more curious and more proud of being knowledgeable about DC’s legacy and continuity I would branch out and try more unique and less popular books. I was astonished by how much I had grown to love the DCU as a whole. Then I started to check out Vertigo and other publishers and such and went from there. There’s never a certain way to do it. Each person’s journey is different. Kinda odd and sad how you interpreted the fandom and hobby, but it led you to where you’re at now with the hobby so hopefully you can enjoy it more now.
Hey man, I'm ~30 and appreciate you repping the copper-modern 🙌 I feel the same way about old man books! Hopefully this helps out a new collector or even RUclipsr that finds themselves in the same position, maybe even save em some money 🙌 I've had fun chasing keys but it's stuff I genuinely like, first carnage, first cosmic carnage, first Cletus, first Knull, first Miles, first Harley, first Spider-Gwen etc More frequently than searching for keys I find myself looking for issues to complete stories I love. Trades and omnibus copies are cool and feel nice all collected, but flipping through floppies really does hit differently. Ok so, the Deadpool movie recently came out, I like Deadpool but I love Carnage- so I picked up the issue I was missing from Deadpool vs Carnage and grabbed the full Absolute Carnage vs Deadpool mini series... It's not spec, but it's still having fun off the hype, ya know?
I buy John Byrne, Alan Davis, Frank Miller Daredevil, Batman The Dark Knight Returns.. Todd McFarlane Hulk and Spider-Man….I just keep buying them….I buy what I love.
I started buying comics in ‘73. We had quick shops and drug stores back then. I remember buying my comics at Circle K and being a member of FOOM. It was a fun childhood, but just buy what you like. In ‘95 I starting getting the Hot Wheels I had as a kid. Like comic books I don’t buy because other people say it’s hot. I just buy the cars I like, my comic book tastes have changed over the years. I like Strangers in Paradise, I like the Sandman, I like Shade the Changing Man…I still have all my old books. I like buying Absolutes and Omninbuses. All I can say just have fun, stick to books that keep it exciting for you!
The heros we have today should not have any flaws cause of how old they are and experience from fighting multiple Enemies. Old heros with flaws what is this high school. I appreciate heros who progress with the readers as we age.
Gotta read what you enjoy dont worry about what its going to be worth if it happens to be woth something later then so be it my priority in collecting comics is being able to enjoy them. My favorite comic book run is The Punisher 1987 1-104 but everyone has their own favorites.
This was my fav video of yours for a long time, I feel we don’t see this side of you enough. I’m 50 this year, so I’m a collector of Bronze Age horror, that’s where my passion lies, both collecting and reading, but I also read a lot of independent books, Ed Brubaker being a particular favourite. I’d always advise to find what you like and stick with it, don’t listen to FOMO, it’s the worst side of comic collecting. It’s great to see you’ve found your niche, enjoy it! 👍
The 1976 Overstreet Price Guide wrecked my love for comic books as cool to read and enjoy. Comics became a commodity at age 13. I used to take my momma's big lunch bags and put a comic book in, fold the bag over and tape. I tried to not damage the comics so they went right into momma's bags. There were no bags and boards back then. I love the art and have rarely read comic books post 1976 except for binge reading my Conan collection from #1 to whatever if was at in the 1970s. I have binged read EC books over the last few years. Truly, I went almost 50 years between reading multiple comic books in a short period. In between I had 7 comic book retail locations, lost it all in the early 1990s glut era, to now doing comic slabbing. I focus on late Bronze, Copper. I know microscopically little about current comic books or even comic books post 1994. I've sent well over 1000 to CGC. CGC treats comic books as I like them, wall art!!!
I'm 52 years old and have always loved comics and the characters. I really didn't start collecting and buying comics till Image and Spawn came out. I still try to get the characters I love and collect their books and stories I enjoy. Collecting comics is a perspective of that person and what they collect. No one should try to collect what people say or try to influence you to buy them. It's your hobby not theirs. I know because my collection is mine not theirs so I collect what I want forget what others say you should be buying. This is my collection and I will get what I want not what they say I should want.
I like that you don’t take yourself too seriously. The haters, well, they tend to be narcissists that do take themselves too seriously. The guys that are dealers are ok but they often fall in the take themselves too seriously area bc it’s their job and not their hobby. You can see that they don’t love it. There is a place for them but I don’t take them too seriously even if they do.
I grew up buying only Marvel books. Back then my brother and I would buy Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and Hulk books, read them, then spend hours and hours tracing the art on typewriter paper. Goodtimes. I didn't get back into comics until I joined the Air Force. I was in tech school when Secret Wars was released on 1984. This was a massive hit in the dorms. Everyone, nerds and non-nerds, were reading the same worn out copies. It was not only fun, it made me realize comics weren't just for little kids. I don't buy or read any Marvel books today, even though it's technically what I grew up with. I prefer the DC universe today. That, and independants. I try not to buy floppies. I prefer omnibuses and deluxe editions.
Brother Goose, I absolutely love your perspective because it is the same as mine. I didn't get into the hobby until right before covid hit and I was inspired by the MCU interconnectivity. I grew up watching horror movies and that is where my nostalgia lies. Come to find out, a lot of comics trigger that nostalgia as they remind me of those days in the 80s and early 90s when I would rent videos and see comics on the spinner racks and what have you.
I love all aspects of the hobby from reading, collecting, buying selling. I can understand how you feel stressed about the selling aspect as you see it as a job. For me, I love looking at the books as I place them into the Gemini mailer. Love your videos man. Making me think
This sounds like a lot of comic RUclipsrs. Been outcasts most of their lives and get giddy when people are paying attention to them. In turn they buy a bunch of crap they don’t want/need in order to get praise and attention. Reminds me especially of one called the brave and the boys. Shows off massive hauls and revolves around click bait surface level stuff. Nothing in his videos shows love for the medium. Just a cry for attention
I have always bought and collected comics for the escapism! Value I never thought of until the you tube age, but thinking and doing are two different things, I couldn't care less about the value! I will be dead in 10 maybe 20 years so it won't matter! Love what you like, like what you love! Nuff said!
I got two slabs, got them signed and pre-slabbed from a shop that was doing them that way. Only got them for the cover and signature. They will stay in my collection
Mr. Sticky Goose I agreed with many of your points and have experienced many of the same things myself. I will say that although I don't like the older stories much these days just like you I do appreciate them. When I was in elementary school I was fortunate to find some Marvel hardcover books that gave the origin story and a few other important early stories (as well as some text and descriptions) in the school library. I read the origins of Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four as well as some of their early encounters and you're right - those stories were perfect for kids like me at the time. I feel like because of this experience I got to mature as the comic stories "matured" (i.e. with stuff like The Boys in more recent times) and have "outgrown" those older stories. Even stories from the 90s can be hard to read sometimes.
You've got a successful channel now, and a collection with some great books, and a lot more knowledge than you had at the beginning. Some of your viewers, and the other RUclipsrs, like you, and some don't, but that's life anyway, whether you're on YT or not.
I collect silver age because it reminds me of the best parts of my childhood . They’re still fun to flip through . About one or two percent of my books are slabs and I mainly bought those to use as grading guides. What makes the hobby enjoyable is how different we all look at it . There’s no right or wrong .
I’m 58 and I actually like the older stories more. I am not a fan of more recent books with the “multiverse” and “crossovers.” I got into comic books from watching Superhero shows on TV back in the 70’s as a kid, but I would get maybe 2 comics every 6 months. I never thought about specs until I started seeing people on You Tube. But, with that said, I buy comics just for the enjoyment, not to flip. There is no wrong way to collect. If your a re-seller, good for you. I only have 5 slabs and that’s because they were gifts that I really appreciate, but I just enjoy reading them.
You my friend are no different than anyone else. That said, you put your story out there for people to comment on. The internet is not a place for people who are susceptible to criticism & judgement especially of those who aren't helpful. Such as life. Be you! If you cant be you, ALWAYS be Batman!
Anyone who actually gives a shit about how someone else is collecting and if it differs from the way they collect is either a grifter or a man-child whose identity is too tied to the hobby. Both are generic and uninteresting to talk to. I'm so glad you're starting to figure out how to do it your way!
You Right I only collect 80s and 90s and modern They only silver I collect ghost Rider I don’t have interest for 80s and above only it’s amazing fantasy 15 😂😂😂
"Comics are for children," that is the point. As adults collecting we are collecting memories. The comic industry no longer catering to children is why it is in freefall.
Some comics have good stories, some comics have cool covers, some comics are worth a lot of money & some comics are spare toilet paper. It's fine to enjoy this hobby however you want & I don't think you have to follow a specific "code" to be considered "legitimate " or a "true" collector... But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
Once a person starts selling comics on a regular basis, their relationships to the hobby immediately changes. Watching your journey, it seems that becoming a RUclips content creator has a similar effect.
Yeah felt the same way and started collecting around the same time. I love Iron Man from the mcu but wow most of his comics are, in my opinion, terrible. X-men is another one (sacrilege I know)
Hmm…well it’s kinda hard to tell if you’re being genuine or just sarcastic at this point so I’ll just say …you do you man… that’s what hobbies are all about…any hobby. People on here just want to see your genuine self because if you’re not that then your channels not gonna last. Just ask gem mint
I think (not that it matters) spend too much time obsessing over who's more of a dealer/collector or collector. Read it or don't buy it or don't. Who cares.
Bruh woke up and realised that cave art and always winning mcguffin Batman is boring af, well more you know (-_-) This why it's so funny to watch beef among boomers that love 1940-1980 comics vs wokies that trying turn everything gay since 2014 Because sane people reading MANGA... Welp, i love times when i been reading comics 1990-2014, but then i come to realise that most of readers are hypocrites and want to see their heroes always winning, without any stakes, always saving damsel in distress, hell i hate MJ & Lois Lane... their characters purpose only to be saved by Spider-Man and Superman, and amount of good art and characters being forgotten only to boost sales for Batman - is real crime, Justice League? what a joke, it's just Batman and his pleb friends and Batfam.
Same talking points as most recent videos (lots of whining). You made a video to keep making money off your viewer's wasted time, bottom line. Also, no.
Yet you watched this video and obviously have watched other Sticky Goose videos. Just can't help yourself, can you?😉 By the way, I see from you channel that you have produced no video content and therefore add nothing to RUclips. So you are far below Sticky Goose when it comes to creation of videos.
73 years old, 4,000 comics collected, not one slab.
goated collection
50 years old, owned 4000 comic books and divorced 2 times. own about 30 now. i have never owned a slab or anything thing else. just enjoyed comics. have not see anything in 20 years to collect, but i did find other hobbies. i still keep looking.
whoever ends up with your collection is going to make alot of money once their slabbed
thank you only 65 here, but in same scenario,...
@@wizardingreen8642worth more than a slab 🤡
I don't read tons of comics but frankly I love your channel because you have a great sense of humor and can admit when you are wrong. I also think you have a real sense of authenticity when it comes to the collecting journey.
I grew up reading silver-age comics. You must remember that the material had to adhere to the Comics Code Authority at the time. (Even though some weird things occasionally occurred.) They were indeed written for children. I do not relate to modern comic books. I do not enjoy reading them. Comics are like music; we mostly appreciate what we grew up with.

I loved reading comics in middle school but took a break for years. Now I’m buying and reading them again due to the new Ultimate Spider-Man series sparking my interest to get back into it.
I collect just to sniff the pages
sticky goose has the likeability of a sticky goose
...depends on viscosity.
Lol this fits so well
@@joe47771 The more molasses and caramel you put on a goose the sticker it gets. I thought u might want to know that
Collect your way is 💯honest fact. Not every story is for every person. That's part of the journey, finding what you're interests are. RUclips or social media in general is a different beast and finding that audience is a different journey all together. Sometimes it might not have anything to do collecting or the books, just the communication. Cheers to you sir. Keep on trucking.
If your a collector always collect what you like you’ll never be disappointed….
l definitely agree wit you Goose, I buy my 80s-90s X-Men Spider-Man issues, Even though I would love to own a hulk 181, I don't have the luxury to drop that kind of money on a book. I.
Do feel like there is pressure from the rest of the comic book community to go after these kinds of books or " you arent a real collecter" or " your collection sucks". It is just impossible for me to drop that type of dough. Give me my super cheap x men age of apocalypse issues and I'll be happy
Batman Knightfall kicks so much ass!!
I love things that show age and use. Tools, clothes, cars, comics, etc… I don’t mind a beat up cover, in fact I prefer it. It has been enjoyed by someone, it has traveled, there is no “perfection” pressure. If the staples are good, I’m good. I liked this video.
Bravo Stickygoose! You honestly found your niche in collecting comic books you love & that's a terrific thing.
Talk to me Goose, Talk to me Goose. Top Gun Reference lol, but you are killing it with the content lately.
It's all about understanding why you want to collect. In the beginning, I started collected one or two series I liked reading and the occasional key issues. Now, I just collect for cover art.
How much did it cost you to learn what you like?
I’m gonna die with my comics
I have survived two collections. I refused to die with them.
I was overwhelmed as a kid trying to start reading comics…. The trick I used was stick with the “S’s”. Superman. Spider-Man and Spawn.
I'm 50. Bronze my favorite. What I grew up with and the art style I love the most. Very insightful and honest video. Thanks
Keep doing you Sticky! The removed video was my fav.#Mothergoose2024

Even stories from the 90s can be hard to read sometimes.
You've got a successful channel now, and a collection with some great books, and a lot more knowledge than you had at the beginning. Some of your viewers, and the other RUclipsrs, like you, and some don't, but that's life anyway, whether you're on YT or not.
Enjoyed a comic topic video and appreciate the honesty. Seems like you're on a natural progression thru being a comic collector. Enjoy the ride
There has to be an old photo somewhere of Sticky Goose wearing Jnco's.
I collect silver age because it reminds me of the best parts of my childhood . They’re still fun to flip through . About one or two percent of my books are slabs and I mainly bought those to use as grading guides. What makes the hobby enjoyable is how different we all look at it . There’s no right or wrong .
gimme your old batman
I’m 58 and I actually like the older stories more. I am not a fan of more recent books with the “multiverse” and “crossovers.” I got into comic books from watching Superhero shows on TV back in the 70’s as a kid, but I would get maybe 2 comics every 6 months. I never thought about specs until I started seeing people on You Tube. But, with that said, I buy comics just for the enjoyment, not to flip. There is no wrong way to collect. If your a re-seller, good for you. I only have 5 slabs and that’s because they were gifts that I really appreciate, but I just enjoy reading them.
I feel the same exact way for damn near all of this
Got a big love for the 25 cent books
Marketer vs Collector. You choose. Comics for profit or comics for enjoyment.
Or sell some comics i bought at a good price so other ones i want i get them for free
You my friend are no different than anyone else. That said, you put your story out there for people to comment on. The internet is not a place for people who are susceptible to criticism & judgement especially of those who aren't helpful. Such as life. Be you! If you cant be you, ALWAYS be Batman!
*Such is life. Se la vie.
Always buy what you like…
What if I like mega grails FF1 X-men 1 Batman 1 action comics 1, AF15 and hulk 1 ??😢😢
@@MetalBum shut up please
@@charless.msettle down keyboard warrior lets be respectful
@@MarcSpectorComics thanks Marc. 👍. I was messing around didn’t think I’d be told off today
Anyone who actually gives a shit about how someone else is collecting and if it differs from the way they collect is either a grifter or a man-child whose identity is too tied to the hobby. Both are generic and uninteresting to talk to. I'm so glad you're starting to figure out how to do it your way!
Great content. Never miss. Never clickbait.
its all subjective. i myself collect and read stuff mainly from the late 80 through what people would call crap from the 90s. lots of liefeld stuff.
Totally agree
"You shouldn't like things because people tell you you're supposed to"... Jonathan Byers, Stranger Things, Season 1.
You Right I only collect 80s and 90s and modern They only silver I collect ghost Rider I don’t have interest for 80s and above
only it’s amazing fantasy 15 😂😂😂
"Comics are for children," that is the point. As adults collecting we are collecting memories. The comic industry no longer catering to children is why it is in freefall.
Some comics have good stories, some comics have cool covers, some comics are worth a lot of money & some comics are spare toilet paper. It's fine to enjoy this hobby however you want & I don't think you have to follow a specific "code" to be considered "legitimate " or a "true" collector... But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
Nah, most copper age collectors like me were teenagers in the 80's so that's what we collect.
I LOVE LAMP
Sincerity sells
Once a person starts selling comics on a regular basis, their relationships to the hobby immediately changes. Watching your journey, it seems that becoming a RUclips content creator has a similar effect.
goat o honestly
W sticky goose
Then found gold key land of giants tv series and Avengers, captain America, ASM and Batman silver age.
😂😂
cgc stuff is tanking. go for raw copies you like either as a cover, to read or complete a run
I like you Goose, I really like you.
Collect what you love
Yeah felt the same way and started collecting around the same time. I love Iron Man from the mcu but wow most of his comics are, in my opinion, terrible. X-men is another one (sacrilege I know)
FOMO is real
Do you think FF comics will ever get hot. I have enough of them.
Maybe you should just try giving them money😊
comics red pilled.
Hmm…well it’s kinda hard to tell if you’re being genuine or just sarcastic at this point so I’ll just say …you do you man… that’s what hobbies are all about…any hobby. People on here just want to see your genuine self because if you’re not that then your channels not gonna last. Just ask gem mint
I think (not that it matters) spend too much time obsessing over who's more of a dealer/collector or collector. Read it or don't buy it or don't. Who cares.
Nice try slipping the 20’s in “people my age”.
Spec 🔑 please? Preferably slabbed…. Just kidding 😉
I like you buddy
SG I love you to death. But man that was boring. I had to bail early. Sorry man. Jess
Noted… need more drama
@@Stickygoose I know I know I am one of those that like the drama. I am a you tube cliche
I have always collected what I liked and loved and I haven’t got a spidey. 129. The most overrated comic. Ever
Bruh woke up and realised that cave art and always winning mcguffin Batman is boring af, well more you know (-_-)
This why it's so funny to watch beef among boomers that love 1940-1980 comics vs wokies that trying turn everything gay since 2014
Because sane people reading MANGA...
Welp, i love times when i been reading comics 1990-2014, but then i come to realise that most of readers are hypocrites and want to see their heroes always winning, without any stakes, always saving damsel in distress, hell i hate MJ & Lois Lane... their characters purpose only to be saved by Spider-Man and Superman, and amount of good art and characters being forgotten only to boost sales for Batman - is real crime, Justice League? what a joke, it's just Batman and his pleb friends and Batfam.
Same talking points as most recent videos (lots of whining). You made a video to keep making money off your viewer's wasted time, bottom line.
Also, no.
You are by far the worst comics content "creator" in the game.
Have you seen other channels? I disagree
Yet you watched this video and obviously have watched other Sticky Goose videos. Just can't help yourself, can you?😉 By the way, I see from you channel that you have produced no video content and therefore add nothing to RUclips. So you are far below Sticky Goose when it comes to creation of videos.
