I've been collecting comics forever and I can truly say that the spec market has destroyed the industry. I just collect what I like. Always have. People are crazy on fomo.
These channels aren't helping much either because too many people think they are experts, it is CGC bias despite their poor track record and other grading companies.
@Boxingbear I've honestly enjoyed watching Mike from comic book corner. He is genuinely into comics and enjoys them. He doesn't talk about spec or anything
@@SlayerHobbs This channel is a useful warning system for what not to buy lol, at least not while the book is on the list. Write it down and see what it is 6 months from now.
I think everyone needs to take a chill pill! if you're a "true collector", then you know this channel is strictly for info on the "HOT RIGHT NOW", "Flash in the pan" and "movie hype" comics! Which is totally fine and enjoyable to watch... why else would we all be here??? Tom is a pretty well informed and a camera friendly guy who keeps in pushin'! His banter with GAGuru, FireGuyRyan and Jeff keeps it entertaining. I have been collecting and selling comics since the early 80's. I know my stuff! however, I find I ALWAYS learn a little something new when watching the videos. I am not a new comic buyer, but like to stay on top of what's hot and trending... Guess what? THIS IS THE PLACE for that!!! so, we all know there is a lot of hype around these parts, if not into that sort of thing, it is simple... MOVE ON! Thank you Tom and Crew. As Arnie once said, "I'LL BE BAAAAACK"! Happy Collecting!
I would bet on Denzel playing Achebe. The villain from the 90s Christopher Priest run, that also gave us Okoye, Nakia, Everett K Ross, Zuri etc. That run and the 2005 Reginald Hudlin run (which introduced Shuri) are at the core of the MCU Black Panther.
@@donsantos8798 i disagree, its driven cuz its a sexy ash cover art...who doesnt want a big tiddy bride of frankenstein? i was gunna go buy one but the price is waaaay too high rn.
Wow. Good time to buy FF52. Achebe would be a great villain for BP3 if that's who he is playing. Would love to see him as Bashenga. Can't see him as King Cadaver, Baron Macabre or Lord Karnaj anyway 😂
Definitely want to see more of the ' what if' series!! But it seems like the creators should barrow,if not replicate the exact, specific stories to video! Because the last season seemed to be easily running out of steam because it had become it's own thing!😂❤
Oh, oh... 🖐oh, I know... I know where Spider-Girl will end up. In the same place with... Red Goblin, Batman Who Laughs, Robin King, Punchline, Miracle Molly, Black Widow Venom, Silencer, Damage, Voyager, Challenger, Leone, Jokers Daughter, Perpetua, Panther-Pool, RJ, Crimson Witch, The Rumor, The Jengu, Boy-Thing, Zoloz, Major X, Burnback, Black Goblin, Hollow, Ove, Rebecca Green, Lauri-Ell, Virus, Sunny, Gold Lantern, Monster Boy... Yellow Hulk, Clown Hunter... 😰 Need I go on? Because there's more... literally hundreds more from just the past few years alone.
I've bought traded and sold comics for a long time. Paying so much for a variant before it comes out or just some of the newest books because they supposedly sold out is stupid.
Captain America #230 the cover is amazing! I found 2 of these and paid like $5 apiece for each of them sooo I feel the same way you guys do it's not a long term investment I wouldn't pay more than $5.00 for it.
#1: Captain America #230. What makes this book any different than any other graded book. Sure nothing happens in it but even if something happens in a book once it's graded it won't matter because you can't look through the book. Proving grading is the biggest scam in comic book collecting history. The only benefit of grading is protecting rare comics with great cover art, and the grade isn't even important other than for bragging rights. And the cost should be the same across the board for all books.
If he is a villain, Denzel will be Achebe or maybe Tetu. Haha, guys, you didn't do much research for this video did you?? A process of elimination means Killmonger is out, and Klaw is out. There are not that many Black Panther villains to use, but you should have some suggestions rather than just "dollar bin book"
I picked up the fantastic four #195 error copy and the spider-man #11 1:100 peach momoko, incredible Hulk 197,198,200,228,229,232,234,250,251,252,253,254,255,256 and the xman #6 error comic for a steal
What If ? Was always a quirky, offbeat title that ppl enjoyed. It was also a chance to get another look at THE WATCHER -who was, in the early years, a somewhat mysterious figure in the Marvel Universe. What If ? Spidey's Clone had Lived ? and What If The Sub Mariner Had Saved Atlantis From Its Destiny ? Are two of my favorites. Looking for a Black Panther baddie who is obscure but cool ? Lets see THE SOUL STRANGLER !! LOL Im sure it wont happen though. Too much KKK ..
Star Wars needs to stop being woke take a 10 - 20 year break. Rewrite the story and have a new direction staying in continuity with a cohesive storyline. Only way to fix the franchise. Disney figured out how to kill a franchise. Now they need to figure out how to save one.
The Spec market is definitely killing collecting. Ive collected for over 40 years but i got out over the spec and these variant art covers. People care more about a stupid spec over the story. Plus Tom kept going on and on about Dazzler in the Deadpool movie. People bought all the Dazxler early stuff and wasted their money. How much did Tom make off the Spec? So i have quit collecting. Its no longer fun. Its just a money grab for people like Tom.

Glad to see Mark Spears Monsters performing well. It's still wild to me that so many publishers passed on this series.
Is driven by speculators for the most part.
@donsantos8798 this cover yes. But, I was talking about the whole series.
@@donsantos8798 i disagree, its driven cuz its a sexy ash cover art...who doesnt want a big tiddy bride of frankenstein? i was gunna go buy one but the price is waaaay too high rn.

The last ronin needs to be at least a 2 part movie

NGL, that bride of frankenstein cover does things to me.
Toms got his cat lol!!! Dude whats the cats name? Mark spears monsters deserves the spot!!

Nobody wants Rey PALPATINE
Ill watch it
100%
shes the worst written character in the history of movies...she has zero trials and tribulations and is given the keys to the SW universe.
I've bought traded and sold comics for a long time. Paying so much for a variant before it comes out or just some of the newest books because they supposedly sold out is stupid.
I have more than half the comics on this week’s list. I bought a Cap 230 for 35 cents back in the day. I’m roughly as old as Comic Pops.
lol. Just got an ad for something called Ninja Thirsti after these guys finished talking about Last Ronin.
Love the cover of Cap #230 bought a raw 9.4-9.6 few years ago for a steal in an auction
appreciate you two! thanks as always for your hard work
Thanks for a great video list of this weeks books; appreciate it and the insight
We want Fire 🔥 Guy Ryan too return…. !! He is outta control and hilarious
Our third camera is on the fritz! I'll be MIA til it gets fixed 😅
@@fireguyryan9362 oh noooo...
@ : Tell Tom to Pony up and upgrade this 3rd Camera 📷 .. FGR is people’s choice
Captain America 230 has a Whitman Variant that is a 1 in 10 ratio.
We just want High Republic and Doctor Aphra!
spider-boy: no thanks
Black panther baby and black panther mite, also. All issues with 10 variant covers. Cant wait.
Captain America #230 the cover is amazing! I found 2 of these and paid like $5 apiece for each of them sooo I feel the same way you guys do it's not a long term investment I wouldn't pay more than $5.00 for it.
Disney owns marvel , I didn't realize that... I've got to make some decisions... bummer
lol… wut???
Been on this planet long?

I really enjoy this list. Great work Key Collector, Russ, and of course, Tom.
Cap 230 is part of a great run. May I recommend Essential Capt. America, vols. 4&5? Cheaper and in glorious b&w.
CAP # 230 is not a key, just a classic cover. All Cap fans have this one.
If he is a villain, Denzel will be Achebe or maybe Tetu. Haha, guys, you didn't do much research for this video did you?? A process of elimination means Killmonger is out, and Klaw is out. There are not that many Black Panther villains to use, but you should have some suggestions rather than just "dollar bin book"
Don't get ripped off..... like a bandaid!
Your average raw on what of #1 is way off. I see 30-70ish on ebay under sold completed
Wow I have cap 230 in a 9.8 maybe I should sell it lol
Denzel will be Cottonmouth
Denzel will more likely be an ancestor and prior Black Panther that shows up for a pep talk
#9 on the list just proves how much of $$$ influence speculation has on comics.
How’d the director get fired?? Is the movie not done?
Disney sucks, denz rocks I hope they pay him a fortune
Agreed on the cap book. Don't buy it. It's not even the right hulk.
Denzel Washington as the prowler cuz of Miles Morales Spider-Man that's coming out soon
I picked up the fantastic four #195 error copy and the spider-man #11 1:100 peach momoko, incredible Hulk 197,198,200,228,229,232,234,250,251,252,253,254,255,256 and the xman #6 error comic for a steal
DONT BUY ANY OF THESE COMIC BOOKS 🙄

Looking for a Black Panther baddie who is obscure but cool ? Lets see THE SOUL STRANGLER !! LOL
Im sure it wont happen though. Too much KKK ..
Thank you
ALL THESE BOOKS ARE TRASH
Tom's a Trekkie!!! His cool metric just went up in my book!🖖🏽🤓
Waiting for spider-baby and spider mite.
subscribe, like and comment the video
Any movie with Harrison ford is complete dog water these days.
Why did they get rid of Steve Rogers from the MCU? They could have used him so much more
Wakanda forever tanked that book
Daredevils villain crossbones
Tood is a grifter, talented artist, but a grifter.
FLERK!!!
I swear this has gotten so bad I just speed past the crap an stop at what book is in what spot. Y'all are sinking
Star Wars needs to stop being woke take a 10 - 20 year break. Rewrite the story and have a new direction staying in continuity with a cohesive storyline. Only way to fix the franchise.
Disney figured out how to kill a franchise. Now they need to figure out how to save one.
So what woke thing are you whining about now?
