Really liked the video and info on your wild hunts!! My best find so far is Silver Surfer #3 last summer at a antique shop for...$2.00!!! I couldn't pay quick enough and get the hell outta there!
Fantastic video Gary! I’ve been following you for awhile and you make awesome contributions to this community via videos, live-streams and sales. Good work man!
I have a similar story with an FF 5. A little over a year ago I had a CGC 6.0 copy with off-white to white pages. I bought it for a little over two grand and flipped if for a quick profit of $3200. Now that book a year later is worth 10K. I'm kicking myself.
Your total cost of buying the raw wild books and getting them graded compared to the current CGC price...only thing missing from this video. Nice video.
wow , only been a subscriber a couple months, going thru alot of your older videos, 15 months later all these prices have tripled! mind blown, i'd tell you the story about my Xmen #4 I sold raw about 2 years ago (mid grade ) but if i actually typed the words id throw myself out a window, thanks for the great content.
Another great video man, love this channel. I really want to start getting out and searching for more Golden and Silver age comics. There's so many I would love to just have in my collection.
Dude it must be so exciting flipping through hundreds of books in a collection and finding one of these top 10. I can picture myself losing it if I was to find a Hulk 181.
Hello Gary. All nice books, and I am jealous. Congrats. You should give a class or tutorial on cleaning and pressing on RUclips. I would like to learn on how to do that. What do you think? Stay safe.
OMG im just watching this video now. Cant believe how cheap these books were a year ago compared to now. Maybe in another year they will go back down there.
I understand selling to keep the hobby/business growing, but dang it has to be hard to move off of some of those...personally the Giant Sized XMen...sigh...
U know I've said wild for awhile but never thought about where I heard it first I'd imagine it's a fairly new term we use either way nice avengers 4 Garry
Whaou, what a fantastic top 10. You'll excuse my english, i'm french. I discovered your chanel recently and i subscribed right away. Amazing chanel and videos. Keep going like that.
How much are you spending in a collection that can yield finds like this? Do these people always know what they have... How can a typical scenario/ transaction go??
Found fantastic four 48 got it for 100 but when I got it home I realized someone wrote 125 on cover, amazing Spider-Man 300 in wild think I payed for it 15 to 25 for it little over 22 years ago in Ohio problem with cards and comics worth this much you need find buyer sell them to they are worthless if you can’t find someone buy them if you plan sell them later on in years
What would have been the value of the book in 6.0 Restored? Versus the 5.5 blue label? I would think that the higher grade is always better. Is there somewhere I can find the S.O.P.'s on how they decide grading?
I like seeing videos like this but if you could tell us the price you got the books for would be better...You could of bought the ASM #129 for $800...it would be cool to find out what awesome deal you got.
@@VeryGaryComics omg that's awesome! I thought I found fantastic four 67 yesterday in PA at a shop bargain box. Quickly realized it was just marvel comics group #50. Joy turned to disappointment quick.
I don't collect video games but I wouldn't mind having a zelda for nes graded. This isn't my full time job. I just do it for fun and to support my hobby.
I don't believe so. Right on CGC's website just scroll down and that's where you can put in a serial number. After you enter it the next page will tell you all about the book and give you the option to purchase the graders notes.
@@VeryGaryComics Sweet. Ok here is a follow up question and possibly a video idea, but what are pressable defects? like a list of things that for sure can be pressed if Im either A) looking at the comic at a con floor, or B) purchase the grader's notes.
Do you think moving some of those books was a good move in hindsight, or do you wish you would have held on to some of them?. In other words do you have any regrets or moves you would have done differently knowing what you know now?
I found my wife in the wild 24 years ago.
Mine was dancing on tables (not really)
Nice...
I found one there to, for real married a striper 8 years younger than me, mother of my first two children.
Anymore of her shit ill be returning mine to the wild
So did I
Gary is an absolute beast! To find books like that out there is just amazing!

Thank you so much
Wow! Good call with the restoration removal! What an awesome top 10!
Great video! This would be a cool yearly video, able to see all the great finds

ManFromBeantown 3200 can’t be bad tho
I would say hold onto something for 5 or 10years if it is an investment.
You just said it was a quick flip so no reason to complain
Sweet list. Thanks for the video during these times. Stay healthy and safe.
Same to you
I wouldnt care if #181 had tge marvel value stamp or not, i just want the book on my wall and then buried with it.
You kill me with these videos! Love 'em and super jealous!
Love hunting and I’m happy you do too! Really makes me like your channel. Nice finds 181s X-men and ASM 1 are freaking awesome.
I have a low grade avengers that I should have CCS do restoration removal. Awesome video.
Thank you
How do you come across these collections and do they cost thousands of dollars considering what you were able to pull out of them? Awesome video bro!!
Absolutely amazing finds 👍 thanks for sharing and stay safe Gary...Cheers ✌️
This was one of my favorite videos you have done
I would love to be as good as you with finding and buying collections! Amazing books!
Awesome. I thought it was going to be Alfred! Great list!
New watcher.....loving the videos and all the PJ merch ✌️🤘
Your total cost of buying the raw wild books and getting them graded compared to the current CGC price...only thing missing from this video. Nice video.
Great vid!
Every one of those books are insane. Great video
Thank you
Great video man! You have some amazing finding skills
Thank you
Woah dude! Nice finds! Never bought a collection before, but I hope I hit one of these jackpots when I do!
WOW 🤩 Those are some awesome finds
Wow what an awesome wild find!!! My X-Men #1 was in fine condition, and I paid 500$ for it 30 years ago, it was my pride and joy at the time.
Gary, you have always good content.
Great list Gary!
Holy shit dude, I know you must put in a lot of work, but damn I'm jealous
wow , only been a subscriber a couple months, going thru alot of your older videos, 15 months later all these prices have tripled! mind blown, i'd tell you the story about my Xmen #4 I sold raw about 2 years ago (mid grade ) but if i actually typed the words id throw myself out a window, thanks for the great content.
Love it Gary, great Vid!
Great Haul liked and subbed!
Didnt know you could restore a restoration. Also didnt know doom was worth more than claws and balls. Stellar

Dude it must be so exciting flipping through hundreds of books in a collection and finding one of these top 10. I can picture myself losing it if I was to find a Hulk 181.
Man i would have loved to find ANY of these in the wild!!!
Big game hunter🤛🤛🤛.
Amazing. Green with rage, I mean envy. Wish I could find some nice collections around my area.
I have to get better at finding things in the wild. All I find is Ultraforce, Justice Machine, and 90's Image comics.
Same here...
Try flea markets if you have any around you
@@dragonball3166 All I found was Mexicans selling clothes. :(
Hello Gary. All nice books, and I am jealous. Congrats. You should give a class or tutorial on cleaning and pressing on RUclips. I would like to learn on how to do that. What do you think? Stay safe.
One of my best finds was a Avengers #11 from a collection I find in my area.
Dope finds brother
oh man that is nice :)) need your luck find any in wild :))
OMG im just watching this video now. Cant believe how cheap these books were a year ago compared to now. Maybe in another year they will go back down there.
What do you think of The Maxx?
I've only ever seen the cover art of some, looks cool thou.
Crazy finds.
ASM 55 in at least a 9.0 has to be my coolest find in the wild, love Doc Ock and such a cool cover.
What a list!
✌ WoW I WANT TO BE LIKE GARY✌LOL OUTSTANDING and Congrats, another GREAT VIDEO. ✌
Could you do a video on comic-book prices with the recession happening and how we should approach on prices and buying?
That would be a tough one since we're still early in this mess. I do think everything will bounce back but it's a good negotiation tactic.
Curious to learn how you find collections. Do you advertise? Any pointers?
There’s your 1000th thumbs up Gary 👍
That was nice fun video.
Would have been good to know what you bought them for and what you sold them for as well.
I honestly don't even remember what I paid for some of them.
I understand selling to keep the hobby/business growing, but dang it has to be hard to move off of some of those...personally the Giant Sized XMen...sigh...
If does get very difficult at times
Great list!
Nice finds!
I am new to your channel, I am really enjoying the content. Keep up the great work Gary.
What are your Top 25 Finds in the Wild ???
I have no idea. 25 is alot.
I got giant size x-men #1 the repaint one.
U know I've said wild for awhile but never thought about where I heard it first I'd imagine it's a fairly new term we use either way nice avengers 4 Garry
I just got a werewolf by night 32 high mid grade with mark jewlers variant for just $4!!!!😱😱
Congrats!! Great find
Wow! Amazing books! hope I can get one of them one day!:D Great video!
Did you ever drop one from a 100yards out? :D
Whaou, what a fantastic top 10. You'll excuse my english, i'm french. I discovered your chanel recently and i subscribed right away. Amazing chanel and videos. Keep going like that.
How do you clean and press a book? I've heard the terms before but I don't know what it means.
There are several different processes.
Great video!
Wow have these prices changed. You should do an update video
If GSX 1 is the 3rd best bronze age book what're 1 and 2? I'd think Hulk 181 is 4th.
Hulk 181 is probably the best. Then gsx. Then asm 129. Then wwbn 32 and tod 10 and ms 5
Great informative video dude! I enjoyed it.
2:30 "the page quality doesn't affect the grade". Incorrect, especially when you get to light tan - tan - slightly brittle - brittle
Awesomeness
you found golden age key batman a 7 with white pages. you can go ahead and go into a room with it by yourself. take your time. come out very happy.
I found the first appearance of Black Widow in a record shop for £5 - maybe $8-9. That was my best.
That's an amazing find. Congrats.
That batman you can get 7k now
thanks gary! awesome vid. cool ass batman too!
nice gary
When you say found in the wild you mean found in long boxes or in collector cases?
How much are you spending in a collection that can yield finds like this?
Do these people always know what they have... How can a typical scenario/ transaction go??
Found fantastic four 48 got it for 100 but when I got it home I realized someone wrote 125 on cover, amazing Spider-Man 300 in wild think I payed for it 15 to 25 for it little over 22 years ago in Ohio problem with cards and comics worth this much you need find buyer sell them to they are worthless if you can’t find someone buy them if you plan sell them later on in years
I wish I had the kind of notices he get for collections.
This was an awesome video👍🏼
Wow!!!!
Sweet
Amazing
Nice!!!
What would have been the value of the book in 6.0 Restored? Versus the 5.5 blue label? I would think that the higher grade is always better. Is there somewhere I can find the S.O.P.'s on how they decide grading?
Restored books usually cut the value in half. Especially if the restoration can't be removed. An example is "trimmed pages"
@@VeryGaryComics Thanks for the info. I guess you learn something new almost every day.
I like seeing videos like this but if you could tell us the price you got the books for would be better...You could of bought the ASM #129 for $800...it would be cool to find out what awesome deal you got.
I'll start doing that a little more in the future. This collection was tough since it was so massive.
Very Gary Comics I hear ya...👍🏻
Cool
Good video
Price you paid would've been killer!
I don't even remember at this point
Hey Gar, what's your best comic shop find? Could be a cool idea for a video
I found 5 copies of Ms. Marvel 1 for $1 each at a baseball card shop.
@@VeryGaryComics omg that's awesome! I thought I found fantastic four 67 yesterday in PA at a shop bargain box. Quickly realized it was just marvel comics group #50. Joy turned to disappointment quick.
New sub here! Do you collect video games too? Is this your main job? Buying/selling?
I don't collect video games but I wouldn't mind having a zelda for nes graded. This isn't my full time job. I just do it for fun and to support my hobby.
@@VeryGaryComics thats awsome. I just saw you had some video game systems so I didnt know if you mainly played or collected retro/modern games.
Amazingggggg brother!!!!
Do you have to have a specific membership to purchase grader's notes?
I don't believe so. Right on CGC's website just scroll down and that's where you can put in a serial number. After you enter it the next page will tell you all about the book and give you the option to purchase the graders notes.
@@VeryGaryComics Sweet. Ok here is a follow up question and possibly a video idea, but what are pressable defects? like a list of things that for sure can be pressed if Im either A) looking at the comic at a con floor, or B) purchase the grader's notes.
I have a Daredevil #17 PGX graded 9.0 RESTORED. It says minor color touch. If I took it out and sent it to CGC would they know it was restored?
Yes. Well. They're supposed too so I imagine they would find the color touch and give you a purple label.
You shouldve put how much you got em for and where?😉
I don't even remember most of them
Do you think moving some of those books was a good move in hindsight, or do you wish you would have held on to some of them?. In other words do you have any regrets or moves you would have done differently knowing what you know now?
No regrets. If I hadn't moved some of those books I wouldn't have been able to buy the others.
these comics have doubled or tripled in value since this video
So lucky
Killer Books, Gary.
What GPA service do you use?
Gpanalysis.com but I maybe transitioning to covrprice.com
