Gary not only shows us the fun stuff we want to see but also educates you along the way. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. If no one has told you today. Thank you, you are appreciated!
Great haul. The multiple keys, made it even sweeter. Great value even with the leg work and submission fees you’re gonna come out pretty good on this one. Not too mention the great content that will come out of them. Can’t wait to see these back from CGC
Real nice collection grab dude. I love seeing all the x-men books and the asm keys. Thank you for showing this get. Keep up the exciting content and I look forward to the future videos that will be coming from this collection.
Gary, I'm sure that many of of my fellow viewers know this already but I'm gonna point out some additional facts relevant to your very important statement, "the investment doesn't stop at the purchase of the collection" at 17:12. Here goes -- you are not only investing the $2,550 you handed over for the collection plus the costs of cleaning/pressing and grading/slabbing, all of which you mentioned. You also spent 7 hours of your time driving to acquire the collection, burned quite a bit of fuel for your vehicle and accrued some incremental wear-and-tear on it during the 500-mile trip. Once you're back at home, you have to make space for the new arrivals, unload your vehicle, sort and inventory the comics, do whatever initial vetting you need to do re: keep vs. sell and grade/slab vs. not, possibly re-bag some comics, and spend time making arrangements for cleaning/pressing and grading/slabbing, as well as spending time on sales efforts for the comics you don't plan to keep for your personal collection. Oh yeah -- the time you spent making this video kinda sorta factors into the total time investment as well. The hours add up. I think that many hobbyists and folks who sell their personal collections fail to appreciate the magnitude of the total time, money and effort investments that are involved in purchasing an entire collection when the buyer's plans include resale and the buyer is reluctant to lose money at the front end of the process (that is, by paying the owner a really generous price that'll seriously impact the buyer's ability to make money from the investment in the short term.) I assume, Gary, that you hope to at least break even for your efforts, and I wish you success.:)
@@VeryGaryComics Pretty sure that you could do better for a new best friend, but I'm happy to help. :) By the way, lest anyone think I'm a dealer or flipper looking to justify my place in the fandom food chain, I am actually a hardcore "comics are for reading" partisan, and hardly any of my estimated 2,000 "readers, reprints, bombs and beaters" are worth more than two or three bucks apiece. Buuuuuut, having said that, I also believe that financial speculation is good for the hobby, and I like to see people adhere to common sense and common courtesy in their business transactions. Seems simple enough.
Cool of a viewer to give you the first shot at the collection and very nice collection at that . You also have gas costs for the drive as well as night at a hotel and the time in driving but still worth it. I look forward to doing some collection buying and flipping myself.
Love these haul videos. Stoked for the stacked GPA’s once you get everything graded and added up too. That was one of my favorite parts of the ‘best collection of all time’ series. Keep it up sir!
What an awesome collections! And so cool to hear the story from the side of the seller (in the comments). When you said you were driving down to Virginia I thought "this has got to be a good collection". Glad I was right.
WOW! Even an old guy like me learned SO MUCH just watching you go through the X-Men boxes alone. Knowledge is power along with condition being everything!
Really cool to see you get ahold of the entire Claremont run through 267 and it sounds like you are interested in reading it. While not all keys, the Byrne issues 108,109, 111 through 143 are probably all collectable enough to send to CGC. Of the remaining run, the Paul Smith issues from 165 to 175 have really great covers and stories. Between 175 and 268, the covers on 210, 212 and 213 and the 256, 257 and 258 are the best.
Brilliant collection, great price and the condition of the comics are amazing. Shame i don't come across collections like these in the UK. Super excited. Stay safe now.
Regardless of the CGC costs, you got a great deal for all those comic book keys, multiple copies of quite a few of them too!! You will definitely make money on this collection!!
Wow that X-Men run is absolutely sick! What a great haul. The five Carnage and Venom first basically paid for the collection with how current market is going. Oh man unreal collection, nice grab!
hi gary great video some great books which I have most of them ,just got back my first submission from cgc I sent in 16 books in nothing major ,just trying the water every think went smoothly learned a lot and leaned a Lot from your vids sold 4 in the first week as I have been made redundant due to covid 19 and with a retail background and at the age of 56 not much chance of getting a another job so turning my hobby into a business is what I am doing and really appreciate your hard work so keep it up and stay safe Steve G UK
Watched the full vid., was impressed with your tenacity to go all the way with that collection...of course you said you contacted him but didn’t say what he showed/told you of the collections contents...obviously worth it! Good luck in the future...
I know I’m on the West Coast but I’m currently re-bagging and boarding my entire collection, we’re talking 1000 plus books. I’m putting them in new bags and boxes then finally putting them in alphabetical order. I do this because of you and others who say how much you appreciate how clean and orderly a collection is. Let me tell you, it’s a TON of work but I’m staying true the organization.
Great buy on that collection ! Even after factoring in the drive , gas, tolls and time to pick up that collection. I figure it was still a win for you.
Loads of nice runs there and really nice to see no keys removed from the runs + there being multiples of some. Very nice sir. Hope you get some good CGC results back. For the 9.8's... Next Men number #21 btw for the First Hellboy(It is part 3 of a 4 part arc..). All the best from Scotland :)
Right in my back yard man saw my exit at Port Rd. Love the shenandoah valley man one of the most beautiful places in the US. Ive been looking for collections near me so much lolol. This wouldve been about 45 minutes from me. Love these videos man keep up the awesome work!!
I recognized that highway thru Scranton. Driven it a few times. Got good friends that live in that neck of the woods. Been a couple years. Hopefully next summer so I can take my son. He's never met them. He lives in Wyoming with his mom. Love your videos! KEEP IT COMICS!
Very fair price with room for you for sure. I was guessing about $2000 personally. You will probably make most of that back on the X-Men alone and the rest is your gravy! Nice haul
Just tripped across your channel the other day and I’ve got to say it’s among my favorite comic channels already. Nice work on the channel overall and this collection buy as well.
I was hoping to hear you sing Country Roads when you entered West Virginia. Loved the tiny mobile house. Looking forward fot the CBCS Jim Lee unboxing.
Gary, that's an awesome score!! Great books. Can't wait to see what else you have in that collection. Hey, Christmas is coming up and I need an ASM 361 to round out my collection 😁!! Keep it comics dude!
Yesterday I said the Pokémon video was kinda boring and you told me that I would like today's video..... Oh brother did you deliver!.... Loved the traveling (wish there was a little more video to that but I get it you're riding solo.)..... I am a huge massive X-Men fan so this was right up my alley..... Also I laughed pretty hard when you did the whole 361 five times. Thank you for great content.
This is the first video of yours I've watched. Liked it a lot, good to see people finding good worthwhile stuff in the wild. Was away from the screen when it started, thought for a second Tom Cruise was narrating lol for real man, you sound just like him.
Nice buy. I had 25 of those Wolverine #1"s, all signed by Frank Miller. We brought him to Vegas to do a signing when it first came out. He was cool, spent a whole day and night with him. He liked to party back in the day, he had never been to Vegas. The #2 was worth more than the #1, because 25 percent of Marvel's print run was ruined due to a flood. Made it a low print run. Little known fact.
Outstanding, Gary! That's a big investment. Anybody local to that guy really missed out on a great deal, but that worked out even better for you. Looking forward to seeing the updates of this as they come in
2.5k? pretty good deal considering the price tag of those keys. and for the long run, id say they'll go up in price, most likely. awesome find gary as usual!
Looking forward to the future videos. This just reminds me how much I've neglected my ASM and X-Men collections. Haha. Once I complete my early Daredevil it'll probably between those two and Fantastic Four next.... got some time before I decide that though.

I would drive 500 miles, and i would drive 500 more
just to be the man......
Who drives...
a thousand miles...
Da Da Da
And would walk 500 hundred more
After a full month in the hospital I am finally out. I have to thank you for all the time that I spent watching your videos. Greetings from Greece
Woooh!!! So jealous!! Great haul! It's nice to see people contacting you and knowing that their collection goes to a new home!!
Love these collection videos. Never stop. Always fun to see what you're able to find out there in the wild.
I am looking forward to the future videos about this collection. I liked your comments going through PA. I live in TN now but grew up near Frackville.
15k is a huge milestone. Congratulations! I've said it before I'll say it again. You keep pumping out the awesome videos and I'll keep watching.
Great haul. The multiple keys, made it even sweeter. Great value even with the leg work and submission fees you’re gonna come out pretty good on this one. Not too mention the great content that will come out of them. Can’t wait to see these back from CGC
I love this channel because he actually reads the comments. He's always liking comments people make
Real nice collection grab dude. I love seeing all the x-men books and the asm keys. Thank you for showing this get. Keep up the exciting content and I look forward to the future videos that will be coming from this collection.
Love it when the seller lets you tell the price you paid. Can't wait for the analysis at the end!
Nice weather for a Fall road trip! Glad it worked out! Thanks for sharing.

Love seeing collection purchases....bought many back in late 1970s to 1980s....
These on the road hunts are really fun. This was a great find. Looking forward to the end results.
Great road trip with a happy ending. Looking forward to future bids from the collection.
Worth the trip. First time seeing Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia. Nice view. Very nice key issues, especially with multiples.
Very nice collection 👌 cant wait for the future videos on this collection. Stay safe while traveling

Awesome!! That was definitely worth the trip down there! Great buy, great collection!
I like that you give the price, gives us a better idea of what kind of prices we can expect to pay when acquiring collections. :)
Looking forward to the CGC unboxings of these books, great haul 👍🏻
Wish I could find more collections to pick up!! Thanks for the video Gary!
Nice keys in the video. Worth the drive. I think you made a good investment. Can’t want to see in future videos on how you will do. Good luck.
Loving that x-men collection! Pretty much a great chunk of Claremont's run is full of key issues.
Gary, that's an awesome score!! Great books. Can't wait to see what else you have in that collection. Hey, Christmas is coming up and I need an ASM 361 to round out my collection 😁!! Keep it comics dude!

I love watching you find awesome collections. Keep up the great content.

Amazing collection. Loved your on the road shots and commentary.
You got a GREAT deal and well worth the drive. Who know there were such great collections still out there for sale?!
Great video, amazing haul, but this is just a tease for the main event.
I look forward to the CGC submission video.
And then the big reveal video. 😁
A bunch are already at cgc. Expect those videos early next year with their current turnaround times
