The actual pronunciation of Ra’s Al Ghul’s first name is Ras (rhymes with gas). It is the Arabic word for head, as in Head of the Demon. Ghul is also Arabic and means “demon-like being or monstrous humanoid, often associated with graveyards and the consumption of human flesh”. I assume most people will still pronounce it Raz anyways, but just so you know.
@ No problem. But I now realize that Ra’s Al Ghul can’t be his real name. That is his title. (Unless his mom had a real difficult birth and that was what she named him 🤣). Did they ever address this? So, when Batman calls him Ra’s, he is essentially saying “Hey Head”, which is kind of funny 😄.
Tom, it was actually funny to incorporate negative criticism. And I cannot believe it, I own five books on the list this week. 13 years ago I got Silver surfer number one and the first appearance of mephisto from auction for like $30. The Silver surfer number one cover is detached.
Do you guys track Signature Series sales? A rare sig or remark could explain some of these outlier prices. That, or, people Xmas shopping for loved ones and not knowing or caring about value. Anyways, another Killer Vid gang. Keep up the energy, Tom! Fuk the haters 📚🤘📚
Star Wars 1 is just selling because it is a buyer's market right now. Long term it is a blue chipper..even if the gains are modest. 1st Rhas is an undervalued Adams issue. It has serious long term.potential . Mine is pristine..hopefully a 9.4 or better. But I am loathe to have it graded. Worried about it getting damaged.
Ya'll both crazy. FF 48 is a great cover. It elicits feeling of anticipation, of something big coming. All the FF and the citizens and even the Watcher staring off into the distance, looking out and slightly up at something approaching. The tag line "The Coming of Galactus" on the cover. I wasn't alive when this book came out but I can only imagine what a little kid must have thought looking at this on a spinner rack or a news stand. I would've been so hyped wondering who the hell is Galactus and why does it feel like business is about to pick up? FF 49 is good, but by comparison, it's just another random action cover, which every cover during the Silver Age was doing that. Nothing about it intriguing me or making me HAVE to have it, other than the normal awesome Kirby artwork and FF goodness of course.
What is up with people overpaying wow. People really should watch your RUclips channel Tom keep up your high energy that's why I watch your channel loving in it ❤❤❤
Hey Tom .. Tell those people who say the too much talking and hand gestures.. they can kiss ur ass and how much more impactful you are and they are not.. you be you dude.. 😊
I think you should partner with Todd McFarlane to do an exclusive comic Tom 101 amazing Spider-Man 1000. If you are feeling froggy you can do a metal cover. Something like 1001 issues for COMIC TOM 101
If you guys thought Mark Spears Monsters #1 rising sell price was a flash in the pan, just saw a raw copy of a Haven Store exclusive #1 sell for an astonishing $218 on EBAY. All the 1st print #1 variants now selling raw copies in the $30 - $40 range and rising. You can barely find a cover A copy for sale and when you do, raw copies sell for over $100. The original Kickstarter copies rarely if ever make it to auction and sell at large dollar values as well. Believe it, this book is not coming down. It's white hot and for real. I think you guys should reevaluate your opinion of this book.
I'm done with the m-she-u ... til they start giving us more comic accuracy.. and better stories where thier not trying to shovel girl power down our thoat .. the m-she-u has made phase 4 garbage.. I will not watch thunderbolts.. not excited for cap 4 . Or FF 1st steps .. 😢 it's all bs since 4 started sorry ... its why disney stock plunged 😂😂😂😂😂 ..
A 9.8 newsstand Secret Wars 8 sold today for $970.

Context is 🔑! Break it down
Thank you for adding so much context and clarity to the name.

hey tom keep talkin with ya hands bro LOL

Kraven spec gonna crash harder than a Rachel Zegler movie.
Appreciate the content fellas! I was pleasantly surprised to see 3 of my recently acquired books on the list 😏
They bought that Star Wars because they wanted the book and didn’t care about the price.
That's the truth! There will be like 1000 variants for ASM 1000. And, they'll be $9.99 cover price.

Still waiting for my Black Atom spec to pay off so I can retire.
Good luck. You’ll be waiting for a long time.
🤣🤣
Buy Bitcoin… and I don’t mean BTC, but #HarryPotterObamaSonic10inu
Aaron Taylor Johnson is a good actor, I liked him recently in Bullet Train.
Great content. I have 6 out of 10 booka this week👍
These buyers were thinking it’s my money and I’ll spend it how I want.
If Gunn is smart he'd use the spectre and the demon!😂❤ And keep moving your hands around, but don't strangle Jeff because the $$$ are crazy!
😅. I’d love to see Spectre and Demon, really any universe that wants to bring in more mystical and supernatural like characters.

Frank Miller on ASM 1000 😂
Maybe the 7.0 wasn't pressed and had something that could be pressed out? This could increase in grade once properly pressed and regraded.
I don’t even want to guess how many variants there will be for ASM1k when it drops
Tom, DO NOT CHANGE!
The best early Surfer covers are FF #49, #55 and #72.
I have a special place in my heart for ASM 300 I remember when that book was hot in the 90’s I wish I would have bought everyone I saw back then.
You and me both. Especially newsstands.
Thanks Guys great video and information appreciate it as always
I would like to see NO VARIANTS FOR ASM 1K. Wouldn't that be something?

Truly fantastic and valid points. I have gone back and forth on this cover so many times in my collecting history.
One of the aspects I truly enjoy about your chanel is that you keep it positive. I can’t image why people thrive off the negative.
🙏 for the support.
I bought FF48 CGC2.5 OW FOR 530$ last week on mercari…. Just saying I scored YUGE!
Dude don’t change, keep that energy! Butch is adorable though 😽
I’m really enjoying the Golden Age Guru as Tom’s co-host.
What is up with people overpaying wow. People really should watch your RUclips channel Tom keep up your high energy that's why I watch your channel loving in it ❤❤❤
🙏
RE. Secret Wars #8 for $935. Maybe they saw a solid 9.9 or 10 candidate for CPR? That's most likely it.
Hey Tom .. Tell those people who say the too much talking and hand gestures.. they can kiss ur ass and how much more impactful you are and they are not.. you be you dude.. 😊
Watched the 8 minute trailer release of Kraven. I think this movie might make people forget how bad other Sony projects have been. Hoping so anyway!
sell it after the movie release maybe its a hit, hype is on...gamble
Some of that good ol’ fashioned fomo
Tom’s hat is going over big as THE newest and hottest statement in Amish ladies fashion ware.
I have Batman 232 in a 9.6 WP ❄️ 9.8 is next level tho
9.6 is such a spectacular grade for that book. Congrats.
How dare they. Tom doesnt talk too much. And no you didnt....not luvn the frank variant for deadpool wolverine eh😅😅😅😅😅
😅
I have the first 9 in my collection. Not bad.
😱
I am thinking market manipulation concerning Secret Wars #8.
Jeff, would you rather see SW #8 on this list...or more Wolverine (LS) #1?
I think SW #8. 🤔
I think you should partner with Todd McFarlane to do an exclusive comic Tom 101 amazing Spider-Man 1000. If you are feeling froggy you can do a metal cover. Something like 1001 issues for COMIC TOM 101
I really like Jeff as the co-host. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Good selection of books to review. Most of them are keepers no matter what.
I like the FF 48 cover better than 49.
Drunk eBay buy and fomo 😂
I am guilty of buying a comic after a late night drinking before 😂
I feel like the over priced sells are just a planned sale to increase value/demand for the overall market.
I found an F. F. # 390 " look 's to be 9.8!! From 1994!!! In my UNK' collection. What's your opinion. On that book with Flume on the cover!!!?? 🤔
I like depressed Tom 😂
😅

Can’t get any of my books this week because of distribution issues. Non sense
Looks like the people who complain about you moving your hands has no grasp of the basics of public speaking.
Venom: The Last Dance only made $468M, what are you talking about???
or maybe its because Bitcoin hit 100K now flush with funds for comics..
I can’t imagine that there won’t be an influx of cash to hobbies in general with crypto on rise as it has been.
Danny!
You guys are sinking. Takes to long to say anything an I friggin knew Tom soft self was a Swifty. Jim come back an put some cool back on here
Meh’ mistakes happen
