I find it a pleasant change to see you show joy and pride over mid or low grade books, when so many other comic channels display disdain for any book below a 9.2. Great collection ,well done. Cheers!
Well said! I’m mostly happy to have the book in my collection. If I can get a 9.8 on a modern book, happy days. Really appreciate you watching the video. 👍
That ASM 316 is delicious. Well done Kev. Mate. You have tons of books. Thats amazing. making me start to regret selling some of my key books. Well done fella.
Hi, ASM 252 was released in May 1984. Secret Wars 8 was later that year and is the origin of the black suit. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the content 👍
Hi Phil, thank you for watching. There’s been a few good finds over the years. Off the top of my head: The Boys issues 1-6, I found last year for £2 ($2.50) each in a place in Manchester. In Reading; in a charity book book shop, I found the entire set of Star Wars, Heir to the Empire for £11.99 ($15). I sold that set for £250 ($315). I’m not really big on Star Wars. Also a place in Stoke On Trent I found a copy of Wizard Magazine issue 1 for £1 ($1.25). I couldn’t believe it. There’s many more instances. But thanks for asking 👍
@@MJComix Cheers for the answer MJ. One more thing say for instance you found a 1000 dollar comic for like one dollar or something would you give the collector a good deal on it or not if you were to sell it?
@@comicron I couldn’t do that to someone. If it was a comic shop, it’s not my responsibility to inform them of their prices. But you would like to think if you took such a book to the counter they would know it’s more valuable. But most the time comic shops are massively over priced anyway, still have stickers from the pandemic boom! I have on occasions been at places and told them about certain books being more valuable than they are selling them for and it always helps build rapport with those owners. A private seller I would always offer more if it was a blatant rip off.
😂 nothing too expensive here to worry too much about. Patiently waiting for what CGC are gonna say about a new anti tamper proof slab design. Thank you for watching. 👍
@@bujindork Yes, Copper and Modern Age books that aren’t 9.8s probably don’t need to be checked - unless they are big key books that are a Canadian or Australian price variant, or have a Mark Jewelers insert that would drastically increase their value.
ORANGE, Orange everywhere! Amazing books buddy, I actually found one of those Sonic promos recently, it is inside a superman comic (can’t remember the issue)
You being in the UK, I can only imagine that vintage American comic books would be rare finds. I assume they would have made it into specialty shops across the pond decades after first publishing?
We had a comics shops that would specifically sell comics. Some American and some UK price variants of the same. But we didn’t have newsstands or places like that where you could pick up comics from elsewhere. Thanks for watching 👍
@@MJComix I'm in Canada so we essentially had the same availability as the US, both newsstand and direct. I remember going to London in the 90s and visiting the Forbidden Planet shop, not sure it's still around?
@@trollking99 yes it’s still there. There are Forbidden planets in pretty much every major city here now. But it’s mostly Funko pop and figures. They do have comics but new releases mostly, no back issues. The best comic shop in London I’ve been to is called Mega City Comics, check out that video here: Mega City Comics - The Best Comic Shop In London! ruclips.net/video/6uK9SZueyNM/видео.html
Thank you 🙏. Hopefully CGC can come up with a new improved tamper proof slab. I will be watching eagerly for an announcement. Although I got to admit CBCS slabs are looking a lot better now. Thank you for watching 👍
I met him at the London Film and Comic Con in 2018. I need to meet Gillian Anderson to complete the dream. Then I will submit to CBCS for verification. Thank you for watching 👍
Mate, some of these make me jealous 😂, honestly though what a collection, absolutely love it, our interests are very similar, especially where Ben Reilly/Batman/Venom/Spidey are concerned, just sent a ASM #4 (first Silk) for submission, triple signing by Dan Slott, Humberto Ramos an Edgar Delgado
Ah mate thank you. It’s there’s some more already on the way now! What’s funny is we sat next to each other in science and never knew we both liked it. Probably because it wasn’t cool back then! Thanks for watching, always a pleasure to hear from you. Best of luck with your submission, who you sent it off with? Direct with CGC?
@@MJComix crazy enit, yeah most likely mate, but little did realise that comics have always been cool! Ooh look forward to seeing what you have come back. Anytime dude
Great video, some nice books there. Just watched it while sorting out more books to down size 😅May be too long an answer on here, buts whats your thoughts on the issues currently with cgc ? Not a massive cgc fan myself, but do have 19 😅
Always appreciate you watching buddy! I need to downsize as well. I’m going to sell a load of books next month at an event in Hereford. CGC thoughts, I’m patiently awaiting to see what anti tamper proof slab they come out with. I would be a bit dubious buying a big newsstand, mark jewellers or big boy books at the moment. I had filmed a video about it all, but I deleted it because after editing it, it wasn’t a positive video… so didn’t feel right to me.
Very true, this particular video is just my graded comics. If I did a video on my raw comics, it would be 5 hours long 😂. Thank you for watching, I appreciate it. ❤️
😂 appreciate it. I was asking for that! A lot I’ve sent off myself, a few older slabs I’ve purchased 10+ years ago. But really been into grading since 2018. Thank you for sticking around 👍
Bro, don’t hate on CBCS. CGC fanboy it seems like. With the reholder scandal and other issues, it’s not like CGC is superior. Otherwise, nice modern collection. All easy comics to find on key collector associated with Marvel movies/shows. No golden age/pulp/indie books. A lot of those books, prices have dropped
Cgc has been caught with there pants down and have been doing that scam for years and yet can do no wrong right folks. If someone robbed your house and knew who they were would you invite them into your house again? Unfortunately dummies would like wise CGC
I don’t hate on CBCS, I have always preferred how the CGC slabs looked. It’s a preference. But I would never turn down a CBCS book if I can get it for a cheaper price. There are some CBCS books in the video. I send comics I’ve had signed in person to CBCS for verification. I do like the look of their new holders. It’s getting better. I’ve been collecting comics for nearly 30 years, a fair few of these books are ones I had long before apps and smart phones even existed. I do imagine getting into golden age one day but have always found them too rich for my blood. I was reading and collecting comics in the 90s and that’s what I love. Hence why my collection is mostly modern. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
Amazing books my friend! Well done
Appreciate you watching Bryan. Hope you’re well my friend. Would you take it all as a trade for an AF 15 😜
What a collection bud. It’s insane you have some gems in there. Thanks for sharing.
Ah thank you for the kind words. Ive added some books to it m already 😜. Thanks for watching 👍

This video has possibly inspired me to bust out my books.
Please do bro! 👍

@@MJComix Thats great, me too :)
Amazing books mate so jealous of he ASM collection

Wasn't Secret Wars 8 the first appearance of the Black Symbiote suit?
Hi, ASM 252 was released in May 1984. Secret Wars 8 was later that year and is the origin of the black suit. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the content 👍
Hi MJ brilliant video. Just wondering what is the biggest valuable key you found for peanuts in the wild?

Great collection, kudos to your wife on her taste in wedding presents 👍
I’m incredibly blessed to have her. Thank you for watching 👍
Now you have to check every slab to see if books were swapped out. Thanks CGC.
😂 nothing too expensive here to worry too much about. Patiently waiting for what CGC are gonna say about a new anti tamper proof slab design. Thank you for watching. 👍
Really only 9.8s of really expensive e keys like ASM 300. I doubt I have to worry about my NM98 9.4 or ASM 300 9.0
@@bujindork Yes, Copper and Modern Age books that aren’t 9.8s probably don’t need to be checked - unless they are big key books that are a Canadian or Australian price variant, or have a Mark Jewelers insert that would drastically increase their value.

Love it! Yeah they are in justice league of Europe 33 and some other dc books.
Very Nice!! ❤
Thank you! Really appreciate you watching the video 👍
Bravo buddy, bravo. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks bud 😍
Great books! Noticed many newsstands ....any chance you have any Newsstand Canadian Price Variants?
Thank you for watching. I have not bought any intentionally but I may have a raw copy in my collection.

Thank you 🙏. Hopefully CGC can come up with a new improved tamper proof slab. I will be watching eagerly for an announcement. Although I got to admit CBCS slabs are looking a lot better now. Thank you for watching 👍
Amazing collection! Any plans to pick up Skottie Young or J Scott Campbells? Looks like it's time to take the next step and move up to earlier ASMs. 😊
That's the plan! I’ve got a few duplicates to sell towards getting bigger books. Thank you so much for watching.
Fun fact. The ASM 300 DVD reprint doesn’t have the scene of MJ cheering Peter up 😉
I did not know this. That’s why we need Superpower Review back!
Nice collection! Where did you get a signed David Duchovny X-Files #1 ??
