I had a seller tell me one time that the reason he has certain books almost double the market price is because they are his personal collection and don't want to sell. He just has them there for an eye catcher. If someone is willing to pay that's fine he will just buy another for his PC
that is ridiculous lol
Sounds like Mile High Comics lol
I respect how you're one of the few comic collectors on RUclips to actually call out how scummy and predatory some of the dealers/collectors and shops are. I know it's a business to some but it's got to a point were people dont even read comics they just hunt for the top 10 spec books they can flip to noobs for a jacked up price. This channel is great💯
I keep it 100 for real for real
I’m from Oklahoma and we don’t have shows like that around here. I’m used to smaller shows. I went to one in my town last weekend, it cost 10.00 to get in. I was helping a friend run his booth so I had a vendor pass to get in. I enjoyed the show, I got to look around and found a few books I’ve been looking for. I spent 30.00 the whole time I was there. I didn’t see any slabs, which is ok. I haven’t started on them yet. I wouldn’t have enjoyed myself at the show you visited on your video. But, thanks for sharing…I can see what bigger shows are like and thanks for explaining what kind of sellers to look out for. Your videos are always so helpful!
always appreciate you watching and commenting
Bob Barker? You had me looking for the old Price Is Right game show host 😂
Different bob
I went recently to the Springfield, Ma comic con but the vendor dealers prices were triple of guide and market I did you what you did looked around but found the prices to be crazy I purchases around 100 books mostly to flip made $150 profit. I was happy but disappointed that I couldn't find my key books at a decent price.
Thanks for sharing!
Wooooo, if I would have paid $40 to get in there, I’d be pretty upset. At least it’s not crowded though, so that’s kinda nice. I feel like for $40 they need to give you a soft pretzel with spicy mustard and a beer, or at least some mint chocolate chip ice cream with a Belgian waffle… 🤷♂️
Seems like that one booth is solid for golden age collectors, but that’s not me. Maybe the assumption should be that if the ticket prices are absurd, the prices past the gate will be as well.
What do you call it when you spend $500 for a booth at a con, but can’t sell anything because your prices are too high? “The wait and bleed.”
I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed
I was there! I wanted that raw xmen 94 at the inner geek but it was outside my budget lol. Glad you got your first golden age book!!
what were they asking?
@@Stickygoose they were asking 350. To some it might be cheap but that’s a pretty big price to me lol
@@staciashworth6717 WOW, 350...thats the one book I was missing, what was the grade or was it raw? if it was raw what grade would you give it?
Probably 6.5-7.5 but 7.5 might be a stretch
That booth space cost is insane. No wonder they price so high
I was shocked I thought it was supposed to be 350
Those were awesome quality Tales to astonish. You dont see them with such nice page color and
overall. At least from your camera they looked awesome.
everyone I saw looked pretty sharp
I LOVE WHEN YOU DO VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!! love the hunt
Appreciate that
👍👍👍
Congrats on evolving to the homo sapien sapien with the GA book! Lol
I feel.....evolved
Nice books. I honestly don't see Conventions lasting much longer if they can't have better deals than online. Why go to a convention, spend money on tickets, and smell peoples B.O, when you can get the book you want for cheaper online??
Preach
Yo! That dude had all the golden age goodies 😮. Thank you for sharing! Awesome video.
It was incredible
The Inner Geek been holding out on me. 😂
What do you mean lol
I know the guy who's booth you went to at the beginning of the video with the Washington jersey on for the issue of Avengers with the Black knight 1st appearance, he's a real good guy, I've been buying from him for almost a decade.
Seemed nice
The problem with Hulk and the MCU, is Universal studios. They hold some percentage of Hulk’s movie rights.
They could make a hulk horror movie and it would be "incredible"
We had an Inner Geek in Lexington ky until it was bought out by another shop in town but it's just not the same now.
Thankyou for being so welcoming to newest fans and collectors
And now gatekeeping stuff
It’s very cool of you to shoutout stores and vendors that have good deals
another great video, i appreciate the honesty in all ur vids, no hype
Glad you like them!
Great vid dude, really like these vlog style vids!
Glad you like them!
Welcome to the world of gold, Goose! Nice pick ups, always enjoy your convention vids.
Thank you kindly!
Thats funny on the iron fist 14
Those are some good pickups. I definitely want to start picking up those Red Sonja keys, she's just a character I have always loved and I even like the movie they did in the 80's. The TOS 52 is an awesome book.
I couldnt believe that red sonja book is not worth more
Nice pickups! I ROfLOL on comment about GA cherry! 😂
which one is he lol
Great price on the swords!
Agreed!
I enjoy your commentary and insight you provide for fellow collectors. Stay blessed my friend
Thanks, you too!
Careful with the PGX golden age books. They’re often some what restores. Not always but just be careful. But dang you got such a good deal on those three
Can’t even look up grader notes online
Thanks for stopping by my friend! Sweet pickups!
Thank you too!
Good to see other West Virginia people still collecting. Glad to see my brother Bob Barker in the mix. I’m a collector myself which used to live in West Virginia now live in North Carolina
Very cool!
Great video. Thanks for the info you put out. Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching!
I did like this video. Thanks
Glad to hear it!
This is precisely why with my next convention I'm selling at, I stick by the $1 Regular Covers and $2 Variant Covers and everything else does have a price tag on it following FMV from CP, but willing to negotiate or next up to 30% off a priced book.
good luck at next con
I posted a comic con vlog bc u inspired me!😻
Bot
Appreciate you showing what a lot of us go through at comic book conventions, especially the overpriced vendors - I always skip them. Also fun watching the digging for golden age slabs, I've never bought a slab, but it's cool seeing what higher-end collectors look for.
My pleasure!
I sold a FF older book to a dealer. He got it graded. Came back a 7.0 even though it was more like a 5.0. The book was worth 350 in a 7.0 grade. He priced it in his shop for 2250. Im not kidding.
great video quality. wish inner geek offered his ga books on the web cause id buy a few
Good to see ya dumpster baby it’s been a bit
Cool you’re in MTG too. I still have my revised set from 1995
Wonder why dealers stuff the boxes so tight you cant even thumb through the books. My strategy is i have 3-5 books i want raw or cgc and i make a short list of the fmv and do a walthrough and see who is close on the price etc.
lazy
Dude I got 2 ASM 50’s. A CGC 4.0 and CGC 7.5. Get a copy bro. You deserve it🤗🤗🤗🤗
sell me the 7.5 for good price
You picked up some nice books. Gratz.
Thanks!
Ya I prefer raw books as well. But up to honest sometimes comics need maintenance, the slabs make that all but impossible. But on the upside the CGC does it’s job ( well 97% of the time) to make cheating harder, no one wants to pay these prices and get taken.😓
i feel more comfortable with my cgc books
I'm the guy wearing "The Tick" backpack..............nobody beats The Tick...nobody!!!
I need to get into that character
Maybe that's the exclusive bugar variant. Do your research before wiping it off
Bahahaha
Nice deals and pick up's bro. And congrats on popping that cherry 🍒 😂
Had to be done
I want first darkseid. Depends on condition
I want mid grade at least
😂dude has signs at the end of every longbox. Priced as mark. That's a clear sign your not going to get a good deal. Better luck next time
That avengers 45. First Dane Whitman black knight is grossly undervalued imo. It’s bottom basement bargain priced.
Still looking for a copy
Second full appearance, First cover appearance of Red Sonja. You're slipping Goose
read the label
@@Stickygoose If CGC wrote then I guess I can't argue that
Golden age books rn are a good investment
For real
40$?! They're making money off each vendor table plus a percentage of sales i imagine. Should a cool 20$ man, id want to price everything cheap just to" get it gone" . Lugging that all the way home
What was the rough grade on that Jimmy Olsen? Looked nice. $300 U.S. is about $400 Cdn. Just picked up a copy which was graded around a 4.0 (VG) for $150 Cdn. That's about $110 U.S. Congrats on your pick ups.
didnt see the back maybe a 5.0 could have been a 6
It is a sharp book my friend. We have it around a 7.0. $300 was my partners “don’t want to sell it price” lol
Now that you’ve got that Tales from the Crypt, I heartily encourage you to pick up the reprint version from the ‘90s (which is numbered issue 28) and read that sweet, sweet pre-Code goodness.
As with most EC comics, this one’s got four stories. In this case all four were written by Carl Wessler, who came aboard at the tail end of the New Trend era. The artwork is by Jack Davis, Reed Crandall, Jack Kamen and Graham Ingels.
I re-read ‘em today. None of the stories are super noteworthy but they’re all fun, with good set-ups and last-moment plot twists, an EC hallmark.
I think there are hardcover reprints to
Yup, there are multi-issue hardcover and softcover EC reprint volumes available. If you want to really get familiar with Tales from the Crypt material, those are a good option. (I own a bunch of the oversized box sets that reproduce the stories in black-and-white.)
For individual issues, the 1990s Gemstone single-issue reprints are the most affordable format.
For fan expo first day advance ticket is $38.00 with tax otherwise $48.00. Just for preview night from 4pm to 9pm.
never been to that one
$40 to get in ? Ouch … The best local Con in Northeast Ohio @Neocon is only $5 to get in . Two 8’ tables cost me $250 for both to setup .
that actually sounds reasonable
Like your channel but I have to say with regards to your opinions on dealers prices on different books.....Who cares what they are asking ? just go to the next booth! Who knows what they have into it or what they paid for it...That's the nature of any business and make no mistake it is a business when you are paying upwards of a $1000.00 for 1 or 2 days.
Hahaha, a jedi does not sell like that. So true.
I dont think he was a real jedi
Great video! I'm with you on the vendors who have books poking halfway out the box. Hate that! Makes it too difficult to dig and respect their setup.
Was set to go to this show until I ended up having to work. Getting a sense of the show from the Sticky cam is the next best thing. Seems like there were deals to be had if you put in a little work, so maybe next year.
You checking out the Virginia Vintage show in a couple weeks?
Where is that
Salem. Sent you some info just now.
18:28 haha thanks for passing up on that Kanan book. Must’ve snagged it soon after.
Same with the Alex Ross Wolvie. Those books go for a decent amount now.
You obviously haven't been to a show with my friend Gene Carpenter "All-American Comics", as his display and stock would make you faint...all in raw, as he hates slabbed books!
Where does he set up
He does shows all over the US, from Oklahoma to Florida and up through Philadelphia and Jersey. 50-55 shows a year, mostly smaller comic cons and not filled with popular culture material. He doesn't do anything online or through eBay, and as I said, he doesn't sell any slabbed books. @@Stickygoose
Entrance fees for most shows have gotten out of hand.
I still can't get over the entry fee, I literally payed less for concert tickets.
It’s a rip off
Do you know the name of the first vendor? The one with the Hulk 181?
For future con showcases can you shows a quick splash of the vendor name?
inner geek
Since it seems you want comics for bargain basement prices, perhaps, events like this aren't for you. As a collector, if I find a rare book I am looking for, pretty much happy to pay whatever I need to. Especially, given that I have no future intensions whatsoever of wanting to sell any comics.
How much was that Xmen 18 kirby 😂.. i sold it, i was just curious
Great show thanks me too just starting to get into golden age buying fewer comics cos expensive but all othersagesdon’t hold the attraction trying to concentrate on significant covers Soti etc but when you get the bug it bites ps does this mean I’m a homosapien ?❤
Yes you have fully evolved
@@Stickygoose cheers buddy
Are you allowed at cons to ask when you see a book price so high over market price how much they are into that book or is it rude to ask if they over pay
I have asked these guys where they found books before and I don’t care if they think I’m rude
1:56 oh snap 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the vendors actually asked me if I took their books. Simply because I walked up to their booth with books already in my hands lolol
I should’ve been meaner, but I just let that shit roll off.
My Buddy Phat Daddy AKA Jamie Stewart at 6:40 ish…
shout out Phat Daddy
shout out phat daddy
I dont know but if i over heard someone about to pay 500$ for a 100$ book for example im gonna speak up so im not sure how bad the guy was getting bent over but if it was bad enough you should of spoke up
YESSSSSSS if they work too hard to talk or sell you something, that is major turn off... I compare those like the hated stereotypical used car salesman, 😆
I can't mess with cons...if I do go I usually shop out of the 1 dollar/ 2 dollar boxes. I get all my keys off line...it's cheaper, I get these booths have to make a profit and they spend a fortune to rent the space and hell you probably paid to get in...BUT, NO I am not paying these over inflated prices.
i hate buying online
how much was the asm 50?
You passed on a wolverine 2 limited for five bucks........omg
Did I?
@@Stickygoose yup
Just imagine what some of the sellers are paying...
Less than what they selling 😂
500
On strike?
All those vendors seemed really over priced but you got some good deals on books. I am not buying any comics right now cause I am saving up to get my TMNT#1 by this Dec and next year going after X-Men#1 1963, Amazing Fantasy#15,Batman#1 1940, Hulk#181 and Cerebus#1 and then my comic book collection is complete and might just pick up cheap key books.
they were brutal at this show
the comic can copy
Did sticky goose stop making videos?
No just on vacation
The comic community needs you!
Did anyone refuse to sell to you? 😂
if I would have tried to buy from the guy when I met Bob Barker he would have
@@Stickygoose money moves and those that don’t want to sell shouldn’t be in the Game..
Photo copy meshine
You need to point out those FF books are not worth that much because of there low grade
Dude, you cannot use cgc and FMV in the same sentence, if you pay more for some random guy in Florida to rate your book, you deserve to be ripped off
ok
You dont know how signatures go? You sound like a rookie.
Yea I am is that bad?
