    Shoutout to ‪@AComicBookworm‬ for hosting me and being a great friend throughout.

    Some real steals there Metarog! Great stuff. I have always been a big fan of the Marvel Fun and Games series. One of my favorites as a kid and they are just so fun to flip through today. I loved all the games books and magazines as well that Marvel churned out in the 70’s and early 80’s. Looked like a successful con!

      Me too. I remember doing a lot of those puzzles when they came out. I especially liked how the heroes would “host” and give you hints. Fun times LP.👍

      I was shocked at all the good cheap comics around. Im sure I missed a bunch but there were plenty. Yes, meeting those creators was quite the thrill. To admire their work for years and then to see them in person was a major hero out moment. Thanks Prime.👊

    Great Stuff! Digging is always fun at these types of show. Some really great art on those. Midnight Tales 1 is a great find! Secrets of Love and Marriage too.
    Yup, diggers envy from this haul.
    Once upon a time I was pretty anti signatures too, then I started associating them with the memories of the people.
    Or the impact they had on the industry and my opinion shifted.
    I still think some signatures can ruin the art, but I appreciate them now.

    • @metarog
      @metarog  3 месяца назад

      Thanks Richard. I have a lot of fun digging and finding these gems just added to the thrill. I rarely have creators sign comics but I figured the memories alone was worth the small fees. You just never know if another chance will arise. 😁

    @Scotty-Z70 3 месяца назад +2

    okay, so when i go to a comic shop, i have my clz app, and i don't buy anymore comics until i load the bought stuff to the app. how do you know what you are getting and got when you have over a dozen different vendors in one day?

    • @metarog

    @Scotty-Z70 3 месяца назад +3

    hey, i got an offer from a 1-80 Star Trek Vol 2 run of the DC series that would make them $2. This seems like a good idea since it is cheaper and quicker than hunting them, and the 2 sources where i go i never EVER see Star Trek in the $1 bins....is it ever okay to buy comics for more than $1?

    • @metarog
      @metarog  3 месяца назад +1

      Sure. If you are going to get them anyway all at once makes sense.

    A great haul Roger but I had no doubt you would find jewels if there are jewels to be had. Of course, this HeroesCON had tons of those. Again, thanks for picking up some of those books for me. Last year, I was hunt for OAs and this year I was hunt for fellow RUclipsrs so my comic hunt is again light but you sure are adding to my hunt!!! :D

    • @metarog
      @metarog  3 месяца назад +1

      Well thank you for the vote of confidence. Yes, there were so many good comics for cheap. In retrospect I should have gotten a bunch more and left some at your place for later pickup. I’m glad I found a few for you as you are a most gracious host… especially putting up with my antics.😁

I also like that Silver Age DC Adventure Comic for $2.00 and Bronze Age Marvel Scarecrow #1comic. You definitely did a lot of digging! Too bad you missed out on some of the $2.00 Golden Age books but at least you managed to get some. 👍

    You really did "Make out incredible!" I loved this entire program you did tonight because of the joy you shared! It makes it difficult after this to pay "regular prices" on books doesn't it? $1,2 & 3 dollars are right up my ally friend! I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it this year, but i still plan on meeting you someday. You are, and I've said this before, one of the true, great collectors of our time!

    • @metarog
      @metarog  3 месяца назад +1

      Ah thanks so much Alan. I was so engrossed in those bins that even my aching feet didn’t stop me.😁 I guess the joy was too much and it showed in the vid. It is so tough to pay sticker prices even before the Con.
      It was a bummer you couldn’t make it as you were probably number 1 on my meet list. I’ll catch you someday.
      I hope all is well my friend… stay awesome.👊
