On Free Comic Book day I went to a giant comic book warehouse sale put on by Gary Dolgoff Comics, one of the biggest comic sellers in the country... and got an INCREDIBLE comic haul for an insanely low price! So then why was I AFRAID to make a youtube video about it? Watch the video to find out why, and to see the incredible comics that I brought home!

i appreciate your outlook on the community, cause i have experienced the bad side of comic collecting/scalping! i unfortunately dont have alot of money to pay up for good books, so i hate it when i see people buying them, and then reselling for way over what the book is worth! i collect for me, not to resell, and some resellers ruin the hobby!
You know he is going to resell a bunch of these? 😂 you think he grabbed 10 of all those. Comics at $3 each and he’s not going to resell?!?!
@@thewalruswasjason101agree - he’s going to do the same thing as other dealers/flippers. Buy low and sell high to make money.
I understand it’s a taboo subject for many people but this is how we can afford some comics we normally couldn’t: Get a good deal on a comic and trade/sell it for closer to retail (at a profit) to work toward owning bigger books. Most of us do it to improve our collections. We all do this to some extent. Some people lie, deceive, or take advantage of others to get ahead. Others grind to find great deals to pass along to someone else who is happy to pay a little more than we did. I’ve been on all sides, bought and sold at a loss and profit. Some of us have the means to pay for comics and never sell while some of us have to buy and sell to stretch our money to afford the keys we otherwise couldn’t. Love it or hate it, that’s the way the hobby is evolving.
Funding the hobby to fund the hobby. We all do it. What would be the point of selling at a loss all the time? If you’re going to sit there and legitimately think you would pass on any of these books, you’re lying through your phone screen.
@@dansxmencomicsNAILED it. I grew up in Baltimore,got my books at GEPPIS COMIC WORLD when Steve still ran the shop in Harborplace. Got to know him pretty well over the years. While I was afforded the occasional hint of what's to come or saw things before some folks,no real advantage till later in life. Been to Atlanta to the Diamond spring cleaning a cpl times... .25¢ a comic. Every. Comic. I was getting signed INFINITY GAUNTLET #1s for a quarter. Gaiman was there signing my .25¢ SANDMAN books we were given Platinum MILESTONE #1s.
I could have made a KILLING!!!
But sold 2 I.G. with the gold Perez sigs...for 12 bucks each. The rest were given away.
Same with Sandman issues.
Had free drawings for all ..ALL .the platinum Milestone books.
I got to keep my copies.
The 48 total dollars bought bags and boards.
Felt greasy to try to bilk the people,my FRIENDS, that I traded and bought with out of next weeks comic money.
Integrity in the hobby must be maintained!!!!
I found it unnerving how many copies of good books that are more expensive to buy all over the place for just three dollars.
Dude, your conscience is clear. The sellers could easily set a 5 book duplicate limit per customer. Kudos to them for bringing those books light to keep the comic community excited!! Good job man. Collect on!
Absolutely the BEST comic sale i’ve seen anyone show us. Ever. Not even my wildest happy comic dream has been that good. Great show!
Gotta tell you, probably craziest sale I’ve ever seen as well!
Fr like Polly the coolest comics too
I had tears in my eyes Mike....that's the sale I've needed to find for the last 2 years. (In a very unique situation) LIFE changing sale.
Really cool you were there though,I honestly can't think of anyone who deserves the awesomeness more!
There were so many 90s comics that were printed it just boggles my mind
Seeing all the 90’s comics in bulk doesn’t surprise me at all! I really love your channel for your genuine love and passion for the hobby. I have collected off and on for several years. One of the reasons I quit collecting for almost a decade was because every book during the 90’s was expected to have tremendous value in the long run. Then the speculator market crashed. The potential value of the books I bought were my motivation then and I lost interest in the hobby. I sold most of my collection and kept only 8 books that I loved. Then the Daredevil movie came out and reignited my passion for collecting again. I’ve been a consistent collector since 2003 and have no plans of stopping. Several RUclips channels were really helpful to learn how the hobby had changed, your channel has always been fun to watch. I’ve gotten tired of the speculation on movies and TV and collectors focus only on key issues at a 9.8. That was never the focus of my collecting, I actually reading the stories and following the journey of the characters as different creative groups attempted to put their twist on a classic character. Books that I collected more than a couple of decades ago are now the hot books that collectors are dying together their hands on. I guess to some clearly I’m naive by actually buying books that I love. I love the characters and that’s what keeps people collecting and reading. I’ve also had a lot of fun collecting facsimiles of books that I could never afford, I don’t mind being in the minority of collectors. When you drop $75-$100 every 2 weeks on books you give more thought to how you spend your money. At 50 years old, I think I’m a bigger geek for comics than when I was younger. 😂😂 Never quit being a positive person about your passion for collecting comics. If I lived where you lived I would have gone into debt buying what books I could myself. 😂😂😂
The last time I went to a show like that was probably about 8 years ago. Books were not $3 each. It was more like fill a short box for $30, long box for $50. The market for comics these days is kind of crazy... can't wait for things to crash back down a bit. Million print run comics are way too expensive and people find 'keys' in every little moment. Kind of out of control. Cool video though! Digging through boxes will always be fun.
Your attitude about it helps it remain a celebration of a great tradition and community and as long as other people agree to protect it, we can all share in that celebration.
That's a great haul. I'm not into X-Men as much, but still, $3 a book is an amazing deal.
The theme from Jaws should play whenever a reseller comes to a comic book convention
Your channel is such a breath of fresh air. I been watching different comic book channels hunting type videos for a while now. Its always upset me to see them grab everything they see for reselling purposes. People like those guys ruined the hobby and the thrill of the hunt for me. Its good to see that you grab your share and left some for others to find. keep up the good work!
Those #1 Spiderman Tom McFarland are so expensive in Australia 🦘🌏
Tom ?
Must be Todd’s brother ?
@@roberthein2156 or I just have butter fingers
That looked like a great show, Mike! I can only imagine the ooh's and aah's emanating from the show floor every time a key was pulled out. I understand your concern, but you did the right thing in posting it. After all, this is about the love of the hobby. We can't control what others do, so there's no point in worrying about it. Enjoy the hobby and the connections made. Thanks for sharing!
Love it! Wish I still lived in New England where the scene is thriving. Here is the SF Bay Area the hunt is much harder with far fewer honey holes. Gary Dolgoff comics is a terrific company and I have enjoyed buying many many books from them over the years. Cheers and keep listening to your angel!😇
that is an absolutely bonkers haul!! a huge congrats to you Mike. If you run out of storage space and feel like you just can't store all those X-factor 5's, I can help you out and hold on to one of them for you. I'm working on finishing my run of the original series. but seriously.. that show was nuts!! I'm bummed I don't live close enough to check that show out
Such a fun video! Was exciting to see what you got and found. I would have been frantic in that place. I would have also had so much anxiety like I was going to miss something.
Just goes to show you that these modern books are NOT rare. If this one dealer had this many, how many more dealers have the same stashes?
Exactly I've seen most of these books on what not go for so cheap people will call anything "rare" now days
😱 This is Insanity 😱 Bro That Deadpool n Wolves Kubert, I have always loved & wanted that book. Gratz Man on an Incredible Show w/ Amazing Finds. -Cheers 🍻
Congrats on the Larfleeze book! I know you’ve been looking for that one for a while based on a video from a while back.
A few months ago I went to a 50% $1 and 25 cent bin sale and it was the same way. People would tell the people at the boxes beside them what they were looking for and we’d point out when we found them - AND if someone beside you noticed a good book in the box you were going through they would point it out so you wouldn’t miss it. So I think more times than not in this hobby people will help each other and make sure everyone wins. Cheers!
By the way loved the treasuries and the Spiderman, and X-MEN, and ooh X-MEN #53 and Classic X-Men, OMG I Love these comics and it is insane!!! GaryBailey KingofDarkness God of Thunder and Lightning 🌩️⚡⚡🌩️
Stop beating yourself up Mike. I think you showed remarkable restraint.
I remember as a kid seeing Gary Dolgoff's ads in Both Marvel and DC comics. Thinking how amazing it would be
to order comics in the post! I lived in the uk so it was not an option.
No hyperbole, those prices were stunning, a little above cover price!
Great to see father and son sharing a love of the same hobby.
Keep the vids coming mate, in these dark times they are the highlight of my week.
Hope you and your family keep well.
Best wishes from the UK.
Wolverine, Superman by Byrne , Jim Lee Wolverine, Mike you have hit gold in a gold mine, love those Green Lanterns!!! Gary Bailey KingofDarkness God of Thunder and Lightning
The ciondition of some of those comics is amazing!! They must be 30-40 years old and they are perfect!!
$3 a comic of majority of those is insane
GOOD OVER GREED.
Can trade.
Seller could do limited purchases ?
Maybe on the last day, unlimited sales .
MCP #72 - Shanna The She-Devil, Sheena is a different, non-Marvel character.
You're not responsible for what others may or may not do in the future; I would have no qualms about making this video or about advertising where to find comics elsewhere. Or not advertising it, in which case no-one else will know. And there's nothing wrong with buying for a low price and selling for a higher price, it's a pillar of economics. Those who complain are simply sorry that it wasn't them at the sale, they are irrelevant.
Gosh! It’s clear this dealer isn’t the only one with this huge inventory of 90s comics. These Marvel and DC comics are virtually all worthless just like those 90s Image comics. Many of those books have been featured on Tom 101 as hot speculation books. I suggest buy the books you truly like but don’t pay over two to three dollars for them because there’s no future investment in them. It’s scary to think collectors are wasting their money to have these books graded and slabbed. Collect comics for love only.
Best Video Ever…
Old saying, but still true
“Hater’s goin’ to Hate”
It was cool to see people be simply nice.
Stay Nice Lunch Money
A stack of minty Dave Stevens comics for $3 each - that's a steal...
Got my Batman book in today, the one I had you sign. 🤣🍺 I am the proud owner of LMC's first signature on a comic. Thank you bub.
Haha amazing, thanks for stopping by my friends’ show, we had so much fun!
Thank you for being honest that’s why I loved your show. I would be happy just with one of each. Specially X-Men four and five. I enjoy my collections not trying to make money. The only time that I sell is to send books to CGC for me. Muchas Gracias.
Look I know I'm late, but here's my thing no matter what you do, or say there's always gonna be people out there who are gonna ruin things and that's just life but showing people there are other opportunities to get big things for their own collections and seeing other people get what they want us truly and awesome things to see like you with your Spider-Man 2099 or green lantern or even X-Men.... With that being said also don't forget the X-Men collection video 😊
Hard to watch!! Wish I hadn’t… I really want (just one copy of) Wolverine 88 in my PC and those amount of Keys is nuts
good day mate, great video, some fantastic comics that you bought. Man you guys in the states are very lucky to have such an amazing places to go and buy books. love your videos and learning lots. have a great day
Hey Mike, thanks for the video. My favorite part was seeing you build happy memories with your son. Regarding the other bits, you and I can’t control how Mr. Dolgoff wants to sell his comics (i.e., put on a fabulous warehouse sale) or how buyers (resellers or not) are going to respond. Honestly, if selling comics were my way of feeding my family and that kind of opportunity came along, I would max out my purchase power as well. It’s really up to Mr. Dolgoff. He could easily limit purchases to maintain a certain flavor to his events. Thanks for sharing the content!
I'm glad you told everyone good on you..but there's always one guy out there who will ruin it eventually and that's not anyone's fault but them for being greedy
Do not comics are rare. Pretty disappointing to know that there are warehouses full of those books.
That Ghost rider 1 with the Ghost Rider in the barcode box is a 2nd print. They're worth a little more than 1st print.
I would have ended up with several long boxes worth of comics! I LOVE 90'S COMICS! It's what I grew up on! Sooo nostalgic!
Such a great honey hole. You won the internet today!! I only saw two I needed though the marvel comics presents and Wolverine 88 (had to sell mine to cover roof replacement). I’m glad you made the video. Reminded me of mile high. Great video!!!!
crazy finds man .. btw 25:45 the upc box with the ghost rider image are 2nd print
That was a great turn out Gary had for this show. He has so many books I doubt it made a dent in his warehouse. But what he parted with flew off the shelf at those prices. Thanks for asking me to tag along. I hope he does this again in the future! Fantastic day is an understatement!
I really hope I get to attend one of these! I would love to be able to get some of the harder to get issues affordably!!
You're a good man Mike .I started watching you when you helped out a local with his comics. Keep doing what you're doing. I enjoy your collection and thanks for sharing.👍
I really wish somebody would set something like this up where I live. So many awesome books. I don't know that I could have limited myself where those Wolverine books are concerned. Great video, Mike! And don't feel guilty or bad. Comics are for everyone, not just flippers
hey man - finders keepers. It's all about the hunt. Gary did a similar sale here at the London super con about 12 years ago. It was the same - but with Bronze Age marvel. It was incredible.
This is painful to watch. Nothing like this happens in my area.
You're a good dude Mike. You can't control what others do, and word will get out regardless. I'm glad you stand by your morals. I remember a few years ago some sellers speaking in code around me when discussing where they purchased a comic book collection.. it felt slimy. I'm just here for some comic books and to have fun!
I say this with a tear in my , you're Popeye " I am what I am and that's all that I am ", A GOOD PERSON. Good conquers evil everytime!!!
Congratulations! You are a little bit lucky with the comic book collecting hobby. And they say that luck is a combination of being at the right time at the right place, with the right experienced and a pocket full of money. You had all those going for you. Im sure you'll be able to trade and make other people happy as well.
Dont worry about letting the vultures know of this, these books are extremely common and not that valuable. If some dummy wants to buy 200 copies of a book for $3 each and spend the next 10 years trying to sell them for $10 each then let 'em suffer. 😂
Whether you personally think of them as valuable or not doesn't matter. The reality is that he can easily sell all of those books over the next 6 months and probably clear 3k. The Wolverine keys alone would push a thousand in the market right now.
Looked like it was an amazing time. I'm kicking myself in the you know what for not going. Things came up and I wasn't able to make it. Watching the books being pulled almost made me sick to my stomach that I wasn't there but happy for the people that did make it and got some great deals. Hopefully next time I can make it and not have to fight a grandma or a kid for some books. Lmao. Thanks for sharing Mike. 👊🏼
bro, if i was there with you guys, i would have been grabbing one of each of those certain ones they had there, especially that jim lee's x-men #9 trying to rebuild my own x-men collections and that one always goes for too much on ebay. so, congrats on grabbing a lot of those that you did. #Congrats13K
Thank you for actually replying to my Instagram message! Your content rocks and I'm always stoked to watch a new episode!
Mike, I'm from Texas, born and raised. Comics here are so overpriced. It's hard to find a convention with great books at great prices. But I do want to hunt comics in New England areas. Keep up the great work. Your videos are inspiring. Thanks
Amazing video, great message makes great sense with explaining the process of this great video. I love trading comics, dungeons and dragons books and other stuff on the market. Wow! You did the right thing.. it’s about the community. Like I have said before love the channel. Absolutely, ecstatic your son got to fish for comics with you. My youngest son does the same with the excitement in his eyes when he pulls a comic he might enjoy.
I loved the video Mike. You did a nice job explaining why you hesitated making the video. The fun atmosphere you described, it would be great to see that preserved. Thank you for sharing your experience. It was fun seeing that type of comic experience in the wild. Those were fantastic finds.
Hello 👋 I am not here to cry, but I was watching this, and I noticed that you said you and Jack
Does your daughter still like to collect?
Have a good day.
@@johnhorchler667 she doesn’t collect but she LOVES ready graphic novels for kids
Crazy amount of duplicates, a comic store(s) went out of business it seems, great haul Mike! Congrats!
Oh wow! That's the haul of haul right there bro and for $3/book to boot! Congrats on some many awesome pick-ups! 🙂
We definitely don't have shopping opportunities like that here in New York
Insane show and haul wow. Would be cool if the comic book warehouse in Brooklyn, NY did something like this.
Nice review and cool pickups.
If you mean Joe Koch I wouldn’t be surprised if he one at does this as well as he’s very similar and of the same generation as Gary.
@@bdk1975 Yeah that's him.
Totally awesomeness Brother! Brings back My late Teenage memories of comic books! Thanks always for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍❤️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️📚📚📚📚📚✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯✨️✨️
U should get the white cover of spider-man 2099 got mine for $1 at the flea market
I want one so bad!
Amazing to get those so cheap
Great video, Mike! Ive been asked by friends before why I would, for instance, give money to a homeless person because of what they might do with it. The way I see it is that what someone does with your kind act isn’t your responsibility, but you not trying to be kind absolutely is.
As an old comic guy I believe I remember Gary Dolgoff having a comics warehouse in New York in 1970s...he was selling in bulk back then finding publisher warehouses of mint early Marvels from mid 1960s...probably for $3-5 @ back then. Now it is probably coming from comic shops going out of business and distributor left over copies. So this is not something new...its selling of excess stock and fortunately you are in an area where comics are more available. A lot of collectors used to buy up 40+ years ago...I know I bought extra copies of some books...X factor 1-10 were on my list ...:-)
Wow, what a gold mine of back issues! Watching this video made my inner child excited! I could have filled a handful of runs by the looks of it. And I completely understand the hesitation on sharing, but ultimately I agree with the reason for doing it. Great video, as always, Mike!
I'm glad you share places where you find comicbooks my son and I went to friartucks because of your video....my son also buys regularly from at last comix again from one of your videos so thank you for spreading the word it helps and makes great content
What an awesome show that is! Was able to make the 2.5 hour trip down to the comic show yesterday in Greenfield! Filled in a lot of my Spider Man runs.( 124 comics total) I had a great time at my first show and made sure to introduce myself to Magic Geeks! Was there a little later, so bummed I didn't get a chance to meet you! Maybe the next one! You are definitely one of the good guys out there! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for putting this out Mike! I fondly remember ordering from Gary Dolgoff many years ago from the Comics Buyers Guide and I'm happy to see him open up his warehouse to the public. I think if he puts a limit of 5 per book, that would prevent the greedy ones from clearing out an issue of a more expensive book. Collectors protecting their honey holes is not good for the hobby at the end of the day. There are eleventy billion comic books out there, more than enough to share! ;-)
Oh my, do they take credit cards? If so, I would be so in trouble...
They did take cards, which is another reason I had to consciously limit myself, dangerous indeed!
Love your content dude, all the way from across the pond in England...🎉❤
Unreal! Thanks for sharing the experience!
New subscriber here, is the cgc hulk 181 in the background the one you got from the basement of the man you helped to sell his comics? Thnku
@@the-third-kingdom-channel thanks for subscribing, and yes it is!
@@lunchmoneycomics nice! Thnx!
I had an awesome time. Scored tons of desirable keys.
Happy to hear!
I can't even watch this. So jealous. Talk about an awesome day
Seeing all them 90s and older comics makes me realise there still out there,hundreds and thousands of them. Just people buy them in bulk and sit on em till price is right. Nice comics Mike.
crazy haul to bad i live in canada
That sale was insane!! I’d be there for hours and grab one of everything hahaha
Yo, I live in Vancouver BC and I feel like we get hit hard with price flipping on everything. And not even for keys just comics in general. Some stores average $15 an issue or more on anything older than 1990s. Hell even just being a back issue doubles/triples the price. Its atrocious. And so many sellers have such entitled mindsets, it makes you not want to buy anything. Buying comics used to be so fun. Now its kind of a chore, with all these privileged scalpers thinking they're selling you gold by expecting you to pay $200 for a Deadpool #1. Like get out of here.
Oh snap! This is right near me, just north of Springfield! Too bad I was on a west coast vacation at the time. 😢 I’d have cleaned up
Awesome video mike. Just catching up with it now… I’m glad you found a honey hole you can share with the community. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing! 👍
Wow! Amazing. Jealous! I would have bought everything. 🤗
Man I tell you to find that many copies of all those key issues is totally insane. A great place to fill all those holes in your collection and the prices are definitely reasonable.
So that’s where you got all of those Spider-Man 2099’s from😂. That was absolutely absurd every book you were finding. Great buy!
Mike, an awesome video with SOOO many KEYS!! THye didn't FF 48 for $ 0.50 cents by any chance? Could I have a loan.. if so?
My wife requested to watch this video with me because of all the random shouting I was doing while watching 🤣 Awesome video Mike, I always enjoy living vicariously through your POV cam in a sale like that!
Haha that’s awesome!
I love watching your videos and watching you hunt. I wish you left more footage in. I watch Popcomics a lot and his videos are hours long. It's peaceful watching other people hunt.
I never find anything like that in houston.. ever. This makes me so sad, because the comic community in Houston is trash. It's very hard to collect nowadays. I'm happy for you though Mike
Oh my gosh, so many Spider-Man keys! I'm so jealous! Those are some amazing books you picked up, and it looks like such an awesome show to go to! I understand the dilemma of posting the video, but I'm very glad you did. Seems like it was a great experience for everyone there. And glad to hear everyone was sharing the comics and being fair!
If I'm not mistaken, there's another first appearance in SPIDERMAN AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS #1.....MISS LION!!! I haven't read it in years and years ...but if memory serves...and it may not... that adorable,ribbon haired pup was also in the book
That was hands down my absolute favorite cartoon, Saturday mornings couldn't come soon enough!! The "10 little super-heroes" episode was the most epic thing I'd ever seen!!! *Now I've got the music running through my head*
Where was this sale ?? !!! I would've considered flying up for something like this Mike !!!! Great finds
Can only dream of finding the wolverine deadpool cover! Never been able to own it. Not to mention the silver mcfarlane spider-man #1. Subscribed! Great video
Oh my gosh, how do you find these kind of SALES because here in South Carolina.....we have nothing like this
That was incredible. Finding things you love in the wild is what it's all about. What I've found, with sleeves rolled-up and a few hours to kill, you wouldn't believe!!
Even if folks show up with hand carts to ravage the boxes next time, you still can only look through one box at a time. There is plenty for everyone. Fun thing with sales like this is its impossible for one person to get it all even if they tried. And its good for Gary Dolgoff, they more he sold the more he will bring out next time etc.
Amazing findings, Mike! Please let me know if you wanna sell this Spider-man 2099 Issue 1. Always wanted to have this book!!! Congrats on the channel and thanks for sharing.
Talk about a promotional opening!!! I wish I was there. You know people are going to talk about this for years to come. :0
