    Always can’t stress when buying books “buy what u love”!!!!!!

    • @CoMoComicBooks
      @CoMoComicBooks  3 года назад +4

      ALWAYS! Don’t buy something just because I talk about it. I’m here to talk about books and maybe even educate a little about those books. There is zero pressure to buy any of these coming from me. I talk about a lot of books I don’t own myself and I definitely don’t have a good chunk of them in my inventory at any given time. Collect for you! Thanks for watching Erol!

    I speculated on ASM 229 several years ago. This is a huge key. We find the profound realization that the suit is sentient (and is evil) and also find it’s weaknesses (fire, sound)! Basically it is Venom. Have no idea why it’s so undervalued, and why garbage like spider-Hulk gets more love.

    Just found your channel. Late gen-xer been collecting comics since 1993. I stopped in 2013, but just getting back into light spec collecting. Man, if I had taken some time to consider the future back in the day, I had so many comics that I gave away or didn't take care of, that are going for bonkers prices now. The market is insane right now. I have a few of the books on your list. Take care.

      Welcome to the channel! I’m glad you came across it. I was really lucky in that I took a break from 97/98-05, with some dabbling here and there. ‘05 was an UNBELIEVABLE time to get back in. eBay was full of deals.

      @@CoMoComicBooks Man, I left in late 90s and tried to come back in 2000, didn't feel it so stayed away again until 07 with Civil War. During my yearly trips to conventions, I had many signed comics, Civil war variants signed by Michael Turner, Infinite Crisis issues signed by Jim Lee and other stuff I cant remember. I had them all in 7 long comic boxes in my familys garage and I had most of my signed comics/event mini series in one box. To my extreme dismay, when I recently tried to dig them all up, that box was the one I could not find. My relatives have had people in and out of the garage several times of the last 5+years. I'm hoping against hope it is in my brothers storage trailer, but I strongly doubt it. To see the prices many of these comics are going for right now, has me feeling devastated to put it mildly, I calculate losses easily in the five figure range, to say nothing of the sentimental value those comics held for me. I try not to think about it. I don't know why it never dawned on me to check on them constantly to make sure they were all there or to move them sooner. Ugh, hindsight, indeed.

      🤯 And I thought I was ahead of the curve! It’s been a $20 ($25 for SUPER clean copies) for me, for a while. I would hold off at $40, that seems a bit strong at the moment, despite the increase in interest. Last I looked you could buy a whole run of Maximum Carnage for around $100, but it looks like that is up a fair amount too.

    Very interesting video.
    I really like your viewpoint on comics.
    It seems to me that you should consider Silver Surfer #1 Volume 2 from 1982 as a way undervalued comic.
    He is a major character with many of his books getting very expensive.
    Look at the price of the 1968 #1
    The #1 Volume 2 is still a bargain with 9.8 issues very hard to find.
    Story by Stan Lee and John Byrne with amazing John Byrne art with a classic cover.
    This seems like a bronze age must featuring the 2nd #1 of Silver Surfer.
    You are the expert so your viewpoint would be appreciated.

      Good ol’ eBay. The convenience store for collectibles, where you pay for the convenience of finding whatever you want from the comfort of your couch!

    I'm beginning to see the needle move on quite a few issues of Marvel Tales. Reprints or not, sometimes a great cover can make an old tale shine like a new penny. I love it when I see an issue of Marvel Tales with a sharp McFarlane cover fetch a pretty penny.

    Hi Drew, I hope you're doing well. This comment doesn't have anything to do with what you're talking about here. There is currently a copy of Batman 251 on ebay in CGC 9.8 with a price of $35000.00! This shouldn't bother me, but I just can't believe that anybody would think this book comes close to that price! It is a great book and is the 1st Batman comic I bought in 1973 and is probably myy favorite comic ever, but it just isn't worth that kind of money! I'd appreciate your opinion Drew. Thanks and meet up the good work!yeah

    • @CoMoComicBooks

      Yeah... No doubt it’s a classic cover and a 9.8 would be cool to have, but at that price point you can pick up a major key, like a 9.6 Hulk 181 or a collectible lower grade copy of Amazing Fantasy 15. I would be a hard no on Bat251 at that price.

Copper is right on its heals now, with the more obscure or limited Copper keys already entering the stratosphere. It’s just a wild time in the hobby right now.

      👀 That’s definitely crazy overpriced for a raw copy. 9.8s are only +/-$100 right now.

      @@CoMoComicBooks that’s what my thoughts are... I’m normally a raw collector but for the extra few £££ it’s worth to but a CGC 9.8

    Hi big fan I was wondering will Carnage Mind Bomb and Carnage it’s a wonderful life comic book be a good idea to invest for venom 2????

      I don’t know that they’re necessarily good investments, but they are definitely worth collecting. I don’t see a long term likelihood of appreciation for them. Mind Bomb is already off of highs from just a year or two back. I would focus on ASM361.
