    Love the new books! One thing I've gathered from watching you hunt is that the journey can be as important as the destination. The books you acquired are a steal! Thanks for sharing.

    The flea market was packed. To bad you couldn’t check out more. I was there for awhile and still felt like I should have checked out more or gone through more. More to come.

    I love the 80s Moon Knight and have the full set. A couple of my faves to just read are #29 & 30, where he fights Werewolf by Night. Black covers so kind of hard to find in high grade but really cool in any condition

    $10 Egyptian bust… seem pretty good, and fun! Good price on the books. I too enjoy you talking about them more as it’s nice to hear someone passionately talking about something of interest instead of just $. As for LMC portion, honestly, it doesn’t matter much to me, but I do appreciate at least the occasional purchases like that.

    Great vid Mike. Your flea markets look awesome. Did not notice any difference with the audio but I am using a laptops tinny speaker, so it's not surprising.
    I cannot believe you passed on that copy of the Beano, over here they are revered. There is nothing better to line the bottom of
    the cat's litter tray...

    Hey Mike, like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, this video wasn't too long or too short, but just right 🙂 I appreciate you taking more time to show us around the flea market, and then spending the latter half of this video reviewing the books you picked up. Yes, there were only 3 books but they were informative and entertaining. Thanks!

    Your new microphone does give better audio. But I will say as a musician and someone who has dabbled in RUclips video making, it's not a huge difference because your old setup sounded good, too. I'm actually surprised that you were getting such high quality audio and video with just a cell phone before. So congrats on the new audio gear, enjoy using it, and keep up the good work!

    I'm still using a G3 phone (or is that 3G?), no internet connection and calls and texts only. Everyone I know with a more modern phone complains endlessly about scams, the scammers don't bother with me and my old tech.
    I agree about the Daredevil era when he was Natasha, definitely a different tone to earlier and later stories.
    The often overlooked Bendis Moon Knight series is particularly interesting for the way Bendis handles MK's multiple personalities.
    Three choice comics Mike, you can't go wrong with those.

    When I began reading stories through oversized collected editions I never went back into reading floppies. To me, my floppy comics are nostalgic collectibles, they are more like a relic of remembering the past. I also dont read floppies that are old and vintage because of the aged paper quality, it's too delicate. I read comics through collected editions now, especially the oversized ones, they look SO MUCH BETTER. I would recommend starting at Giant Size X-men: A Tribute to Wein and Cockrum Gallery Edition.

    Good Evening Mike
    I agree with the comment below I would love to see videos on you other collectiona, but I understand you are a very busy man, That wall behind you is looking great, no more room left. And the Mike is working just fine, And some of comics I glimpsed were fantastic. But there were worth a few dollars, so I see why you passed them by.
    Next question is why not feature some of your guitar work on your hunting Videos or some keyboard work?
    Cheers Al The Goldkeyfourcolorkidownunda

    Moon Knight was a favorite until he started to get so steeped in magic. I was all-in on Marvel doing their own Batman. It was hard for me to follow the personalities as a kid but the bouncing around was also intriguing.
