With all the recent nastiness between RUclips comic book pundits, you guys are always a breath of fresh air. You're having fun, collecting for the right reasons, and are cool. Thanks for the videos.
You guys rock Dave and Rachel! A very entertaining and informative video -- thank you for posting. At the end you asked for questions, so I have wondered this week, are you guess surviving the atmospheric river and bomb cyclone? Wishing you well and happy to see you both 😊
So questions: 1. What is the brand of the new white eraser you received from a friend? 2. Would you please do another updated set of clean/press videos? 3. Are you open to doing a long-form interview/conversation about comics, collecting and the industry as a whole?
Excited for the new video, always enjoy your takes/talks on the hobby. Even more excited for the Whatnot show, the Instagram shows are a bit intimidating to jump into for me. Hope it goes well and we see more content soon.
1972. I was born then I remember seeing stuff like this. Wow nice pick up bro. Nice pick up, detective for the pistol. I agree I totally agree anytime Batman has a gun that shoots bullets.🤜🤛 well done, bro!!!!!
I know a guy who's been sitting on a raw Showcase #4 since the 90's. It's probably in the Very Fine range. He has no desire to sell it. He has the same attitude a lot of us collectors have: "If I sell it, I'll never find another copy".
Great stuff. I have all the Bronze Age books you showed and am a HUGE Kamandi fan . Also have a few of the DC Super Pacs but can’t bring myself to open any of them , mostly because I have all the books in single form lol Thanks for sharing 😊
I recently went to Grit City Comic Show in Tacoma and one of the dealers brought out a raw Showcase #4 to show me. We may have seen the same book. 😂 It looked VERY nice.
Another thing to consider for American books produced before 1941 is families donated A LOT of books and newspapers to the armed services paper drives.
You can never go wrong with buying a book at cover price. I would never spend $100 on a book in the hopes it goes up to $200 unless I knew for sure there was a movie or TV show involved. But with modern books like Absolute Batman or Ultimate Spiderman, you can buy these books at cover price! A great example is Ultimate Wolverine which comes out in January, you have a chance to buy a book you knonw will be worth 8-10 times what you paid for! Books like that is what you should be buying.
That's not really true. Most books were aimed at adults. Take a look at the ads in the romance books. Robin was introduced to bring in younger readers.
I bought a couple boxes of comics mixed early bronze and silver age from a person who bought from wearhouse cleanings and managed to get a Wally Wood comic from late 1960's issued for PX sales only but was pulled. Took a look and found a story in the back with a horse named Agnew so knew what happened. only 1800 printed.
I've bought boxes of newer comics for $1 or less .People are tired of so many variety covers that may or may not be worth something. i 'd rather collect bronze and back in decent shape.
As for the Spidey Super Stories , was always a fan and had the chance to buy a full run or raw @ 9.4 or above back in the early days of ebay . I got out bid by a guy from the USA as I had to factor in P&P costs to England , but think they went for a total of $500 which was no small potatoes 25 years ago given the exchange rate . Never seen a collection come anywhere close to that since.
Oh, and welcome back. I've missed your weekly videos. Here's a question: is there a way to buy from you that doesn't involve claim sales? For example, could someone contact you with a list of wants and buy directly that way? Thanks.
I bought a HoS 92 in a CGC 9.2 in May of 2023 off of eBay. I paid (in total, w/state tax) $9,200. I am NOT rich and that book took everything I had, but for me- the biggest Wrightson fan on earth- I HAD to have THAT BOOK in a 9.2, because NM- is my sweet spot and that was my ULTIMATE BOOK TO HAVE. Within months that book, that I "bought" for $8,500, was selling for $6,500. If I sold that book at auction today I'd be LUCKY (after eBay/Heritage/Comic Link/etc. fees) to get 6 grand in my pocket, meaning that within MONTHS what I thought was an unimpeachable classic that would at LEAST not go DOWN has me out 1/3rd of my buy-in, and who knows how much more it'll go down from here. I figured that at the LEAST it would retain its value but nope: even the mother of all Bronze Age books tanked on me- and for reasons I may never know.
I haven't paid attention to to prices for that book, but it's relatively easy to find until you get into the nosebleed grades. I just buy what I like with no expectation of getting my money back. It is very difficult to break even in this hobby if you target books on your want list. The guys who make money on books are the ones who throw lowball bids at many, many books and see which ones stick.
Always excited to see new vids from you kids. I learn so much as a novice reseller. As someone who has restrained from submitting to CGC for a bit of time now, for all the reasons, I'm starting to really lean more CBCS. I feel they are a better product with more traditionally consistent grading. Do you see a moment when their slabs finally start demanding the same market value as CGC?
I like the Ka-Zar character too and its always fun to hear how different people pronounce his name. On the very first page of X-Men 10 it says pronounced “KAY-sar” but of course not everyone has read that and it evolved its own variety of pronunciations, all of which are cool
How about the market crash of 1996-97 when marvel went bankrupt. I worked for galactic heroes in Dunedin Florida back in 1993 and the breaking of Batman's back had just come out. The lines on new comic day were around the block. My boss had a feeling there was going to be a crash and sold the store right before it happened. Wonderwater bought the store and closed it down a year later
i have thousands of comics and records i want to sell and all i've been hearing for the last six months is crash this and crash that. I'm starting to feel like Charlie Brown...
Dave's comment on CGC, "I've been waiting to submit to CGC, but..." hit hard. I finally forced myself to get some books graded just in time for their latest controversy to hit. Proud I did it, finally, but debating if I just sell the raw books or get them graded first. :|
I completely agree with what cgc said to me in email graded book 9.8 value 300. By cgc and it got same grade by pgx cbcs and egs it should be value same as cgc., Cgc said people buy books not cases and company name logo on case make value of books it’s books them selfs make books valuable as emgo316 says options are good there is no right and wrong go with company you like feel comfortable with grade books I had no problem using pgx, cgc I refuse to use cgc high prices take to long months to year get books back , cbcs have no experience with them people have options send books get graded there is no right and wrong those books should be valued same regardless who graded them based on condition and grade nothing else, Ever since cgc had there problems cgc has been little generous with grading I saw cgc grading book that got 9.8 you can clearly see big bent on corner that bent will bring it down less 9.8 cgc grade that book 9.8 on RUclips
Oh, and love that Kamandi 1. I know I’m in the minority but I love that title! Probably because I bought issue 1 off the newsstand when I was a kid. Those always hold a special place in the heart. I bought at least three #1s during that period, Kamandi, Doc Savage and Conan. Only the Conan is worth any money but I love them all equally 😂
Actually, the Kamandi is going for about $1300 in 9.8. That’s definitely something. My opinion is that vintage keys in the silver age to current still have room to drop.
Hey guys, great video, how do you determine the value of a book for submission? Do you go grade price minus 30% or do you go off last sale graded at the grade you think it would get? Also are you seeing an increase in the market for foreign books? Cheers Logan New Zealand
Gee I have missed you guys. I really enjoyed your show today. Since you asked for questions, I will give you a couple. I have a House of Mystery 217 in a 9.8 universal and a Conan the B. #1 in a 9.2 Conserved grade ( coveres lightened but look great). what do you think they would bring at, say a Collectors Comics auction? Is that the kind of question you were looking for?
Did you guys spell Collectibles wrong on purpose? Changing subjects though, I was going to say you're better off collecting vintage pipe tobacco. Tins from the 2000's to the 70's are wildly sought after, and then you bust out The Hobbit. So cool!
I stopped reading comics when they went up to 15 cents - too expensive. I had a box of comics that my brother and I and our friends literally read the covers off. I find it very amusing that people see these as investments.
It amazes me that people buy the new comic book day dross. Either it is fomo or a case of a lot of disposable income. That money could go towards a grail.
Hi Guys , Great vid , Would love to hear your experiences of whatnot , thought many times of trying it but being in the UK , and that Ebay have waived all their fees , just not sure about it . However individually listing 30000 comics is so very daunting.
@@deerichardz Based in the UK the no selling fees has made a huge difference. before I would have said only if you want to get rid of a lot of stock without much fuss and are not overly concerned with price. Now that I keep 100% of the final value sale I would say yes. Its still a buyers market but in an area that has very few LCS & very small Comicons, ebay is a simple to use, wide reaching tool .
The brave and the bold issue was Adams. The house of mystery 174 isn’t Adam’s but a lot of people have mistaken it as a Neal adams cover. Not to mention the brave and the bold book looks like a different angle of the house of mystery 174!
The best recollection at DC for House of Mystery 174's cover was Carmine Infantino did the layout, Joe Orlando did the pencils and George Roussos inked it.
So I’ve been collecting 9.2-9.8 WP gold key books George Wilson covers, I’ve noticed those books are really starting to go up in price. How do you feel about the Gold Key collectors, do we have many new collectors jumping in on these causing the price to really sky rocket, you feel there’s been a switch in who’s collecting or they’re just becoming more and more rare in grade?
Hopefully someday there will be a comic book RUclips channel that focuses on Gold Key/Dell/Harvey/Archie/Independent comics. There seem to be hundreds of channels that focus on Marvel/DC superhero books, thats where the speculation game is played. Gold Key comics has recently attempted to re-enter the comic book community but hardly any RUclipsrs seemed to care.
@ I agree, some great artwork, decent stories all around really cool era in comics! I have a bunch of Magnus really high grade books and the Space Family books too, just a couple titles that are really good.
@ I really don’t collect funny animal comics from GK, Mighty Samson is a good one, the Boris Karloff series is great. Just a lot of diversity between genres with GK.
I must ask this question in the next coming decades is anyone going to want any book from the golden era, I mean are your kids really gonna want these golden era books? I really feel like outside of marvel and some DC books from the silver age most of these other books aren’t gonna be worth anything.
I know you're asking the hosts and not me, but for what it's worth: in my view, the Golden Age horror comics will remain desirable. Our culture (especially comic book culture) loves darkness and violence, so I can see all those gruesome covers attracting buyers decades from now.
People are rediscovering Golden Age books. They've never seen anything like them. Romance comics. Good girl art comics. Archie comics. War comics. Horror comics. Especially the folks who are bored of superhero comics.
It would be the time if in fact prices were dropping but in fact they are not on EBay. They are in fact overpriced and mostly not selling. People have to check a price guide before bidding or buying as the unscrupulous sellers are out in force on EBay. One seller is selling facsimile covers. Those are covers with no book in between, just a cover I was duped by the word facsimile. Another seller calls himself Variant in his seller name, I thought I was buying a variant, it wasn’t . Then there is the guy selling facsimile digital copies. Bought 5 of those for a loss of 10 bucks. What is a facsimile digital copy? Yet another seller was selling something but I could not understand what.
The pac’s have never been worth as much as the individual books. If you sell comics you’ll make more money opening them, and pressing them. I have a pak even older than the one he opened, it has 12 centers. I haven’t opened it but I’m pretty sure the individual books are worth more than the pak is.
@@stephanholder6240 In every collectables market, some items remain desirable even as the general market continues to slide. This even happens with brown furniture, china, etc. Even so, it IS surprising how much the value of AF 15 has dropped recently.
With all the recent nastiness between RUclips comic book pundits, you guys are always a breath of fresh air. You're having fun, collecting for the right reasons, and are cool. Thanks for the videos.
Always a pleasure watching and listening to you both discuss comics in general. So nice to have you back🖖
I remember having that Dective comic. Of course i was a reader back then. Digging the Coachella poster. Glad to see yall back.
I thought you guys disappeared. Glad to see ya back.
Glad to see you guys uploading again!
1:00 i could never cut one of those open. Seems ... unethical. 🤣 Jesus Christ, look at the cover gloss on that Detective.
Pls do not EVER buy a comic book as an "investment"
It's been awhile, good to see u 2 back
Love learning from you guys. Thanks for video and your honesty.
Thanks for watching!
Kamandi 1 in super high grade? Great score! Love that book.
You guys rock Dave and Rachel!
A very entertaining and informative video -- thank you for posting.
At the end you asked for questions, so I have wondered this week, are you guess surviving the atmospheric river and bomb cyclone?
Wishing you well and happy to see you both 😊
Even bad weather here is pretty mild. Thanks David!
So questions:
1. What is the brand of the new white eraser you received from a friend?
2. Would you please do another updated set of clean/press videos?
3. Are you open to doing a long-form interview/conversation about comics, collecting and the industry as a whole?
Yes to all. Email me with more information about the interview.
Your one poster keeps making me think "FAA Fighters" which makes me laugh. Thanks for the informative video.
Excited for the new video, always enjoy your takes/talks on the hobby. Even more excited for the Whatnot show, the Instagram shows are a bit intimidating to jump into for me. Hope it goes well and we see more content soon.
1972. I was born then I remember seeing stuff like this. Wow nice pick up bro. Nice pick up, detective for the pistol. I agree I totally agree anytime Batman has a gun that shoots bullets.🤜🤛 well done, bro!!!!!
Excited to see a new video and even more excited to have you on whatnot!
Welcome to Whatnot, you got yourself follower!!!!👍👍👍👍
Cannot wait to see you all on Whatnot!
It’s only slabs that are overvalued, volatile and then crash. Keep them raw! ✌️💪
I know a guy who's been sitting on a raw Showcase #4 since the 90's. It's probably in the Very Fine range. He has no desire to sell it. He has the same attitude a lot of us collectors have: "If I sell it, I'll never find another copy".
Welcome to whatnot! Hope to catch one of your shows since i miss the claim shows! Great video!
Great stuff. I have all the Bronze Age books you showed and am a HUGE Kamandi fan . Also have a few of the DC Super Pacs but can’t bring myself to open any of them , mostly because I have all the books in single form lol Thanks for sharing 😊
Happy to be back and watch an episode. Be well.
Glad to see you guys back!!!
Congrats on the first whatnot live
Love "Youze Guz" wonderful show and always interesting. See ya on WhatNot!
I recently went to Grit City Comic Show in Tacoma and one of the dealers brought out a raw Showcase #4 to show me. We may have seen the same book. 😂 It looked VERY nice.
I can't wait to see the books you have on what not. I'm a bronze, copper and a little silver collector so fingers crossed something for me...

I read Showcase #4. The local bookstores sold books like that for half the cover price. I was a kid so I could only afford the old ones.
Loved this thank you
I remember K-Mart usually had a good selection of the 3 packs (back in the day)
Great stuff guys!
Wow you got a lost in space comic back there I did not know that they made comics I do now
Dave should create his own grading company.
I’d submit to him all day long!

A friend of mine who sell at convention's has a Superman #1 Raw. He hates grading comics
I know that many collectors don’t believe in slabbing. If you can grab a picture of that book I’ll put it on my show! Email it if you can get one.
@futurepastvintagecollectables I will see him in December plus he has the Batman to.

Julie Bell Boris frazetta amongst the few awesome artists
The best parallel cover was Todd McFarland the Spider-Man but yes they make too many covers of the same tighten up

I slabbed my amazing spiderman 700 came back a 9.0 just tp authenticate the signature even though I personally met him and had him sign it
So the title was is now the time to buy vintage. You’re saying no but you only gave examples of comics that went up nicely. I’m a little confused.
Oh, and love that Kamandi 1. I know I’m in the minority but I love that title! Probably because I bought issue 1 off the newsstand when I was a kid. Those always hold a special place in the heart.

getting a Canadian golden age Captain Anerica number 67 graded and might be a 3.0 got done at fan expo in August inToronto.
