  • This past summer I found a great comic collection in a neighbor’s basement, and promised to help him sell it; well that time has come!
    I head over to do a final inventory of the collection and find yet more comics I hadn’t seen before… including another big key comic I couldn’t live without! Check out the video to see what I found and how we plan to sell the collection!

    Some people misunderstood the idea...you don't need to own all the toys....the idea is to PLAY WITH all the toys! You're doing the guy a huge solid and you get to handle pieces of comic book history...what's the down side here?? It's obvious you love this stuff, I love it too...being able to go through a massive amount of huge books, obscure Indi stuff..you tell me,what's funner than that??;? AND you're honest as it gets about it,not your comic books...I think it's awesome for the both of you, have a great show!

    Ah Happiness! A man with no hang ups about his hobby is a happy man. I still look at a Spider-Nan cover and go wow! I still look at a Scooby Doo cover and crack a smile. I can see you slabbing you Uncanny X-man to preserve it, which is great, it is a great slice of comic history, Never apologise for being an outstanding human being, we need a whole bunch more of you in the world.

    I totally understand your excitement in looking through comicbook collections.
    My brother in law had a collection from his father's and I eagerly helped him organize, bag/board, and value them. I asked to do this free of charge without asking for any comics.
    Just like yourself I'm a Marvel fan, not so much DC and he had a mixed bag of both I recognized the valuable bronze/silver age marvel(there was the amazing spider-man #122 in NM, death of Gwen Stacey iconic cover) most DC issues I had to look up to see if there were any key issues.
    Needless to say, I get a kick in helping out looking at an old collection. I Feel like a comic book archeologist lol

    It’s really nice of you to help this guy. Those who are giving you grief about buying all of the better books I would ignore those people. It seems you are paying him a very fair price for everything you bought. You should get some reward for putting in the work helping him out. Great price for that first juggernaut. $200 for that grade seems very fair.

    I had a similar situation with my uncle many years ago where he gifted me a bunch of his old, beat up comics for helping him move. I grabbed some GREAT ones, including a copy of the same X-Men #12. It’s one of the gems of my PC, even though it’s low grade.

    Awesome video as always mike. It's really cool that you're helping this guy with his collection. Are you going to film this event for his comics? That's pretty sweet that you got the first appearance of the juggernaut for a good deal. Are you going to see if Comic Spa can work his magic or leave this one as is? I went to a somewhat local comic con and I finally got Uncanny X-men #129. There were two booths that wanted A higher price. I just need Uncanny X-men #130 to complete my Dark Phoenix saga. I had the chance to buy it but with the hype of Taylor Swift rumors, the price has gone up. I also got a king size X-men #4, X-men days of the future:doomsday #1, and Eerie Magazine #13. Love the old horror magazines. Keep on collecting Mike.

    We must be bruthas from different muthas! I'm like you because my comic collection is MY comic collection. I have books that appeal to me and I really enjoy the collection. Some books won't command a hefty price tag and that's okay with me. I don't collect them to make money on them, because I'm leaving them for my children to keep or sell once I'm gone. If they make a $100 bucks on Daredevil #1, then that's $100 bucks they didn't have before. However, I will haunt them if they give it away at that price! LOL Thanks for all you do!

Hope he makes a ton of cash. Looks like you're having a good time as well.
