It's great watching these older videos and seeing the prices and how they've changed over the past few years and letting the fans know what they should invest in great show as always
Funny that you mentioned “having a show to watch to get educated”...that it 100% what I utilize this channel for. Very new to the game so I use every resource available to get educated...thanks!
What a crazy list. As a relatively new collector I had no idea about a lot of these books. Thanks for the all the great info. Jeff, Russ and Tom have so much knowledge it’s like going to a comic book master class. Thanks guys.
Comic Tom keep up the great work! The comic community is very appreciative for your keeping us in the know and caring about comics deeply. No matter what Bill Maher says.
Excellent list. Russ commented he has books from the 50's and 60's he can't give away. If that's the case, I would be glad to have them!! Great job as always guys.
Great video guys. I'm glad you gave a heads up on reprints and how to spot them. There is actually a Star Wars 3 35 cent on the bay right now for 20. Turns out its the reprint. Just goes to show you its always worth doing your homework before jumping the gun.
I had been hunting for Hulk 181 for about 3 years when I finally got one and I’m so happy I did. That book is getting harder to find at an affordable price!
Great list. I definitely thought Hulk 181 would have been #1, but the Star Wars #1 is an awesome pick. And I love The Office shout out. Great shirt Tom. 👍
This list is basically a list of all the comics I missed during my childhood and stuff I had and then sold 20 years ago for way less than they are worth today, thanks so much for this slap in the face, hahahaha love you guys
This is THE best video ever!!!!! I just looked in my collection and found the Captain America 212 35cent variant!!!!!! Thanks ComicTom, you're the best!!! It would make my year to get the reprint tooooooo!!!!!!
House of Secret number 92 is one of my favorites. During the mid 1980s I went to my first comic convention and bought a fine condition copy for $12. About 7 years later, I took it and Swamp Thing number 1 to a convention in Seattle and had both Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson sign them.
I have a few of these gems in my collection, I'll take a reader copy any day of the week just to hold it in my hands and go back to my childhood. Nothing beats the smell of older pulp style comics. Someone should make an air freshener called pulp, I know it sounds weird but true comic collectors know exactly what I'm talking about. Little known fact, I like to keep a copy of a Previews catalog in my car once in awhile just for that reason alone.
Section1ops I keep a short box of birnze age comics in my car with no lid, unbagged and unboarded. Gives my car that authentic wild paper smell. 😁. But a small tree that comes in that sent would be easier.
I'm glad you guys went in to detail about where these variants were sold. I went to San Antonio to look at a collection and he had all these price variants. I thought, "How did he get all these." Thanks for clearing that up.
I had this in recommended and thought it would be a fun watch... and I wasn't disappointed 😄. You guys should definitely do these videos again for current prices. The differences would be drastic.
I love this type of video!!! I hope there are more of these video's coming about the Bronze age I feel it is a era that isn't covered enough here is a idea how about Key Bronze Age Books to pick up that are more affordable and have growth Potential ? Maybe books that are still 100 bucks or less but could really take off ? Merry Christmas to all the comic family and a Happy New Year!!
Captain Janks the Bronze Age is definitely filled with potential. I like the idea and will have to put that in the rotating of videos to come. Happy Holidays to you as well.
A couple of these books have been in my personal Grail list and man was I lucky to get 2 of them. 1 recently too. ASM 129 and my fav, HOS92. Man after I got the HOS I had to get the full original BW LW run. Pure gold there. I'll show you guys on IG my fav of that run is my Swamp Thing 7 that's signed by Bernie and CGC 6.0 (but could get a huge jump with a press because I can see it hit an 8.0 with what I can see).
Don’t feel to bad Tom same thing happened to me with the Star Wars issue #1... and #2... and #3... whelp you live and you learn. Thank y’all for the great content
# Closetgeek it’s happened to all of us at some point in our collecting lives. Glad the info is out there now for so many people to see it and learn the differences.
Fantastic show! Enjoy your communication. The sinergy between you guys makes us viewers happy, of course besides the lesson we learn and information we get 😉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Another great video to keep people excited about collecting again. I was a comic collector way back in my youth but sadly I sold them. Now four years into collecting again I’m starting to get my collection up and running again. Thanks to this video and many others on this channel i feel the excitement of collecting again. Thanks comic Tom for what you do every week and sometime everyday. Much love #geekstreet101 nuf said
Comics Addiction we loved making this list for everyone. Will definitely have to do a story on the HOS 92, been getting a lot of requests for it. Thanks for the support have a great Holiday season.
Great video guys. Dude back in 2012 I was at a comic shop in Hawaii and herb trimpe was there. Some dude was selling his cgc 9.2 for 1,100$. I was like no my wife would kill me. I kick myself every time I think about it.
Great video guys. Such a great list of books. My uncle has a GSX 1, Hulk 181 and I believe Star Wars but not sure if its a 35 cent variant. But I have been trying for yrs to get at least one of these books from him. Maybe next yr when I turn 40 he'll gifted me one. lol. One can only hope and pray. lol.
I have a Star Wars #1 35 cent cover that I got from a garage sale lot a couple years ago. I put it in a box, wrapped in bubble wrap and seat belted in the back seat of the car. 2nd scariest drive home in my life, next to the first time I drove my new born home from the hospital. I thought I won the lottery because at that time I did not know about the 2nd printings. It, of course, is the diamond box 35 cent cover...
Geeky Daddy we have all been there with that book. Hopefully this info helps straighten it out for everyone. That drive home when you have your new born, is the most fearful drive home you can have. Felt the exact same way with both of my kiddos.🤣🤣🤣
The other day I was at the antique store looking through every comic, which took over 2.5 hours. I found star wars 2 and 3. For 20$ and 30$ with a quick Ebay search I was all sweet! I get home after further inspection, it's the. 25 cent versions and they are the reprints :( Win some you lose some, still cool and old. Maybe my grandkids will be able to sell them for $2.... maybe hahaha love the hunt, I'll never stop. Love the channel thanks for the knowledge.
About 15 years ago I had the chance to buy a 181 for $150. I should’ve pulled the trigger, but I was so broke at the time. I don’t have many regrets in my life, that’s one of them.
Stampede215 that’s great you have those two big keys. That House of Secrets 92 would be a fun video to do for sure. Thanks for being a part of the community.
Hi Guys thanks again for all the education. I also see tons of 35c in 50c bins here and there. I wish I ran across some of those and paid more attention to Star Wars. Some in antique stores throughout the NE. Happy Hunting!
I remember those 35 cent comics from the late 70s. Ah nostalgia. Let's see modern comics cost around $4-5 today that makes over a 🤔... 1000% increase?! WTF?! I know inflation but holy crap.
I remember when Hulk 181 in MINT shape was $400 back in the 90's. Oh my Lord how I regret not scooping them up. Even then, even back in the early 90's it was THE book to get.
Thank you so much for giving the Disney Ducks a little love in the list! Still need a US179 for the permanent collection (livin' & lovin' the hunt!) Perhaps a top 10 Carl Barks list?
Great infromation. I found the .35 cent Star Wars variants and just waiting for the deal to go through. Hoping it works out. Love the information and enjoy the show. Thanks
I remember debating whether to buy the Star Wars #1 $.35 version in the early 90's when Mile High Comics advertised it for like $25 inside comic books. I already had the 1st issue and it was just a price variant so I passed. That and skipping ASM #129 when I had purchased every other Punisher appearance back in the day are my biggest comic regrets.
I think you need to consider why you are collecting. Are you collecting for your interests or for investments? If you are a punisher fan, I can legitimately see why ASM 129 might be important. It's a legitimately important appearance for the punisher. I only really understand the SW variant as being regretful because you passed it up, but it's not like you actually passed on it after seriously considering buying it. Besides you already have the normal one.
My reply was just to relate stories from my own collecting. I collected comics from the late 70's through the early 90's and then again in the mid 2000's. I collected for fun as while I have a number of key comics, many are well read. Now I just read them digitally. The Star Wars #1 I did seriously consider because as you know it was reprinted in different formats multiple times and I have probably all of them. Star Wars was the first comic I collected and I got a number of the issues in the 3 for $.99 bags. Star Wars is my favorite movie and one of the first comics I had was the giant size movie adaption. I was big into the Punisher in the 80's and have all the other ASM appearances. The ASM #129 was probably out of my price range when I was a kid and then I lost interest. While I haven't bought comics in years I do collect original art. I like this channel because it's fun and seeing the comics that were really cheap when I was a kid now super valuable is interesting.
STAR WARS!!! Never would've guessed it would be number 1. SW is my all time favorite. Definitely a grail for me. Probably will never own it but I am proud for it to have made #1.
My favorite is that Star Wars 1 .35 copy. Can you guys do an interview with overstreet and see why they price these books so low. Thanks for the video guys. Happy holidays!!
I own 4 books on this list and they are my crown jewels for sure. ASM 129(CGC 8.0), GS Xmen 1(CGC 9.2), Hulk 181(CGC 9.0) and GL 76(CGC 9.0) which is my personal favorite out of all of those. GL 76 doesn't get enough love these days.
Easy_Nator_Gamer great books and great grades. The Green Lantern 76 has definitely had no love for several years now. Surprised it’s so high on the list still.
@@goldenageguru I think it's arguably one of the most important comics of all time. Neil and Dennis Ushered in a new era of relevant, realistic story telling and they touched on important issues at that time, something no one else was doing. I wish it was higher on the list but pretty impressive considering it's not a rare 35 cent variant, there's no 1st appearance or death and it's a Green Lantern book!
Christian Ramirez hey Christian, hopefully this info will be helpful for you when the opportunity presents itself again. Thanks for following us and being part of the community.
Great video! I love all the knowledge I am gaining and remembering having an Iron Fist 14 but it wasn't a good copy. Hulk 181 is a grail to me and probably will not get it however I do have most first appearances of the X-men since that is my favorite comic as well as Amazing Spiderman!! I actually just watched the movie Coyote Ugly where one of the characters had to give up his ASM 129 to help get the main character on stage to sing but she freaked out because of severe stage fright. Would love to see the copies of original books from this age done in depth!
brandon kief glad you are enjoying the vids, really work at keeping them informative and entertaining. Hope you get a hulk 181 at some point. That Xmen collection of yours sounds amazing. Thanks again and have a great holiday.
Michael K thanks Michael, really try to keep them entertaining and informative as possible. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel.
I'm really hoping that Nova #1 gets on the list. Ya know, he is so under rated but supposedly he, Rider or Alexander, is going to be in coming up in the MCU. We only hope.
Bought three of these books (Hulk 181, Giant size X-Men and Green lantern when they came out. Traded them in the mid 80's, happy with what I traded for but would sure love to still have them
John Tonner glad you were still happy with the trade. Not always the story when it comes down to trading. Thanks for the comment, love hearing everyone’s stories.
Uncle Scrooge 179 has been trending downwards for a years now and will drop out of the top 10 soon. Honorable mention: Scooby Doo and Flintstones #1 35¢ price variant. Both books are the rarest of the 35¢ variants. A few years ago a Flintstones CGC 1.0 sold for $1000. I think the variant Scooby Doo would blow away the 1970 gold key book if one ever goes to auction.
I would love to see a video on the House of Secrets book and the Hulk 181. I can't believe ASM 129 and GL 76 have gone up that much in the last year or two. Awesome to know I have a copy of these. Great show guys. Thanks
Sie Arnold we will definitely have to do a video on these two books. Seems like there are many requests for them. Thanks for tuning into the channel. Also congrats on owning a couple of great books.
I like these lists. I never heard of that Uncle Scrooge. Surprised Scooby-Doo was on the list but I understand it. My only gripe is $200-$300 is not affordable. I'll never get a key like HoS92 or 181 or GSX1 or ASM129 in my lifetime unless I win the lottery or get really really damn lucky at a garage sale.
I live in Memphis and it would be awesome to find some of these regional comics in the wild. There is only a hand full of shops in the city so I’m bound to find one!😂
I didn't know about that Captain America 212 35cent variant until now, super low CGC census numbers (only 8 graded)wow. Another price variant that is scarce in terms of CGC census numbers is X-Factor 6(1st full Apocalypse) Canadian price variant
@@goldenageguru Marvel Tails #1(1st spider-Ham?) Canadian Price Variant only has 6 graded on the CGC census compared to the X-Factor 6 CPV which has like 30 something graded and the ASM 252 CPV has over 250 graded. Granted the books initial value/popularity has a lot to do with the scarce census numbers of these variants but also the CPVs are not as popular or well known as the 35cent-ers lol sorry Canada. However I still grab these, especially the keys whenever I come across them. Does anyone know if these CPVs were distributed all across Canada? or was it a test thing in some Canada Provinces like the 35cent-ers?
It's great watching these older videos and seeing the prices and how they've changed over the past few years and letting the fans know what they should invest in great show as always
Funny that you mentioned “having a show to watch to get educated”...that it 100% what I utilize this channel for. Very new to the game so I use every resource available to get educated...thanks!
David Cross smart to educate yourself as much as possible. Especially when just starting out. I love the collectible, but there can be a lot to it.
What a crazy list. As a relatively new collector I had no idea about a lot of these books. Thanks for the all the great info. Jeff, Russ and Tom have so much knowledge it’s like going to a comic book master class. Thanks guys.
Devin Doty welcome to the channel and to collecting comics. Really appreciate the support and we love doing these vids for the community.
Hulk 181 , the composition on that cover is simply perfect , everything drawn n place with proper thought in mind ...
Comic Tom keep up the great work! The comic community is very appreciative for your keeping us in the know and caring about comics deeply. No matter what Bill Maher says.
Just want to say that this is my favorite cast lineup on this show and on youtube. The 3 of y'all are great together. As well as Comic Pops coming in.
Can't forget Fire Guy
That Hulk 181 reprint is Legit.
Love the show and enjoy the energy you have for comic books.
Thank you true believers.
Excellent list. Russ commented he has books from the 50's and 60's he can't give away. If that's the case, I would be glad to have them!! Great job as always guys.
Kelvin Nobles haha, I thought the same thing when he said that. 🤣

This is THE best video ever!!!!! I just looked in my collection and found the Captain America 212 35cent variant!!!!!! Thanks ComicTom, you're the best!!! It would make my year to get the reprint tooooooo!!!!!!
Joe Taylor congrats on the variant find. Don’t forget to check if the marvel comics group is printed in the color band above the title.
I love finding books you are featuring. That Cerebus,, no idea and on the hunt.

I run across cerebus books from time to time, never a low number but double digit books. I could only hope.
I had this in recommended and thought it would be a fun watch... and I wasn't disappointed 😄.
You guys should definitely do these videos again for current prices. The differences would be drastic.
Love the videos guys keep 'em coming thinking about signing up for the mystery mail call you guys seem to put some pretty rad books in there
Ryan thanks for the support Ryan. We try our hardest to put some really cool books and fare value in the MMC for everyone every month.
You guys give so much amazing information. Would love to check out some of your shops. Thanks for the info.

Jimi Jamz I will definitely bring them in for a vid.
Great video. I always enjoy watching. I have learned alot from your videos. Keep up the great videos
This was awesome who would have thought scooby doo on the list. We need to hear Jeff’s story on the autograph and finally getting the book back.

Comics Are Like Stocks. Buy low Sell High! Thanks guys. Great Video.
About 15 years ago I had the chance to buy a 181 for $150. I should’ve pulled the trigger, but I was so broke at the time. I don’t have many regrets in my life, that’s one of them.
Great video as always. Glad i own 2 of them ASM129 & HOS92. And yes, we want the HOS92 video!!

@@goldenageguru Please do a video of HOS 92! Such a great book! Keep them videos coming brotha!
I continue to enjoy your video's. KEEP up the great job! :)
Hi Guys thanks again for all the education. I also see tons of 35c in 50c bins here and there. I wish I ran across some of those and paid more attention to Star Wars. Some in antique stores throughout the NE. Happy Hunting!
Thanks for another great show. had to chuckle a bit when I saw Donald Duck and Scooby Doo in the top 10.
Fun fact: Marvel also did a test run of 30 cent variants in mid 1976, though it does seem the 35 cent variants are more sought after.
The Scrooge comic was sold in the bags at stores like Lamstons
As a kid I used to buy them all the time
I used to see a lot of those 3-baggers in Stuckys in the South.
Tony Magno great story, thanks for sharing that.
I remember those 35 cent comics from the late 70s. Ah nostalgia. Let's see modern comics cost around $4-5 today that makes over a 🤔... 1000% increase?! WTF?! I know inflation but holy crap.

Great infromation. I found the .35 cent Star Wars variants and just waiting for the deal to go through. Hoping it works out. Love the information and enjoy the show. Thanks
soulreaper4hyr hope you get it, let us know if you do, would love to hear the story.
Really appreciate this Vlog!!! Got me back on the comic run.
I remember debating whether to buy the Star Wars #1 $.35 version in the early 90's when Mile High Comics advertised it for like $25 inside comic books. I already had the 1st issue and it was just a price variant so I passed. That and skipping ASM #129 when I had purchased every other Punisher appearance back in the day are my biggest comic regrets.
I think you need to consider why you are collecting. Are you collecting for your interests or for investments?
If you are a punisher fan, I can legitimately see why ASM 129 might be important. It's a legitimately important appearance for the punisher. I only really understand the SW variant as being regretful because you passed it up, but it's not like you actually passed on it after seriously considering buying it. Besides you already have the normal one.
My reply was just to relate stories from my own collecting. I collected comics from the late 70's through the early 90's and then again in the mid 2000's. I collected for fun as while I have a number of key comics, many are well read. Now I just read them digitally. The Star Wars #1 I did seriously consider because as you know it was reprinted in different formats multiple times and I have probably all of them. Star Wars was the first comic I collected and I got a number of the issues in the 3 for $.99 bags. Star Wars is my favorite movie and one of the first comics I had was the giant size movie adaption. I was big into the Punisher in the 80's and have all the other ASM appearances. The ASM #129 was probably out of my price range when I was a kid and then I lost interest. While I haven't bought comics in years I do collect original art. I like this channel because it's fun and seeing the comics that were really cheap when I was a kid now super valuable is interesting.
Great info and show been watching go for long time just haven’t commented keep up great work
The Walking Jedi thanks so much for being a member of the community for so long and supporting the channel. We really appreciate it.
Would love to even just see a 35 cent variant Star Wars #1 in person. Greta video as always!
i bought the crappy reprint thinking it was original :(
Thanks for dropping some great “Knowledge” on us today👏. I had no idea what to look for on those $0.35 Variant👍
DiscoveryBayComics thanks for supporting the channel. Glad you were able to take something from it.
Love the vid, Tom. Do you think Hulk 181 is going to continue to rise or will the bubble burst?!?
Great Video. I really enjoyed watching. Are pence editions worth anything?
Can’t wait for the Swamp Thing and Hulk 181 videos to come with Jeff
STAR WARS!!! Never would've guessed it would be number 1. SW is my all time favorite. Definitely a grail for me. Probably will never own it but I am proud for it to have made #1.
So many books I want but will probably never get lol. Thank you guys for putting these videos together it’s always fun.
Mr Garrell thanks for being a part of the community.
Jeffrey Itkin thank you. This community is so amazing.
My favorite is that Star Wars 1 .35 copy. Can you guys do an interview with overstreet and see why they price these books so low. Thanks for the video guys. Happy holidays!!
Comics And Culture don’t know if we can do that interview or not but I can discuss it with Overstreet during Con season in 2019 and see what they say.
I own 4 books on this list and they are my crown jewels for sure. ASM 129(CGC 8.0), GS Xmen 1(CGC 9.2), Hulk 181(CGC 9.0) and GL 76(CGC 9.0) which is my personal favorite out of all of those. GL 76 doesn't get enough love these days.
Easy_Nator_Gamer great books and great grades. The Green Lantern 76 has definitely had no love for several years now. Surprised it’s so high on the list still.
@@goldenageguru I think it's arguably one of the most important comics of all time. Neil and Dennis Ushered in a new era of relevant, realistic story telling and they touched on important issues at that time, something no one else was doing. I wish it was higher on the list but pretty impressive considering it's not a rare 35 cent variant, there's no 1st appearance or death and it's a Green Lantern book!
You all are great! Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge.
Awesome informative video gentlemen.
A whole video on House of Secrets 92? Yes please!
I would love to get my hands on anything in this list but so far no luck. Keep up the amazing work.
Another great episode fellas!! Thanks!
Nothing makes me sadder than knowing I saw one of these at a flea market for $1 and didn't grab it because I didn't know
Christian Ramirez hey Christian, hopefully this info will be helpful for you when the opportunity presents itself again. Thanks for following us and being part of the community.
know your keys and dont give up!
When you said $1,600 for Scrooge, my head almost exploded.
Great video! I love all the knowledge I am gaining and remembering having an Iron Fist 14 but it wasn't a good copy. Hulk 181 is a grail to me and probably will not get it however I do have most first appearances of the X-men since that is my favorite comic as well as Amazing Spiderman!! I actually just watched the movie Coyote Ugly where one of the characters had to give up his ASM 129 to help get the main character on stage to sing but she freaked out because of severe stage fright. Would love to see the copies of original books from this age done in depth!
brandon kief glad you are enjoying the vids, really work at keeping them informative and entertaining. Hope you get a hulk 181 at some point. That Xmen collection of yours sounds amazing. Thanks again and have a great holiday.
Love these lists and the history you guys present it with
Michael K thanks Michael, really try to keep them entertaining and informative as possible. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch the channel.
I'm really hoping that Nova #1 gets on the list. Ya know, he is so under rated but supposedly he, Rider or Alexander, is going to be in coming up in the MCU. We only hope.
Fire Davis 🤞
In case no one else mentioned it, Louise Simonson is the model for the woman on the cover of "House of Secrets!"
And away we go....25 minutes of hotness... where do i sign?
surprised iron man 55 didn't hit the list.
Bought three of these books (Hulk 181, Giant size X-Men and Green lantern when they came out. Traded them in the mid 80's, happy with what I traded for but would sure love to still have them
John Tonner glad you were still happy with the trade. Not always the story when it comes down to trading. Thanks for the comment, love hearing everyone’s stories.
Yes, I’d LOVE to see a video about
H. O. S. #92! Bernie Wrightson is My favorite Artist, so seeing a video about said Comic Book is a must!
:€)
The info in this video is golden 👌,thanks guys keep it up !
Uncle Scrooge 179 has been trending downwards for a years now and will drop out of the top 10 soon. Honorable mention: Scooby Doo and Flintstones #1 35¢ price variant. Both books are the rarest of the 35¢ variants. A few years ago a Flintstones CGC 1.0 sold for $1000. I think the variant Scooby Doo would blow away the 1970 gold key book if one ever goes to auction.
I would love to see a video on the House of Secrets book and the Hulk 181. I can't believe ASM 129 and GL 76 have gone up that much in the last year or two. Awesome to know I have a copy of these. Great show guys. Thanks
Sie Arnold we will definitely have to do a video on these two books. Seems like there are many requests for them. Thanks for tuning into the channel. Also congrats on owning a couple of great books.
@@goldenageguru I can't wait. Thanks.
Droppin knowledge..love it fam
Fantastic Four #110 green printing error is undervalued, IMO
Conan0Brady that is a cool book and a good side note to mention of a book to keep an eye out for.
That House of Secrets cover would be a dope t-shirt
I like these lists. I never heard of that Uncle Scrooge. Surprised Scooby-Doo was on the list but I understand it. My only gripe is $200-$300 is not affordable. I'll never get a key like HoS92 or 181 or GSX1 or ASM129 in my lifetime unless I win the lottery or get really really damn lucky at a garage sale.
Had that House of Secrets, then it was stolen by my friend. Loved that cover! Love the info, thank you guys.
I live in Memphis and it would be awesome to find some of these regional comics in the wild. There is only a hand full of shops in the city so I’m bound to find one!😂
JackAttack561 good luck on the hunt. 👍
I cant wait to get the mail call from you guys i just signed up !!!
Robert Moreno awesome Robert, thanks for helping support the channel. Enjoy the mail call.
And...leave it to Russ to smack down Ryan Reynolds with a back-handed compliment! Let's hear it for damning praise!
I ONLY know how to damningly praise. I can't tell if it's a character flaw or an asset 😂😂
Russ Bright 🤣🤣🤣
Demon in a bottle is still my fav bronze age book, its never leaving my box
I didn't know about that Captain America 212 35cent variant until now, super low CGC census numbers (only 8 graded)wow. Another price variant that is scarce in terms of CGC census numbers is X-Factor 6(1st full Apocalypse) Canadian price variant
Easy_Nator_Gamer thanks for sharing the info on the X-Factor 6, I’ll have to look into that. 👍
@@goldenageguru Marvel Tails #1(1st spider-Ham?) Canadian Price Variant only has 6 graded on the CGC census compared to the X-Factor 6 CPV which has like 30 something graded and the ASM 252 CPV has over 250 graded. Granted the books initial value/popularity has a lot to do with the scarce census numbers of these variants but also the CPVs are not as popular or well known as the 35cent-ers lol sorry Canada. However I still grab these, especially the keys whenever I come across them. Does anyone know if these CPVs were distributed all across Canada? or was it a test thing in some Canada Provinces like the 35cent-ers?
Really cool list. Surprised on some of these! Cheers
Very informative guys I’ll must check all my Star Wars and my two friends Star Wars. Thanks guys!!
The Narrator good luck, hope you have some legitimate .35 centers.
Amazing to watch this four years later with all theee major keys so much more
Great, great video. All these comics on the list are on the wish list that I know I will never be own.
View From Row B thanks for watching. Hope you get lucky and fall into some of these books at some point. 👍
Kicking myself over over a 181 5.0 that was complete for $800 that I passed on last year.
cam adams hate that feeling, it happens to all of us.
