- In this video I purchase a giant pile of 260+1990s comics for $60. I show you what was in the comic book collection and the process I go through to sort it out to make it easier for me to fully sort it out later on.

"If you think you know everything then you have no room to learn." Great quote. Great video!
Thank you, and yeah I always think that way, because I love to learn something new every day. If you close off your mind thinking you know everything you will stop learning.
I don't sort Marvel/DC but I tend to do a rough sort into A-M and N-Z, then sort within each letter. Helps break things up! Great vid - thanks!
it really does not matter how you do it, as long as you break it into smaller parts through a simple sort, so the amount of times you handing each book id diminished overall.
Beautiful professionalism at it's finest...🤘🏼💯✔️
I try!
I love it! A suitcase of comics! Fun upload my friend!
Its always fun you never know what will be in the suitcase lol Someone brought in a suitcase of silver age Marvel comics 10 years ago and at the time I did not feel confident buying them and kind of regret not buying that suitcase lol now I buy every suitcase full not matter what it is haha
Fascinating to see how you do business. More videos like this please!!!
You got it!
Cool video. I'll catch up with you on the next one. Good night
Thank you :)
Love this channel learning so much. I have been intimidated about buying a collection you explained it very simple. I’ve been dreading organizing my collection so thank you for the sorting tip. Keep up the good work.
I was inspired by this video ruclips.net/video/WaNLJf8xzC4/видео.html its a really good way to think about sorting stuff.
Might not have a lot of $ value, but they're worth their weight in content for your take on sorting your books! Thanks Shawn! (Hope I spelled your name right)
Yup, the main reason I bought the collection was not about the value of the books but so I could use it as an opportunity to show how I have been processing new collections. I think that is very helpful to many collectors. Sean is how I spell my name.
Great video fun time.
Glad you enjoyed it
Cool sorting method. I think you paid a fair price as most of these will be hard to move.
I started sorting everything I buy like this as soon as I get it and it really has sped up the process so much so I wanted to share. Yeah, I had to double check values after someone said I lowballed and tons of this stuff does not sell on ebay or might sell $2 for a lot of 5 or $5 for a lot of 10 etc. I just have to take into account the labor cost when buying a collection like this. If it will take 20-30 hours to make $200-$300 on a collection I just cant spend that much since it wont even cover the cost of labor etc.
Your are very knowledgable great video
Thanks a lot
I like the shots of the store. And the sorting tips. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I discovered your channels a few days ago and have been hooked. If I lived in NY I'd come take those JLE's off your hands for a fair price in a heartbeat. Also, you and I share a deep love for the Bronze Age. I think we're about the same age, so Bronze comics are the first comics we ever became aware of. That alone makes 'em special, but the art and stories are so good and unique to that era, which is also very special to guys our age. Anyway I love your content and look forward to your future uploads.
Bronze age comics are some of my favorite, just great quality art and stories with very little gimmick. Welcome to the channel happy you found my videos.
Thanks for sharing your sorting method. Some cool covers in the collection.
Thanks for watching!
You have a good system to sort the comics, & i enjoyed the mini tour of the store at the end of this video.
Yeah I just started sorting like this a few months ago and it has sped up sorting so much faster then I use to. Simple sort I think is the scientifically fastest way to sort stuff so it makes sense it works.
The Marvel universe Handbook 17 you put in there is Jim Lee's first Marvel interior... predating Alpha Flight 51... maybe undervalued?
Did not know that, looks like it only sells for $1-$2 so it is low value, but that is very cool to know.
Fun stack of books! The Superman / Gen 13 book has a little value
Yeah that one was not on my radar, I ended up giving them more for that comic today when they brought in another batch.
West Coast Avengers 44 is 1st John Walker cameo.... I think. Might be a $5 - 10 book
Good to know, with the Thunderbolts announcement I think his stuff will pop a little.
@@pop-comics I think most people are not really aware of it, but with Key Collector App, someone will see it and want to pick it up. Thanks for the great content!
Yeah not really on my raider, I am still use to the whole run being dollar bin books haha so many have value now in the last year or so its crazy
You more than doubled your money. Loved that Avengers 337 cover. Sersi should have worn that costume in the movie🤤
You have to add in the cost of bags and boards and labor costs when calculating returns. So I might more the double my money but only make $10 an hour doing so, aka not a huge return. That would have been a hot outfit haha
I have that Marvel Superhero collection with moon Knight and the other ones on the cover had that one. I like it.
They are fun books.
Very good information on how to sort a collection. Sadly I haven't yet reached a stage where I acquire an entire collection to need to sort that many books but one day I hope to be able to.
One day you will get there, collections are always out there, you just need to hunt and have some cash ready to buy.
That Superman Gen 13 crossover has a little bit of value. 15 to 30 dollars depending.
Yeah a few people pointed that out, good to know. One that you could easily skip over if you did not know.
My sorting methods is a multi round method, Similar to yours, but I will use piles on a table, so I am glad I am not the only one that does this. I will separate any standouts as I go.
1) Publisher (DC/Marvel/Other)
2) Alphabetical range (A-E/F-J/etc) (if there is a dominate title then they get separated out here)
3) By title
4) by issue
Sounds like a good method. As long as its pretty simple and quick each round you will sort way faster.
Great video - the behind-the-scenes insights into your comic book system are fascinating. Algorithm comment. Awesome video
Thank you, wanted to share the way I have been sorting comics, it really has sped up the process for me a ton.
Great content. I know you know this but it’s best to get all the comics on top of the table if you can. People will go under the table for action figures but not always comic books as it takes longer to go through a comic book box. I do like that you do not have the boxes of comics jammed packed. That is something dealers do and people will mostly skip those totally full boxes
Yeah that is why I try to get the best selling issues on the top, everything else is overstock or cheaper tiles underneath. But yeah I like to keep at least a fist width of space in front of the boxes so you can go through the box, when its over stuffed its just not fun to dig.
I'm trying to collect the Green Lanterns New 52 run right now. Since it's a newer book it might be easier to get the whole run.
Yes that run should be supper affordable, I see them often in dollar bins.
It’s cool seeing your store! I’m definitely coming by next time I’m in town.
That would be awesome, I do tons of store videos on my main channel.
@@pop-comics you have another channel?
Yeah Pop Fun To Play is my main channel
@@pop-comics thanks!
Watch out for knightfall books they sell well so do mark Texeira books in MCP and Ghost Rider
Yes mainline batman stuff sells well for me so I always pull that stuff and pay more. If only there was some of that in this collection.
They don’t have much value, but LEGION 89-94, and all those Giffen era Justice League comics, are great reads. The Legion 89 stuff has never been collected, but all 70 issues can be found cheap. Isn’t that Superman Terminator book worth around $10? I’m not sure, but I would be surprised to see it in a dollar bin. The Superman Gen 13 is probably a $4-5. There’s J. Scott Campbell covers in that series that are worth more, probably worth checking
I had to check both those mashup books, the superman terminator book was indeed a $10 book and the gen 13 superman one was a $15 book. I ended up giving him more money yesterday for those two books when he came in with more comics yesterday.
@@pop-comics Awesome, I’m glad to hear it! I always keep my eyes out for unusual Gen 13 covers. JSC is popular and prolific. I’ve found quite a few valuable comics, with covers by him, in dollar bins, over time. Gen 13 books have such a vast value range, like from zero to a hundred dollars. It seems like people pass up rare issues, thinking they’re just another overprinted 90s comic(which many of them are lol)
I like those Ex-Mutants books. They're cheap and they have early Ron Lim art. That Superman Gen 13 crossover has some value to it - maybe $15
They do have kinda cool looking art. I think I have most of them, so I have to sort and check which ones I still need. Did not know the superman / gen 13 crossover had value now its on my radar thanks. If they come back with more comics I will probably give them a little more.
Weapon x books sell 8-15 bucks based on the condition on eBay and Mercari from what I've seen. 72 goes for a lot.
72 definitely the key, the rest I usually get $5 unless its super high grade. Most of these were vf so $5 range on the 2 weapon x books.
@@pop-comics I can understand paying that as a dealer but they will sell for more usually online
They will cost people more online to buy, but after fees, the cost of materials to ship and the labor to photograph and list I make the same or less then what I make in the shop. So I have to take into account those costs when buying as well.
I had to double check, the two in this lot that I bought dont even sell for $5.
I been watching your channel for a few years now it's a good learning tool for collectors , my question is do graphic novels and omnibus collection have any value to them
Some graphic novels and omnibus go out of print and do gain value. But there is a limit to that value since in most cases they are reprints of single issues. For the most part though they stay in print so for the most part they dont go up in value etc. There are some exceptions like Killing Joke 1st print or The New Mutants graphic novel with their first appearance.
At the end of the day I tend to buy new graphic novels and omnibus if its something I want to read, I prefer that format. And then not so much worry about resell value, I get my value out of them by actually enjoying them etc. Kinda like buying a movie ticket. I just see what I spend on them as a sunk cost. And then all other cases I just buy them if its a great deal etc.
Sam Kieth MCP books sell good online you can probably get $4-$8 for them
Sam keith books are really cool, these I think were in the $2-$3 range since they were vf copies not nm
You've got a lot of good shit!
Lots of cool comics, just common stuff that I see all the time.
Cool comics
definitely some cool ones
I remember those comics when I was a kid
its like a time machine seeing them
The marvel universe 17 is the first interior jimlee
Very cool to know thanks
From my experience any action comics or Superman that aren't keys that are 1989 to 97 are worth * so I'd make a list of the keys to watch for the issue numbers and the rest make a pile and list them as a lot or dump in a dollar box.
Most 90s DC is really low value or super common so even if it has some value I probably have 30 already to sell so not rushing to buy more.
@@pop-comics I try to avoid them like the plague if possible
Yeah I dont go out of my way to buy it unless its in a collection and super cheap.
Why did u pick 'New Gods in New York' twice.
Not sure what you mean? Anything in the collection multiple times would have been from the original owner. I just bought the whole collection.
6:58 and 7:17 , u picked New Gods in New York , two times.
Any books about collecting comics??
I have a bunch of different books on comic history, not sure there is one just on collecting all by itself. I would read that though haha
That Batman and Robin movie comic is about a $10 book
Very cool, thought it might have a bit more value. I know the 1989 one popped in value last year when they mentioned the 89 batman coming back.
@@pop-comics Been watching your videos for years absolutely love your shop and channels. Someday i hope to come out to NY to visit your shop!
Very cool, a trip to the shop would be great.
That’s green arrow 1 is a few bucks
I will have to look that one up then.
Just a few buck…not that much.
✨⭐✨💞💖💞💖💞💖💞✨⭐✨
Thanks :)
all the new gods are going up with DC movie are coming and darkside .
I will have to keep that in mind then. I love collecting the bronze age stuff.
